Pokemon Go Nosepass Spotlight Hour guide: Can Nosepass be Shiny?

Pokemon Go’s Nosepass Spotlight Hour is next up in June 2022! But can Nosepass be shiny? Here’s everything we know.

Introduced by Niantic in 2020, Pokemon Go’s Spotlight Hour has become one of the title’s most popular recurring events. For the first celebration of June, Trainers will get a chance to catch the Hoenn region’s Rock-type Nosepass.

While Nosepass may not be the strongest addition to your team, this Spotlight Hour offers the perfect chance to stock up on Candy to evolve one into Probopass. It’s also a great time to go Shiny hunting!

As has been the case since 2020, each Tuesday of every month is dedicated to hosting a 60-minute celebration for a single Pokemon. Trainers exploring the map during the set time will encounter the selected ‘mon with boosted spawn rates.

Pokemon Go Nosepass Spotlight Hour date & start time

On Tuesday, June 7, 2022, the Pokemon Go Nosepass Spotlight Hour will take place.

The limited-time event kicks off at its usual time at 6 PM and runs until 7 PM local time, meaning no matter where you are in the world, the event starts at that time.

This is the first Spotlight Hour of June 2022, so get ready to catch some Nosepass!

In 2022, a Mystery Bonus Hour will run alongside Spotlight celebrations.

How to prepare for Nosepass Spotlight Hour in Pokemon Go

Preparation for this Spotlight Hour is crucial, as it only lasts – you guessed it – 60 minutes. Here’s what you can do to get ready for it:

Use your PokeCoins to buy an Incense to use during the hour.

Clear out space in your Pokemon Storage Box for all the Nosepass you’ll catch.

Bring a lot of Poke Balls with you so you can catch plenty of Pokemon.

Collect Pokemon Candy for the Spotlight Hour Pokemon to evolve it!

Pokemon Go Nosepass Spotlight Hour bonus

For the Spotlight Hour on June 7, 2022, players will snag Double Catch Candy as part of the event bonuses.

This 2x Catch Candy bonus will apply to any Pokemon, not just Nosepass, so it’s a good idea to catch as many Pokemon as you can during this event – then you’ll be evolving them in no time at all.

We always recommend using an XP-boosting Lucky Egg during Spotlight Hours. Since December 2020, Pokemon Go’s level cap was increased from level 40 to 50, so you won’t want to miss out on this chance to score some easy points.

There will be loads of Nosepass to catch during this event.

Is Shiny Nosepass in Pokemon Go?

The good news is that Yes, Shiny Nosepass is available to catch in Pokemon Go, which means Shiny Probopass is also available when evolved.

Shiny Pokemon are incredibly hard to find, but there’s arguably no better time to get one than during a Spotlight Hour when there will be hundreds of Pokemon for you to encounter.

Does Nosepass have an evolution in Pokemon Go?

Nosepass can evolve into Probopass with the help of 50 Candy. You’ll also need to attach a Magnetic Lure Module to a PokeStop and be near it when you begin the evolution process.

You can purchase a Magnetic Lure Module from the in-game shop for 200 coins. Then, if you’re struggling to earn enough Candy, make sure to use Pinap Berries when catching Nosepass for a bonus haul.

Remember, you can also transfer any Nosepass you don’t need to get some extra Candy – just make sure you check their stats by getting an appraisal before doing so to make sure you don’t transfer a good one!
