Like most events in this title, Lechonk Spotlight Hour comes with a bonus that will make players want to go out and devote an hour to this event. The Lechonk Spotlight Hour will give you an exciting bonus that is twice the amount of Experience Points (XP) for catching Pocket Monsters.
This means that for every Pokemon you catch during this period, you will get 2x Experience Points. If you are trying to level up quickly in GO, you should definitely take advantage of this Spotlight Hour.
How to prepare for Lechonk Spotlight Hour in Pokemon GO
Managing Pokemon Storage
Since there is a delightful bonus for catching monsters during this event, it is advisable to catch as many as you can during the Lechonk Spotlight Hour in GO.
As a result, having 150-200 Pokemon slots in your Storage would be ideal. Make sure to clear out the unnecessary beasts before the event starts, as you do not want to waste a single minute once the Spotlight Hour starts.
Managing Item Storage
Clear out as many Berries as you can, as you will not need any during this event. Though Lechonk has an evolution, it is pointless to run after the evolution as it is not very useful in this title.
Instead, you should collect Poke, Great, and Ultra Balls for catching monsters to bank on the 2x Catch XP bonus.

Since we are looking at 200 catches during the Lechonk Spotlight Hour, keeping roughly 400 balls in your Item Storage would be ideal.
While collecting balls for this event, try to get as many Great and Ultra Balls as possible, as they have a higher catch rate. This will prevent you from encountering failed attempts, and you will not waste time on follow-up throws.
Should you use Berries to catch Lechonk during the Lechonk Spotlight Hour event in Pokemon GO?
We would advise you to play this event without Berries. You do not need Lechonk Candies at the moment. Even if you do, there will be a boosted spawn rate for this creature. So, you will have a thick stack of Lechonk Candies after the Spotlight Hour.
Do you need Incense and Lucky Eggs during the Lechonk Spotlight Hour in Pokemon GO?
Using Incense during the Lechonk Spotlight Hour event will increase the spawns of creatures around you. As a result, you can catch more beasts and get more XP from the event bonus.
You should also activate a couple of Lucky Eggs during this event to get an additional 50% XP. This will help you gain a lot of Experience Points, allowing you to level up significantly faster.

Like most of the creatures in this title, Lechonk comes with a spectacular shiny variant. The dull black theme on the regular version makes way for an attractive pink pig. When you evolve Lechonk into Oinkologne, it keeps the pink theme which looks leagues better than the normal variant.
