What are the Pokemon Go Spotlight Hours this Month
Each month Pokemon Go release a monthly infographic schedule on their Twitter account. This schedule reveals what players can expect coming in the month ahead across a wide range of things like Raids and the Spotlight Hours. Currently we are on the month of April and the available Pokemon Go Spotlight Hours have been revealed. There are four events to take part in this month:

When the Spotlight Hour is active players have the chance to encounter more spawns of the special Pokemon that is active for that spotlight. Alongside encountering more of a specific Pokemon there are additional rewards to be earned in that hour. Trainers can use this time to catch Shiny versions of the Pokemon if they are available.
The Spotlight Hour can be a very beneficial hour to play Pokemon Go during. Trainers can use this time to stock up on resources they may be low on. Additionally trainers can use things like Incense and Lures to really pump up the amount of Pokemon they encounter during the hour event.
