Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

This section provides detailed insights into each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness to help you prioritize your efforts.

Murkrow: A relatively rare spawn, making this Spotlight Hour crucial for Candy accumulation and potential Shiny hunting. Evolves into Honchkrow (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). While Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, its defensive weaknesses limit its PVP utility.

Slugma & Bergmite: A dual Spotlight Hour featuring a fire and ice theme. Bergmite's rarity makes this a good opportunity to catch and evolve into Avalugg (50 Candy), a strong Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma, while evolving into Macargo (50 Candy), is less strategically valuable.

Delibird (Holiday Ribbon): A rare costumed variant, ideal for collectors seeking a Shiny. However, it lacks significant battle effectiveness.

Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn, making this Spotlight Hour valuable for Shiny hunting and securing a high-IV Togetic to evolve into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss excels in both Raids and GO Battle League. This is arguably the most valuable Spotlight Hour of the month.

Preparation for Spotlight Hours:

To maximize your Spotlight Hour gains:

• Stock up on Poké Balls.
• Activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense.
• Allocate extra time for post-event sorting and transferring.
• Strategically utilize item bonuses: For example, maximize Candy gains from transferring during Delibird's Spotlight Hour or XP from evolving during Togetic's. Use search commands (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to quickly find your best catches.
