The Pokemon GO Ralts Spotlight Hour event offers a chance to get Shiny Ralts in the wild. Participants of the mini-event can encounter numerous Ralts since the Spotlight Hour notably increases its wild spawn rate. The Ralts Spotlight Hour participants also get a Special Bonus during the event’s runtime.
Ralts can evolve into a Kirlia and then into a Gallade or Gardevoir, adding more value to their Shiny variants. The Psychic and Fairy-type Ralts has a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 609 and stats of 79 ATK, 59 DEF, and 99 STA, which improves with evolution. Participants of the Ralts Spotlight Hour can also encounter Shiny Ralts and evolve it into a powerful Shiny Gallade or Shiny Gardevoir. The event’s increased spawn rate might greatly help in encountering a Shiny. That said, this guide details everything Ralts Spotlight Hour offers.

Pokemon GO: Ralts Spotlight Hour And Bonuses
Pokemon GO trainers can participate in the Ralts Spotlight Hour from Tuesday, January 16, at 6 PM to Tuesday, January 16, at 7 PM Local Time. During the one-hour runtime of the event, a boosted rate of Ralts spawns in the wild. There is also a Special Bonus of 2× Transfer Candy for the Ralts Spotlight Hour participants.
The boosted wild spawn rate during Ralts Spotlight Hour might support players to encounter Shiny Ralts. Those who encounter multiple Ralts may catch up to its Shiny odds and get a Shiny Ralts encounter. While the Ralts Spotlight Hour’s boosted wild spawn rate helps, some Pokemon GO items can further increase wild Pokemon spawn rate.
Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Ralts
While there is no certain way to ensure a Shiny encounter, Pokemon GO players can increase their odds by encountering multiple Standard variants. One must match the specific monster’s Shiny odds by taking advantage of its boosted spawn rate during featured events like the Spotlight Hour. On top of that, players can also use items like Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost feature to boost the spawn rate around certain areas further.
While the Incense attaches to the players and Pokemon GO Lure Modules attach to a PokeStop or Gym, Weather Boost is a passive effect that triggers during certain weather conditions. Incense increases the wild spawn rate wherever players walk, Lure Modules boost the wild spawn rate around that specific PokeStop or Gym, and the Weather Boost spawns Pokemon that are affected by certain weather conditions.
Ralts wild spawn rate boosts in windy and cloudy weather conditions. Players can attach a Lure Module to a Pokemon GO PokeStop or Gym, activate an Incense, and traverse around that specific area. This particular strategy can stack their effects, which is especially useful during events that already increase wild Ralts spawn rate.
Using the strategy can increase the wild spawn rate for Ralts and help encounter multiple Standard variants, but it doesn’t guarantee a Shiny encounter. While lucky Pokemon GO players might encounter Shiny Ralts, others might just get encounters with a Standard variant.
