Like just about everything in the world,Pokemon GOhas had to change a lot of plans over the last few weeks.Tons of in-personPoGOevents were cancelleddue to the coronavirus and the game is still adjusting and figuring out what’s next. As trainers prepare for a new month of the game, that leaves a lot of questions.
Although we already know thatPokemon GOhas postponed Safari Zones, there are other, small events that might still work out without breaking lockdown or social distancing rules. With that in mind, Niantic has released some information about how the April Pokemon Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus Hour will play out this time around.

For the month of April, Pokemon Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus Hour will continue to occur! Stay tuned to our official channels for updates.
We are continuing to prioritize updates to Pokémon GO features and experiences that can be enjoyed in individual settings. Events may vary in certain areas until further notice.
Although the popularity of each event will largely depend on the Pokemon and bonus that are selected to highlight, there’s no denying that many players are engaging with the game more than ever now that a lot of people are stuck at home with extra free time.Pokemon GOsaw some serious revenue spikesover the last month since the social distancing best practices were implemented in the U.S. and it seems like players are willing to stay engaged as long as Niantic continues giving them things they can do from their houses or neighborhoods.
