There’s no denying every Pokemon Go player wants to catch a Shiny Ponyta during Spotlight Hour. As seasoned Pokemon masters, we understand the struggle of catching elusive rare Pokemon and the importance of making the most out of limited-time events. That’s why we’ve put together this witty and informative guide to help you level up your game. From tips on using Berries to the schedule of upcoming Spotlight Hour events, this guide has got you covered. 

Ponyta Spotlight Hour Schedule in Pokemon Go

(Updated on September 30, 2024 – updated links and format)

The following Spotlight Hour event to catch Ponyta in Pokemon Go will occur on May 9, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time. During this one-hour event, Ponyta will appear more frequently in the wild. Players will receive double the number of Pokemon Candy when catching Pokemon. It’s an excellent opportunity to catch as many Ponyta as possible. Because who doesn’t love this fiery stallion?

Can you Catch a Shiny Ponyta in Pokemon Go?

Yes, you can catch a Shiny Ponyta in Pokemon Go. Shiny Pokemon have alternate colors to their regular versions, and Shiny Ponyta has blue flames instead of orange ones. To increase your chances of catching a Shiny Ponyta, participate in events like the Spotlight Hour, which increases the frequency of Ponyta spawning in the wild. It’s like Hades spawned a horse for the underworld, but it still carries Pokemon’s cuteness.

Spotlight Hour Special Bonuses in Pokemon Go

The Spotlight Hour is a weekly event in Pokemon Go that only highlights a specific Pokemon for one hour. During this time, Pokemon appear more frequently in the wild, and players receive special bonuses. For example, during the Spotlight Hour for Ponyta, players receive two times the average amount of Pokemon Candy when catching Pokemon. To make the most of this event, use Incense to attract more Ponyta to your location and toss Pinap Berries to double the amount of Pokemon Candy you receive. You get some candy; you get some candy!

How to Evolve Ponyta in Pokemon Go

To evolve Ponyta in Pokemon Go, you need 50 Ponyta Candy. You can earn Ponyta Candy by catching Ponyta, transferring Ponyta to the Professor, or hatching Ponyta from an egg. Participate in events like the Ponyta Spotlight Hour to speed up the process. This event increases the chances of Ponyta spawning in the wild and rewards players with extra Pokemon Candy. The best part is that Rapidash, too, can be shiny.
