While Seedot and Shiny Seedot will be spawning more frequently for this event, other regular Pokémon spawns will occur as expected. Therefore, additional Spotlight Hour bonuses will be active during Seedot’s Spotlight Hour event, including the following listed below:

• Double XP when evolving Pokémon
• Double Stardust when catching Pokémon
• Double Catch Candy
• Double Candy when transferring Pokémon

This Spotlight Hour event is the only time you’ll encounter Seedot more frequently, as it won’t be featured in other in-game events as of writing. Nevertheless, catching Seedot should be relatively easy to achieve.

To attract Seedot’s attention, using Incense and Lure Modules (on PokéStops) will see plenty of wild Pokémon for around 30 minutes after activation. As Seedot is a Grass-type Pokémon, installing the Mossy Lure Module will attract Bug, Grass, and Poison-type Pokémon to your chosen PokéStop.

Regular Poké Balls will work fine, and you can utilize any throw when attempting to catch Seedot. Likewise, you can use Razz Berries to increase your chances of catching Seedot, while Pinap Berries and Nanab Berries will see Seedot drop more Candy and slow its movement while attempting to catch it.
