Pokemon Go Growing Up Event Shiny Odds

Pidgey Spotlight Hour is a scheduled 1-hour event on a Thursday evening featuring increased Pidgey spawns. Whether the shiny form is available is determined by the event's shiny eligibility — PokéEvent lists confirmed shiny availability on the Spotlight Hour event page.

In-person Community Days run for 3 hours in a single window per region. The featured Pokémon spawns at an increased rate, its shiny form is available, and a special charged move is unlocked for evolution during and for 1 hour after the event window ends.

Core event mechanics (shiny availability, spawn rates, bonus multipliers) are global. Only the local wall-clock window differs per region. This means the same bonus applies in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific — just offset by the relevant timezone. PokéEvent's regional rows show the local time for each region.

Flying Taxi events in Pokémon GO introduce regional spawn changes, exclusive research tasks, and sometimes exclusive Pokémon encounters depending on the theme. Check the specific Flying Taxi event page on PokéEvent for the full spawn list and any exclusive shiny availability.
