Pokemon GO offers numerous in-game events, including mini events that span a couple of hours, or longer themed events with dedicated timelines. One of the regular events in the game is the well-known Spotlight Hour, where a selected Pokemon will have increased spawn rates in the wild, and offer a special bonus during one hour.

On April 2, 2024, Pokemon GO's Spotlight Hour event will feature Zubat, one of the iconic original 151 Kantonian creatures. Alongside increased spawns for Zubat in the wild, this one-hour timeframe will also feature a bonus for players to make the most of. This can assist Trainers in completing their Pokedex, progressing Research Tasks, or establishing battle-ready Pokemon for PvP. For this reason, knowing the details for April's Zubat Spotlight Hour can come in handy, allowing you to prepare in advance and gain the most out of this opportunity.

Pokemon GO's in-game Spotlight Hour event, taking place on April 2, 2024, will feature the Poison and Flying Dual-Type Pokemon. The Zubat Spotlight Hour event will begin at 6 PM, and run until 7 pm, local time. Throughout this timeframe, players will be able to witness an increased number of Zubat spawning in the wild during their adventures, catching them in bulk, farming for candy, completing the evolution line, and hunting down competitive-worthy Zubat with strong IVs.

In addition to the increased wild spawn rates for Zubat, this Spotlight Hour event will also feature an event bonus - 2x Transfer Candy. This means that when transferring any Pokemon, you will receive double the rewards. As Zubat will have an increased spawn rate, this bonus will also enable you to stockpile a significant stash of Zubat Candy, enabling you to evolve Zubat into Golbat, and Crobat, or increase CP.

Tapu Lele is returning to 5-star raids in Pokemon GO, and here are the best counters and weaknesses for the Pokemon.

Lastly, for some lucky Trainers, the chance to obtain a shiny Zubat may be available, as Zubat has a shiny form live in the game. With the increased wild spawn rates, players will have more frequent encounters with the creature, meaning they will have more chances of stumbling upon this variant. As indicated by player data once collected and investigated by The Silph Road during their partnership with Niantic, shiny rates for wild encounters in Pokemon GO are estimated to be 1 in 500. While Spotlight Hours do not have increased shiny rates, the increased frequency of spawns for these Pokemon gives players more opportunities to beat these odds.
