Pkémon Go’s January 2023 Featured Pokémon will be Alola Sandshrew, but can it come out shiny? What bonuses will we have available? Here is everything we need to know about it.
The first time we had the featured Pokémon in Pokémon Go It was in 2020 and since then it is one of the most recurring events of the mobile game. For the first celebration of January we will be able to capture the ice/steel type Alola Sandshrew.
Although Alola Sandshrew may not be the strongest addition to our team, he can certainly bring us joy in the Grand League. So we will have to prepare ourselves and stock up on candies to get all the potential out of it.

In this way, every Tuesday of each month 60 minutes are dedicated to a single Pokémon. During this time slot, the Pokémon will appear exponentially to give us more opportunities to get it.
January 2023 Featured Pokémon Start Date and Time: Alola Sandshrew
On Tuesday, January 3, 2023, the Pokemon Go Featured Pokemon will take place with Sandshrew from Alola.
The event will start at 18:00 and last until 19:00 (local time). That is, no matter where you are from, the event will start at that time.
Preparations for the Featured Pokémon in Pokémon Go
Preparing for this Featured Pokémon is essential because we have a time limit. For this reason, it is better to have a preparation already made so that, when we start, we go for a done shot:

- Use your Pokécoins to buy Incense to use during the hour.
- Leave room in your Pokémon Storage Box for all the Alolan Sandshrew you catch.
- Take many Pokéballs with you to be able to catch more Pokémon
- Collect Pokémon Candy to evolve Alola Sandshrew during Pokémon Spotlight hour.

This x2 XP bonus when evolving applies to any Pokemon, not just Alolan Sandshrew, so it’s a good idea to sort through your Pokemon Collection inventory and check off any Pokemon you want to evolve.
We always recommend using an XP-boosting Lucky Egg during Pokémon Spotlight time.
Ready to capture Shandshrew from Alola?
Can Alolan Sandshrew spawn Shiny?
Yes, Alolan Sandshrew can spawn Shiny as well as its evolution! Remember that Shiny Pokémon are incredibly hard to find, but there may be no better time to get one than during this event.
The article continues after the announcement.
Can it evolve in Pokémon Go?
Alolan Sandshrew can evolve into Alolan Sandslash with 50 Candy. There are no special items or companion tasks required for this evolution process.
It shouldn’t take long to accumulate enough candy, especially during the event, but if you need help, be sure to use berries when capturing to earn extra candy.
Remember that you can also transfer any pokémon of the same type that we don’t need to get extra candies, but check its stats first by doing an appraisal to make sure you don’t transfer a good one.
