Gastly Spotlight Hour runs from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time on October 29 (Thu). During this hour, Gastly will appear in large numbers in the wild, and there is a chance of encountering a Shiny Gastly. The bonus is <strong>×2 XP for evolutions</strong>.

How to make the most of the Evolution XP ×2 bonus

The ×2 XP bonus for evolutions applies to every evolution you perform during this one-hour window. Evolving Gastly → Haunter → Gengar lets you receive double XP for both evolutions. Stock up on Candy in advance and batch your evolutions during the event hour to get the most out of the bonus. Before spending Gastly Candy, use the IV rank checker to check each individual's IV and narrow down which ones to evolve, so no Candy goes to waste.
