Pokémon Spotlight Hour will feature a different Pokémon and a special bonus for one hour at 6:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday during the month of April. Fomantis Spotlight Hour takes place on April 15th, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with a bonus of 2x XP for evolving Pokémon.
This Spotlight Hour is the second April 2025 Pokémon spotlight. Trainers who plan to participate should be prepared with a Mega Pokémon to maximise candy gains per ‘mon caught. Here’s everything you need to know!
Bonuses 
-
You will get 2x XP for evolving Pokémon -
The featured Pokémon and its evolution can be shiny in Pokémon GO
Note on XP Bonus
If you do not want to catch the featured Pokémon, you can make use of the 2x Evolution XP bonus by evolving any saved Scatterbug, or opening a Mystery Box or Coin Bag! This is a great opportunity to evolve any Pokémon for XP before clearing out your storage. Fomantis is an interesting choice for an evolution XP bonus spotlight hour, because it needs a whopping 100 candy to evolve, and a Sinnoh Stone!
The old-school grinders will remember the days of saving Pidgey and other low cost evolutions for this sort of spotlight hour, and it can be a good way to grind XP with a lucky egg on.
Fomantis is a Grass-type Pokémon in Pokémon GO. As a Grass-type Pokémon, Fomantis is weak to Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Poison-type moves.
Fomantis’s maximum Combat Power stat is 838 CP, and its best Pokémon GO moves are Leafage and Energy Ball. Fomantis encounters are boosted during Sunny weather. Shiny Fomantis is available!
How to evolve Fomantis into Lurantis
Shiny Fomantis
Shiny Fomantis should be easy enough to spot – the usual pink colourings turn light green.

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Fomantis if they are Mega/Primal evolved. We highly recommend Mega Evolving a Pokémon during this event to get as much candy as possible!
A Note on Mega Catch Bonus
While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

LURANTIS‘ stats are very average… very slightly less bulky than Swampert, Venusaur, and Talonflame, and right in line with Trevenant in terms of Attack strength and overall bulk. (Those are ALL right in the same ballpark depending on IVs.) The pure Grass typing means Lurantis and Fomantis resist Grass, Electric, Water, and Ground, and are weak to Poison, Fire, Ice, Flying, and Bug.
Lurantis is well worth hunting for as a new toy in Great League, Little League, and Ultra Leauge, in that order. You may even want two if you can manage it, one with Superpower (sneaking away with some impressive Steel wins) and one with Leaf Storm (for a higher ceiling with big bomby damage)
