Pokemon Go’s Swinub Spotlight Hour is next up in June 2021. Players will not only get the chance to get a Shiny Piloswine and Mamoswine, but they can also score one of the game’s most useful bonuses.
Introduced by Niantic in 2020, Go’s Spotlight Hour schedule has become one of the title’s most popular recurring events. For the third celebration of the month, trainers will get a chance to catch the Sinnoh region’s Ice/Ground Pokemon.
While it may not look like a heavy hitter to add to your team in its original form, there’s no doubt that its evolutions make this an exciting potential catch. This will be the easiest chance you will get at adding a strong Shiny version to your lineup, too.

As has been the case since 2020, each Tuesday of every month is dedicated to hosting a 60-minute celebration for a single Pokemon. Trainers exploring the map during the set time will encounter the selected ‘mon with boosted spawn rates.
