'Pokemon GO' Pidove Spotlight Hour: Tips to Maximize Your Catch

With a max CP of 958, the double Normal and Flying-type Pokémon Pidove can look pretty normal at first glance, given in-game stat distribution at 98 Attack, 80 Defense, and 137 Stamina. However, with evolution, you can unlock a much more powerful Pokémon added to the roster, GameRant writes.

When is Pidove Spotlight Hour

While a Pokémon, Pidove can earn unique benefits, like bonus catches and other rewards, including, but not limited to, Catch Combo and Research Breakthrough bonuses.

Pidove Spotlight Hour will occur on Tuesday, Oct. 1, from 6 PM to 7 PM Local Time. During the one-hour mini-event, you'll have more opportunities to catch wild Pidoves than usual in the wild. You can also encounter shiny wild Pidove while continuing your searches.

The most prominent feature of this Spotlight Hour is the 2× Transfer Candy bonus. This means you will get twice as much Pokémon GO Candy for any transferred Pokémon, which can stack candy up for future evolutions or powering up.

How to Get Ready for the Pidove Spotlight Hour

To make the most out of catches when the Pidove spotlight hour is on, try these techniques:

1. Gather Essential Items
Stock up on Poké Balls before the Spotlight Hour so that you are ready to catch as many Pidoves as possible. The more Poké Balls, the better your chances are for a successful catch.

2. Use Incense and Lure Modules
Combine the use of Incense and Lure Modules for better capture methods. These will surely raise the spawn rate of Pidove, meaning you have a higher chance of spotting one around.

3. Use Weather.
Pidoves appear in Partly Cloudy and Windy weather more often. Utilize this: Go to a PokéStop in an area experiencing that weather. Add a Lure Module to the PokéStop and light a Pokémon GO Incense. Be sure to walk around the area of effect radius around the PokéStop to maximize the stacked effect fully.

Final Tips for a Successful Spotlight Hour

As the Pidove Spotlight Hour sets in, it is essential to be ready. Monitor your item's weather and quantity, ensuring you are prepared for whatever may happen during the spotlight hour.

Do not let any moment slip you up in receiving the double candy bonus by transferring all extras of the Pokémon caught within the Pidove Spotlight Hour. So you will be able to maximize your experience and upgrade your Pokémon completely.
