The Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus Hour events were added to the game for the first time in February 2020. Every week, for one hour only (6 p.m. – 7 p.m. local time), a certain surprise Pokémon will emerge more frequently in the wild, and a Mystery Bonus will be activated. This allows you to capture as many of the highlighted Pokémon as you can, evolve them using candy, and perhaps encounter a Shiny variant.

Across time zones, the Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus Hour events take place at the same time. They used to be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings before being merged into one event, however, Niantic temporarily reinstated a separate Bonus Hour on Thursdays in March 2021. (the Spotlight Hour continued to include a special bonus, too).

Every week on a Tuesday evening, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in your local timezone, Spotlight Hours take place. The next Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour will take place on Tuesday, September 21, 2021, between 6 and 7 p.m. in your time zone. Skitty is the selected Pokémon. During the event, the selected Pokémon will appear in the wild more frequently. 2x Catch Candy is the highlighted bonus during the hour of the event.

Mystery Bonus Hours were formerly conducted every Thursday evening from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the local timezone, but Niantic merged both events into one and began publicizing the bonuses in advance.

Niantic is experimenting with separate Bonus Hour events on Thursday evenings (without the ‘Mystery’) again as of March 2021. Rather than just doubling regular benefits, these unique occurrences include additional parts of the game.
