Here are all the August 2025 Spotlight Hours in Pokémon GO.
August 2025 brings a new set of Pokémon GO Spotlight Hours. Once per week on a Tuesday, Trainers can encounter one specific featured Pokémon for an hour. There are also featured bonuses each week.
That makes Spotlight Hours a fantastic chance to get out and grind Pokémon GO. You can farm a lot of Stardust, XP, Candy, hunt shinies or even just grind for a specific type of one Pokémon.
Here are all the Spotlight Hours coming in August 2025.
When is the Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour?
All the August 2025 Spotlight Hours will take place in Pokémon GO on a Tuesday, between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. local time. There will be a Spotlight Hour each Tuesday during August, and each one will have its own bonus.
All August 2025 Spotlight Hours in Pokémon GO
Here are all the featured Pokémon and Bonuses coming in August 2025.
August 5 - Swirlix & 2x Catch Stardust
Our first August Spotlight Hour features Swirlix, and is a great chance to rack up some extra Stardust. In addition, Swirlix can also be shiny in Pokémon GO. Unfortunately Swirlix is not a stardust boosted Pokémon but this is still a good chance to grab some extra dust.

August 12 - Plusle and Minun & 2x Catch XP
Second up in the August 2025 Spotlight Hours is a Pokémon GO two for one special. Both Plusle and Minun will be spawning. That means two shinies to potentially chase, and extra Catch XP is also great if you can hone in on those Excellent Throws consistently.
August 19 - Ralts & 2x Catch Candy
Third in August is a meta relevant Pokémon, with Ralts. We now have both Mega Gallade and Mega Gardevoir in the game, so hunting a good IV Ralts of either gender is a great idea if you don't have one already. The extra catch Candy is also really helpful, and don't forget to use a Mega Evolution to get extra XL candy too.
August 26 - Lechonk & 2x Transfer Candy
The final August 2025 Spotlight Hour brings an excellent bonus to follow the exciting Pokémon GO Fest Max finale event the prior weekend. 2x Transfer candy is really helpful for clearing out your storage and transferring away any extra Gigantamax, Dynamax and Legendary Pokémon you caught over the weekend. Oh, and Lechonk is pretty cool too!
