Pokémon Go loves to spotlight specific Pokémon throughout its monthly content rotations, typically splitting the focus between random species you can encounter in the wild and rarer ones found in Raids that month. These Spotlight Hours and Raid Hours often include gameplay bonuses as well.

Spotlight Hours typically have one species of Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wild with a gameplay bonus to go along with it—with some events featuring multiple Pokémon. Meanwhile, Raid Hours pull the active Pokémon from that month’s five-star raid rotation and ups the frequency of those Raids appearing. Here is a full guide to Pokémon Go Spotlight and Raid Hours through the end of April, which includes multiple Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts.
