Pokemon Go Diglett Spotlight Hour guide

The next Diglett Spotlight Hour for Pokemon Go will be in January 2022! Players can get one of the game's most valuable perks in addition to the potential to get a Shiny Dugtrio. Pokemon Go's Spotlight Hour, first introduced by Niantic in 2020, has quickly become one of the game's most popular regular events. Trainers will get an opportunity to catch the Kanto region's Ground-type Diglett for the second January celebration.

While Diglett may not be the best addition to your team, this Spotlight Hour is the ideal time to stock up on Candy and evolve it into Dugtrio's final form. It's also a good idea to go Shiny hunting during Spotlight Hours.

Every second Tuesday of the month, as it has done since 2020, a 60-minute celebration for a particular Pokemon is held. Trainers that explore the map within the designated period will come across the chosen men with increased spawn rates.

Pokemon Go Diglett Spotlight Hour date & start time

The Pokemon Go Diglett Spotlight Hour will take place on Tuesday, January 11, 2022. The limited-time event begins at 6 p.m. local time and runs until 7 p.m. local time, so it begins at that time no matter where you are in the world. Get ready to catch some Diglett in the second Spotlight Hour of January 2022!

How to prepare for Diglett Spotlight Hour

Because this Spotlight Hour is only 60 minutes long, it is critical to prepare ahead of time. Here are some things you may do to prepare:

• Buy at least two Incense with your Pokecoins to use during the hour.
• Make room in your Pokemon Storage Box for all of the Diglett you're going to catch.
• Bring a bunch of Poke Balls so you can catch as many Pokemon as possible.
• To evolve the Spotlight Hour Pokemon, collect Pokemon Candy!

Pokemon Go Diglett Spotlight Hour bonus

As part of the event perks for the Spotlight Hour on January 11, 2022, gamers will receive Double Catch Stardust. This 2x Catch Stardust boost applies to all Pokemon, not just Diglett, so now is the best time to catch as many as you can and load up on Stardust to help you evolve and level up your team.

During Spotlight Hours, we always recommend using an XP-boosting Lucky Egg. Pokemon Go's level maximum has been raised from 40 to 50 since December 2020, so don't miss out on this chance to rack up some easy points.

Is Shiny Diglett in Pokemon Go?

The good news is that Shiny Diglett is now available in Pokemon Go, implying that Shiny Dugtrio is as well. They both made their debuts at the 2019 Earth Day celebration. Shiny versions are notoriously difficult to come by, but there's no better opportunity to get one than during a Spotlight Hour when there will be hundreds to choose from.

How to evolve Diglett into Dugtrio in Pokemon Go

It's simple to evolve Diglett into Dugtrio, as you only need to collect 50 Diglett Candy. You can acquire Candy faster by using Pinap Berries, as well as transfer any Diglett you don't need. Once you've accumulated enough Candy, choose your favorite Diglett - keeping in mind which one has the highest stats – and tap 'evolution' on the screen to evolve into a Dugtrio.

Fortunately, the Spotlight Hour is the ideal time to stock up on Candy, as there will be hundreds of Diglett to capture throughout the event — and you'll earn double Catch Stardust in the process!
