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 finding a high-IV Murkrow for evolution into Honchkrow (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). While Honchkrow'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-worthy Avalugg (50 Candy). Slugma, while also rarer now, evolves into Macargo; its PvP/Raid value is limited.

Delibird: A holiday-themed Spotlight Hour featuring a rare costumed Delibird. Primarily for collectors and Shiny hunters, as it's not a strong battler.

Togetic: A rare wild spawn, making this Spotlight Hour valuable for obtaining Shiny Togetics and high-IV individuals to evolve into the powerful Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss excels in GO Battle League and Raids. A top priority Spotlight Hour this December.

Maximizing Spotlight Hour:

Prepare by stocking up on Poké Balls, activating Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense. Plan ahead to leverage each hour's bonus effectively (e.g., transferring duplicates for Delibird's bonus). Use search commands (4*&age0, 3*&age0, 4*&[Pokemon Name]) to quickly find your best catches.
