If you want a strong Alakazam, this is your best chance. The Abra Spotlight Hour gives players ample opportunity to catch the Psychic-type and enjoy a gameplay bonus that comes with it, but only for a limited time.
Details about Abra Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO!
Pokémon Go players will see more of Abra in the wild during Spotlight Hour, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time on May 14. This is a great chance to grind Abra Candy and train up a powerful Alakazam or Shiny-hunt for one. You’ll also get a bonus for playing around, so here’s what to expect during the event.
As part of Pokémon Go's May event series, the Abra Spotlight Hour will run from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time on May 14. The event will also award double XP for evolving a Pokémon.
Since that XP bonus applies to every evolution, this is a great opportunity to detonate a Lucky Egg and evolve Pokémon you’ve been saving to easily grind levels. If you don’t need to grind XP, Abra and its evolutions can be Shiny, so Shiny hunting is a great reason to go out and catch some for an hour. Alakazam is also quite strong in the Go Battle League if you have the right build, and getting 125 Abra Candy is easy during this event.
