This page explains why you should invest some time in catching Solosis during the hour-long window - such as a chance to find a 100% perfect IV Solosis - and a preview of shiny Solosis for when they finally arrive in Pokémon Go. While this Spotlight Hour falls in a quiet period for Pokémon Go, you can still partake in the Go Battle League, the Season of Heritage bonuses and, if you’ve pre-purchased a Go Tour: Johto ticket, January’s XP challenge. On this page: A Solosis with 100% stats can, after being evolved twice, become a Reuniclus, which is a good psychic-type choice for the Go Battle League and raids. You may also want to evolve it simply for the Pokédex entries. The CP values which correspond to perfect 15/15/15 values are as follows:
Level 30 (wild CP maximum) - 1172 CP Level 35 (weather boosted CP maximum) - 1270 CP
It’s important to remember that the wild CP value aligns with your trainer level until you reach Level 30. The CP values will be different from the ones above if you’re currently below Level 30, but, since the majority of the player base is above Level 30, we kept to the values for simplicity’s sake. Despite this fact, there’s a chance Solosis will be a Community Day candidate sometime in the future due to its multiple evolutions and its potential to become a strong psychic-type. If this is the case, then we can expect it’s shiny form to be released as part of this event and, if not, then it might be released during a psychic themed event. We can, however, bring you a preview of what shiny Solosis will look like thanks to the mainline Pokémon games. If you want to revisit Solosis’ debut in Pokémon Black and White, then here’s shiny Solosis at the 1:37 mark in the following video by Olig on YouTube:
This week’s bonus is double transfer candy and, if your Pokémon storage is nearly full, then it’s the perfect time for a clear out. The extra candy you gain will help you both evolve and power up, including Solosis. Since Reuniclus - Solosis’ final evolution - is a good psychic-type Pokémon, this Spotlight Hour is the perfect opportunity to stock up on candy. You can use this to power up and evolve your chosen Solosis to transform it into a good contender for the Go Battle League. Catching a bunch of Solosis will contribute to your psychic-type catch bonus medal, which is very useful if you’re close to reaching the platinum level.
Spotlight Hour, as the name suggests, also lasts for an hour - from 6pm to 7pm (local time). Don’t worry, however, if you can’t partake this week, because, next Tuesday, the week focuses on Diglett and has a double catch stardust bonus.
