How to prepare for Pokémon Go Spotlight Hour

Before the Pokémon Go Spotlight Hour for Growlithe happens, you can prepare your game for it. This means stocking up on Pokéballs and getting some Berries to make catching Growlithe easier. Don't forget to use some Incense to help catch even more Pokémon. You can also check if your in-game Storage Box has enough room.

If you have a Lucky Egg, then use one at the start of the event. This is because the Lucky Egg will increase the amount of XP you get for 30 minutes. There's also the option to use Star Pieces to earn more Stardust.
