Pokemon GO Roggenrola Spotlight Hour Guide (Can Roggenrola Be Shiny?)

by

In the world of Pokemon GO, Roggenrola stands out as an intriguing Rock-type character. It’s essential for players to be aware that during the Spotlight Hour, Roggenrola takes center stage. This event offers numerous opportunities for players to capture a rare Perfect (Hundo) and even a Perfect with no weaknesses (Shundo) Roggenrola. What makes Roggenrola unique is its single Rock-type nature, as many other Rock-type species are usually associated with another type, typically Ground.

Mantle Pokemon can attain a highest Combat Power (CP) of 1362 when leveled up to 50 with perfect stats. It transforms into Boldore by using 50 Roggenrola Candies. To evolve Boldore into Gigalith, you’ll need an impressive amount of 200 Roggenrola Candies. Alternatively, if you trade it with another trainer, as Boldore is one of the rare Pokemon that undergo ‘trade evolution’, you can get the evolution more easily. Therefore, if you plan to catch your own Roggenrola during this Spotlight Hour, make sure to stock up on Lure Modules, Incenses, and consult this guide for all the necessary information.

Pokemon GO: Roggenrola Spotlight Hour Time & Bonuses

On Tuesday, July 27, 2025, the special Pokémon GO event featuring Roggenrola, known as the Spotlight Hour, will take place. This event will begin at 6 PM and last until 7 PM in your local time zone. During this hour, Roggenrola will be the only wild Pokémon you’ll find on the map.

The bonuses for this Spotlight Hour will include a doubling of Evolution XP, making it an excellent opportunity for trainers looking to earn more Experience Points by evolving Roggenrola into Boldore and then trading for Gigalith. If you’re aiming to catch your own perfect IV specimen of Roggenrola, keep a close eye on the Trainer Community for tips on where to find it.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Roggenrola

During the Spotlight Hour event in Pokemon GO, players have a chance to capture Shiny Roggenrola. However, unlike during Community Day events, its appearance in the wild isn’t boosted. But don’t worry! Here are some strategies to enhance Shiny Roggenrola spawns:

Firstly, take advantage of the Weather Boost bonus, especially for Pokemon with the Mantle ability – this requires Partly Cloudy weather conditions.

Secondly, simultaneously use Incenses and Lure Modules to amplify the spawn rates.

  • Use Incense near PokeStops boosted by Lure Modules to increase Roggenrola spawn chances.
  • Take into consideration that spawns from Incense or Lure Modules might not be shared by all players.
  • You can get better results by finding PokeStops boosted by the Weather Conditions.
  • Remember to keep walking around the PokeStop to activate the Incense effects, these will do nothing if the player remains static for too long.
  • Players can also use the Party Play features to stay around their friends and complete missions while they participate in the Spotlight Hour, earning extra bonuses and alerting each other of the presence of Hundo Pokemon.

In the world of Pokemon, Shiny Spawns appear at random and two trainers side by side might encounter the same wild spawn, but only one could discover a Shiny version while the other gets a regular one. This means that even if you stumble upon a Perfect Spawn (which stays in place for a certain period), it’s mostly due to chance that it appears as Shiny too. Keep your fingers crossed on your search!
