Pidgey is the featured Pokemon in the next Pokemon GO Spotlight Hour, which is taking place from 6 PM to 7 PM local time on February 7, 2023.
During the Spotlight Hour, Pidgey will be spawning in the wild more often than usual. Plus, there is a useful in-game bonus for Pokemon trainers who want to level up!
Of course, Spotlight Hours are also the best opportunity to catch a shiny version of the featured Pokemon, if it has one. But can you catch a shiny Pidgey in Pokemon GO?
While Pidgey may not be the most exciting featured Pokemon, they only get better throughout the month. The February 2023 Pokemon GO Spotlight Hour schedule features fan-favorite Pokemon like Woobat and Jigglypuff!
