XGC’s Reminder System!

Xieon’s Gaming Corner (XGC) offers Spotlight Hour and Raid Hour reminders for Pokémon Go players in our Discord server (ID: 829181609156411463). Use our bot commands to get DMs for these weekly events so you never miss out!

What is Spotlight Hour?

Spotlight Hour is a weekly Pokémon Go event every Tuesday from 6 PM to 7 PM in your local timezone, featuring a specific Pokémon with increased spawns and sometimes a bonus (e.g., double XP). Our bot sends a DM at 5 PM local time: “Spotlight Hour begins in one hour at 6 PM!”

What is Raid Hour?

Raid Hour is a weekly Pokémon Go event every Wednesday from 6 PM to 7 PM in your local timezone, featuring increased raids with powerful Pokémon (often legendaries). Our bot sends a DM at 5 PM local time: “Raid Hour begins in one hour at 6 PM!”

Timezone Tips

  • Use a valid timezone name (e.g., US/Pacific, Asia/Tokyo) or UTC offset (e.g., UTC+5:30, UTC-8:00).
  • If you get an “Invalid timezone” error, try a different format or check valid timezones at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones].
  • Re-register with the correct timezone if reminders arrive at the wrong time.

Notes

  • Ensure your Discord DMs are open (Server Privacy Settings > Allow direct messages from server members) to receive reminders.
  • Reminders are sent once per week per event to avoid spam.
  • For more details on our bot, see our [Terms of Service]([link to wiki/bot-tos]) and [Privacy Policy]([link to wiki/bot-privacy]).

Happy raiding and catching with XGC!
