Paras Featured Time : Date and Bonus
Trainers will be able to enjoy the Paras Highlight Hour in Pokémon GO this coming August 8 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (local time). During those 60 minutes you will notice a significant increase in the number of Paras you will find on the map .
The Paras Featured Hour Bonus is Double Stardust per Capture. Make sure to use Berries and catch as many Pokémon as you can during the course of the event to take advantage of the Bonus. Even if you don’t care about Paras as Pokémon.
Paras in Pokémon GO: Can it be Shiny?
Not all Pokémon in Featured Hours are always Shiny, so it doesn’t hurt to be informed. The good news is that you won’t have to worry about it with Paras in Pokémon GO , since its Shiny variant will be available.
It will be possible to find Paras Shiny as a wild Pokémon. In this variant the Pokémon acquires a brighter color, although the biggest difference is seen in Parasect Shiny, its evolution. You will need only 50 Candies if you want to evolve it and get a yellowish Parasect with an orange shell.
Although the chance of finding a Shiny in Pokémon GO is only 0.2% (1 in 500), you have better chances during Featured Hours. This is because Paras will appear much more frequently , including Shiny Paras. If you keep catching Pokémon, you might come across a special variant.

Tips for Para Highlight Time in Pokémon GO
To get the most out of Paras Spotlight Time in Pokémon GO , it’s best to make a series of preparations beforehand.
Make sure first of all that you have enough PokéBall to focus on capturing as many Paras as you find . The capture process is the same as always, but you can help yourself by using Berries to increase your chances, or simply to multiply the Candies so you can evolve it. Below you can find our guide to make better use of Berries in Pokémon GO .
A good strategy is to save Incense for the event, since its effects will be multiplied with the large number of Pokémon appearing around. It is also a good time to increase the experience gained from all those catches using Lucky Eggs.
A last (but no less important) tip is to make sure you have space available in your storage. Featured Para Time in Pokémon GO will have you catching non-stop, and your storage can fill up pretty quickly.
If you’re going to stop capturing Paras in the middle of the event, don’t let it be because you ran out of space.
Follow all these tips and make sure you are taking advantage of the Exclusive Bonus, and you will see that it is much more worth participating in the Para Highlight Hour in Pokémon GO . Not only because of the Pokémon itself and its Shiny variant, but because of the amount of additional Candy you can get.
