Some of these bonuses coincide nicely with some Pokémon event staples. We already have a killer Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour on October 15, with Shroomish and 2x Stardust. Now, we have 2x catch XP at the same time, making this one of the best Spotlight Hours for some time.

In addition we also have boosted Raid XP on October 16, when there is a regularly scheduled Raid Hour. That will make this a great chance to grind for those of you working towards Level 50.

Be warned, these Timed Reseaches only last for the duration of the day so make sure you don’t miss out.

Finally, there will also be special event themed Field Research tasks that will award encounters with the three boosted Pokémon, Magnemite, Plusle and Minun.
