Pokemon Go: Baltoy Spotlight Hour and double XP

Baltoy in the Pokemon Anime

Pokemon Go is holding a Spotlight Hour for the Clay Doll Pokemon, Baltoy. If you’ve been looking to find some of Baltoy, this is your chance.

Even if you don’t particularly care about Baltoy in Pokemon Go, you might be best off taking part in this event anyway, as the entire spotlight hour will also feature doubled catch XP.

What can we expect from the Baltoy spotlight hour?

For anyone who isn’t used to this particular Pokemon Go event type, Spotlight hours are basically a one-hour long event consisting of all spawns being replaced by a single Pokemon, in this case, that means Baltoy. A whole lot of Baltoy.

The spawn replacing effects are quite similar to what you’d expect from a Community day, but Spotlight hours do not come with all the other extras, they are very simple affairs comparatively.

This is all great if you like Baltoy, not so much if you’re not really a fan of the Clay Doll Pokemon. Fortunately, there is also typically an additional bonus.

The event bonus can occasionally go some way to compensating for featured Pokemon that a trainer doesn’t want – though on this occasion the bonus is simply alright, Doubled experience per capture is a welcome bonus that will add up, but it isn’t uniquely exciting or useful.

When is the Pokemon Go Baltoy Spotlight Hour?

The Baltoy spotlight hour for Pokemon Go will start on September 14th at 6:00 PM local time and will run until 7:00 PM local time, for a total duration of one hour.

This is the usual length of spotlight hours as the name indicates, and exceptions to this are extremely rare if they ever occur.

Additionally, for those unfamiliar with Pokemon Go’s Local time, it means that you don’t need to worry about timezones because the game event will take place at that time in every timezone, so it’ll be a staggered out event launch across the world.

What else is there to know?

If you’re still not sold, there is one last thing to consider in favour of Spotlight hours. They make excellent chances in Pokemon Go to farm for the Shiny version of the featured Pokemon, in this case, that would be Baltoy.

And fortunately for any Shiny Hunters reading this, the shiny form of Baltoy is freely available right now in Pokemon Go, making it possible to find during the spotlight hour – good luck on the search trainers.
