Pokemon GO developers at Niantic have set several recurring events to keep the engagement going, and Spotlight Hour is one of them. Spotlight Hour is an hour-long mini-event that features a particular monster and increases its spawn rate drastically with a specific bonus. Buneary falls under some of the monsters regularly featured in the Spotlight Hour event.
Pokemon GO players celebrate the Spotlight Hour event with the opportunity to farm Candy and catch Shiny variants of the featured monster. Buneary is a Normal-type Pokemon with a maximum CP of 1423 with a stats spread of 130 ATK, 105 DEF, and 146 STA. Evolving Buneary results in a powerful Lopunny, which can Mega Evolve into a Mega Lopunny. One can also get a Shiny Buneary and a Shiny Lopunny during the event. That said, this guide explores everything about the Buneary Spotlight Hour event.

Pokemon GO: Buneary Spotlight Hour And Bonuses
Pokemon GO players can participate in the Buneary Spotlight Hour from Tuesday, November 14, at 6 PM till Tuesday, November 14, at 7 PM Local Time. The event boosts the Buneary spawn rate, making it easier to farm Candy. Spotlight Hour participants also get a special bonus of 2× Evolution XP.
One can also encounter a Shiny Buneary in the wild during the event. The boosted Buneary spawn rate might help players catch up to its Shiny odds faster than other days. Let it be the Shiny or the Standard variant; Buneary is a fantastic catch. While the monster resists Ghost-type attacks, it is weak to only Fighting-type moves in Pokemon GO. Evolving Buneary also produces a powerful Lopunny, which delivers a fantastic performance in PvP and PvE battles.
Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Buneary
Players may catch up to Shiny Buneary’s shiny odds due to the Spotlight Hour’s boosted spawn rate. But, one can also use different Pokemon GO items to increase the already boosted wild spawn rate further. Doing so might help players catch up to Buneary’s Shiny odds faster.
Pokemon GO Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost function can significantly increase Pokemon spawn rate in the wild. While Lure Modules attach to a PokeStop/Gym and Incenses attach to the player, the Weather Boost effect can boost spawn rate around areas with certain weather conditions.
The Normal-type Buneary experiences a spawn rate boost in areas with partly cloudy weather. Pokemon GO players should look for a PokeStop or Gym with partly cloudy weather, attach a Lure Module, and activate an Incense. Once all the steps are done right, all that is left is to walk around the specific PokeStop/Gym. This strategy can stack their effects and increase spawn rates on events that feature Buneary. The higher the spawn rate, the faster players may catch up to Shiny Buneary spawn odds.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Lopunny
Although Shiny Buneary is a wild spawn, one cannot directly get a Shiny Lopunny. First, catch a Shiny Buneary and later evolve it into a Shiny Lopunny. The evolution requirement is the same as its Standard variant, 50 Pokemon GO Candy. Players can use its boosted spawn rate during the Spotlight Hour event and farm the required amount of Candy.
