August brings a major content update in Pokemon Go. This month’s spotlight hours include some classic first-generation Pokemon you will want to catch.
Every month Pokemon Go features a different set of Pokemon in its different monthly events. These monthly occurrences are raids, spotlight hours, and in August, the Pokemon Go Fest 2023: Global.
Every Tuesday is a spotlight hour day. Between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. local time, one Pokemon will drastically increase its spawn rate. These Pokemon come with special bonuses, just to make the hour even more interesting.
