What time does today's Spotlight Hour start in my timezone?

Spotlight Hour runs every Thursday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time. The featured Pokémon spawns at an increased rate and its shiny form is available if one exists. Use PokéEvent's regional countdown to confirm the exact start time for your timezone.

How do I know if Community Day is active in my region?
