The Adventures Abound season of Pokemon Go is coming to a close, and players have the chance to celebrate one last Spotlight Hour before jumping to the next era of the mobile game. Here’s everything you need to know about the Lechonk Spotlight Hour in Pokemon Go.

November 2023 is almost over, but before the Adventures Abound season of Pokemon Go ends, players can celebrate one of Paldea’s favorite Pokemon one last time. Lechonk will headline the next Spotlight Hour in the mobile game, and players are looking forward to the bonuses and the opportunity to stock up on Lechonk Candy.

So, here’s everything you need to know about the Lechonk Spotlight Hour in Pokemon Go, including date and time, available bonus, shiny availability, and more.

Pokemon Go Lechonk Spotlight Hour date & time

The Pokemon Go Lechonk Spotlight Hour takes place on November 28, 2023, between 6 PM and 7 PM local time.

During this hour, trainers can find large numbers of Lechonk spawns. What’s more, players have even higher chances of attracting Lechonk with Incense and Lure Modules.

Lechonk became a fan-favorite Pokemon even before Scarlet & Violet’s release.

Can Lechonk be shiny in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Lechonk can be shiny in Pokemon Go. While it’s not common for Pokemon to debut in the mobile game alongside their shiny counterparts, this was the case with many creatures from Paldea.

It’s worth noting that, while players can encounter hundreds of Lechonk during its Spotlight Hour, the chances of finding a shiny version remain unchanged. So, the odds of encountering a shiny Lechonk are 1 in 500 or 0.2% chance.

Pokemon Go Lechonk Spotlight Hour bonus

Pokemon Go trainers can enjoy a bonus of 2x XP for catching Pokemon during the Lechonk Spotlight Hour on November 28.

This can be useful even for trainers who aren’t interested in Lechonk, so we recommend using a Lucky Egg to earn even more XP.

Can Lechonk evolve in Pokemon Go?

Yes, Lechonk can evolve into Oinkologne with 50 Candy in Pokemon Go.

Players should note that male and female Oinkologne look different from each other. So, to complete your Paldean collection, you’ll need to evolve a male and a female Lechonk by spending a total of 100 Candy.
