Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! This Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, don't miss the Spotlight Hour featuring Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb! This double-Pokémon Spotlight Hour presents a fantastic opportunity to catch both variations and even snag their shiny forms.

Prepare for a Catching Spree:

With two Pokémon in the spotlight, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. Maximize your chances of catching and evolving these electrifying Pokémon, and ensure you have ample space in your Pokémon storage to avoid interruptions during the event.

Voltorb (#100 - Kanto Region):

Voltorb, the Electric-type Pokémon, offers 3 Candies and 100 Stardust upon capture. It evolves into Electrode using 50 Candies. Boasting a max CP of 1141, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense, Voltorb packs a punch. However, remember its weaknesses: Ground-type moves inflict 160% damage. Electric, Flying, and Steel-type moves deal reduced damage (63%). For optimal performance, equip Voltorb with Spark and Discharge (5.81 DPS, 40.62 TDO). Rainy weather boosts its attack. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery!

Hisuian Voltorb (#100 - Hisui Region):

Hisuian Voltorb, also #100 in the Pokédex, shares Voltorb's evolution line and rewards (3 Candies and 100 Stardust). Its stats mirror Voltorb's (1141 CP, 111 Defense, 109 Attack). While also Electric-type, its type matchups differ slightly. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type moves inflict reduced damage (63%). Electric-type moves cause only 39% damage. The ideal moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt (5.39 DPS, 37.60 TDO). Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather enhance its attack. Look out for the black Shiny Hisuian Voltorb!
