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 crucial for Candy accumulation and finding a high-IV Murkrow for evolution into Honchkrow (requires 100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). While Honchcrow's offensive capabilities are decent, its defensive stats are weaker.

Slugma & Bergmite: A double feature! Bergmite, a rare spawn, evolves into the Raid and GO Battle League-viable Avalugg (50 Candy). Slugma, while less useful in battles, is also less common now.

Delibird (Holiday Ribbon): A rare costumed variant, ideal for completing your collection. Not a strong battler.

Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn, evolving into the highly sought-after Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss excels in GO Battle League and Raids. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour!

Spotlight Hour Preparation:

  • Stock up on Poké Balls.
  • Utilize Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense.
  • Allocate extra time for sorting and transferring Pokémon.
  • Plan ahead to maximize bonuses: For example, save duplicate Pokémon before Delibird's Spotlight Hour to maximize Candy gains from the transfer bonus. Similarly, prepare Pokémon for evolution before Togetic's Spotlight Hour to leverage the Evolution XP bonus. Use search filters (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to quickly locate your best catches.
