Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:
This section provides a closer look at each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness.
Murkrow: A relatively rare spawn, making this Spotlight Hour ideal for Candy accumulation and evolving into Honchkrow (requires 100 Murkrow Candy + Sinnoh Stone). While Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, its defensive stats are weaker.
Slugma & Bergmite: A dual-featured hour. Bergmite, a rare spawn, evolves into Avalugg (50 Candy), a strong Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Macargo (50 Candy), but is less useful in battles.
Delibird: A rare Holiday-themed variant. Primarily for collectors and Shiny hunters, as it lacks significant battle utility.
Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn. Evolves into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone), a highly valuable Pokémon for Raids and GO Battle League. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour.
Spotlight Hour Preparation:
- Stock up on Poké Balls.
- Utilize Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense.
- Allocate time for post-event sorting and transferring.
- Strategically use items to maximize bonus effects (e.g., transferring for Candy bonus).
- Use in-game search filters (4*&age0, 3*&age0, 4*&[Pokemon Name]) to identify optimal catches.
