It might not be the most important month in terms of Valuable Pokémon to catch and use in raids or PvP in the GO Battle League, but it's a nice variety. Half of the month will give you a chance to find a fairly rare Shiny Pokemon, while the other half features at least one relevant meta species with Shroomish. And the special bonuses are nice, especially if you missed the 2x XP from the end of last year. This is a great chance to upgrade to level 40 or higher.
So I hope this Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour schedule for January 2021 helps you with the events of the month. We'll be covering everything that happens throughout the month and beyond, so check back soon for more on the game.
