How to take advantage of Abra Spotlight Hour in Pokemon GO

Spotlight Hour events have been a longtime favorite feature of Pokemon GO fans. Players of the mobile game are particularly excited about the upcoming Abra Spotlight Hour that will take place on the evening of Tuesday, June 8th.

The Psychic-type Pokemon is relatively rare, and its evolutions are highly sought after creatures. Catching an abundance of Abra will garner players more species candies that are needed in order to evolve the Pokemon into its more powerful forms.

In addition, the increased spawn rate of Abra will give Pokemon GO gamers a better chance of encountering the shiny version of this Pocket Monster. To make the most of the Abra Spotlight Hour, players should keep the following tips in mind:

• Make room in Pokemon inventory for an abundance of Abras
• Stock up on Pokeballs before the event
• Save Berries to use during the Spotlight Hour

It's also crucial that trainers catch every Pokemon they see while the event is going on, even if they aren't Abras. That's because this specific Spotlight Hour will include a special bonus that earns players 2x the amount of species candies for each Pocket Monster that they catch.

Between the multitude of Abras that will be popping up in the mobile game and the 2x candy bonus, trainers will have a fantastic opportunity to rack up enough candy to evolve Abra into Kadabra and ultimately Alakazam.
