Pokemon GO Makuhita Spotlight Hour increases Makuhita’s wild spawn rate. With the increased wild spawn rate, there is a possibility of a High IV Makuhita encounter. You also get an event-exclusive Special Bonus.
The FIghting-type Makuhita has a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 924. Since the Spotlight Hour increases wild Makuhita’s spawn rate, you can easily farm Makuhita Candy. While the monster is a mediocre fighter, evolving it results in a powerful Hariyama. That said, this guide details everything about the Makuhita Spotlight Hour Time, bonuses, and Shiny Makuhita availability in the game.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Makuhita?
There is a high chance of a wild Shiny Makuhita spawning during featured events. Since encountering a Shiny Pokemon depends on the number of encounters, you must try to reach its Shiny odds. Using different in-game items during the Spotlight Hour can further increase the wild Makuhita spawn rate.
Pokemon GO items like Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost feature can significantly increase Pokemon spawn rate in the wild. While all of these elements work individually, you can also simultaneously use them to stack their effects.
- Makuhita’s Weather Boost activates during cloudy weather.
- Find a PokeStop with cloudy weather and attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module to it.
- Activate an Incense and walk around.
- Using these steps during the Makuhita Spotlight Hour can increase its spawn rate around that PokeStop.
Remember that this strategy doesn’t guarantee a Shiny Makuhita encounter. Even after following all these steps, only Regular variants may spawn.
If you catch a Shiny Makuhita, you can then evolve it. Shiny Makuhita evolves into Shiny Hariyama at the cost of 50 Candy. Earn the Pokemon GO Candy by catching and transferring several Makuhita.
