Pokémon GO July 2025 Spotlight Hours schedule & bonuses

July 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 July 2025.

All the July 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 July, and each one will have its own bonus.

Here are all the featured Pokémon and Bonuses coming in July 2025.

The first of the July 2025 Spotlight Hours in Pokémon is great for those who are chasing a new shiny costumed Pikachu for their collection. This special Spotlight Hour is part of the exciting 9th Anniversary Party event in Pokémon GO. This Pikachu can be shiny, however it does not have boosted rates.

Second up in July is a double whammy. There are two versions of Voltorb on offer, and also the chance to rack up some pretty impressive amounts of XP thanks to the Spotlight Hour bonus. Both forms of Voltorb can be shiny, and they are also pretty easy Pokémon to consistently hit Excellent Throws on which really helps that XP stack up across the hour.

Next up in July is Feebas. This Pokémon isn't super meta relevant, however it does have a very iconic purple colored shiny. This Spotlight Hour isn't a hugely impactful one, but it is a chance to grab that shiny if you don't have it already should luck be in your favour.

As we approach the end of July 2025 we get a super helpful Spotlight Hour. 2x Transfer Candy is always a great bonus, and it will let you clear out any Pokémon you are hanging onto from Eevee Community Day Classic or even from GO Fest Global. Oh, Jigglypuff will also be spawning!

Finally in July 2025 we have a chance to get your hands on Roggenrola. This Pokémon did have a Community Day a few years ago but a lot of Trainers have joined or re-joined the game since then. Gigalith and especially the new Shadow Gigalith are pretty useful Rock-type attackers with special move, Meteor Beam. That means grinding a good IV Roggenrola and some extra candy is a good use of your time in Pokémon GO.
