When Is Night Time in Pokémon GO?
Last updated
Ever wondered when night time kicks in within the world of Pokémon GO? You’re not alone! Many trainers have asked this very question as they plan their Pokémon-catching adventures.
Let’s dive into when night time actually happens in Pokémon GO, making those nocturnal Pokémon hunts more predictable.
When Does Night Time Start in Pokémon GO?
Night time in Pokémon GO starts at 7:00 PM local time and lasts until 7:00 AM the next morning. This change reflects in the game’s environment, showing a darker theme to indicate it’s officially night in the Pokémon world.
This shift is crucial for catching certain Pokémon that only appear at night or for participating in special events or raids that happen after dark. So, keeping an eye on the clock can really boost your Pokémon GO experience!
Catching Nocturnal Pokémon in Pokémon GO
Why does night time matter? Well, some Pokémon prefer the cover of darkness to wander around. These nocturnal creatures, such as Hoothoot or Sableye, become more common during these hours. So, if you’re looking to add these nighttime wanderers to your Pokédex, you’ll need to adjust your hunting schedule accordingly.
Furthermore, certain game events and bonuses activate during the night, offering unique opportunities for trainers to battle, catch, and gather resources. It’s a whole different vibe, and who doesn’t love a late-night gaming session?
