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 May. Furfrou Spotlight Hour takes place on May 6, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with 2× Catch Candy bonus.
This Spotlight Hour is the first May 2025 Pokémon spotlight, and it is especially interesting as the featured Pokémon can be shiny, and you will get 2x Candy on catch! In other words, this is a great time to farm those Candies!
Trainers who plan to participate should be prepared with a Mega Pokémon to maximise candy gains per Pokémon caught. Here’s everything you need to know!

Note on Catch Bonus
Changing Furfrou’s form costs 25 candy and 10,000 stardust. Make the most of this catch candy bonus to save up some candy for those form changes! Here’s how to get all the different Furfrou trims.
If you do not want to catch the featured Pokémon, you can make use of the 2x Catch Candy bonus by catching any saved Scatterbug, or opening a Mystery Box or Coin Bag! You can stock up field research or leave any special or timed research encounters until Spotlight Hour to make use of this bonus. If you aren’t interested in Gen 5 Starter candy, you could even use this bonus to get extra candy from catching raid bosses!

Mega Pokémon that boost Furfrou
The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Furfrou if they are Mega/Primal evolved.
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.
How does Furfrou perform?
PVE
Raids
Normal types aren’t suitable as Raid counters due to a lack of super-effective coverage. The thing is, even among Normal types, Furfrou is bad. Really bad. 
Gyms
Who let the Furfrou into the Gym? Out. OUT NOW!! 
PVP
Sand Attack, Take Down, Sucker Punch, Bite, Dark Pulse, Surf, Grass Knot. My goodness, this stylish doggo has a variety of moves. 
Style… but no substance. Give it a treat and order it to stay away from PvP. 
Great League
It has a Dark-type moveset and, being a Normal-type Pokémon, it heavily resists Ghost-type damage. That’s a niche, yep, but it’s a terrible PvP Pokémon in all other matchups. 
Ultra League
Good Furfrou, who is a good doggo?! 
Who? One that doesn’t go to the Ultra League! 
Master League
What’s a doggo’s bark to a dragon’s roar?
