Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

This section provides 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 ideal for Candy accumulation and finding a high-IV Murkrow for evolution into Honchkrow (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). While Honchkrow's PvP performance is moderate, its strong Dark-type attacks are valuable in Raids.

Slugma & Bergmite: A dual-featured Spotlight Hour. Bergmite, a rare spawn, evolves into the Raid and GO Battle League-worthy Avalugg (50 Candy). Slugma, while less strategically important, offers a chance for Shiny hunting.

Delibird (Holiday Ribbon): A rare costumed variant, perfect for collectors seeking a Shiny. Its battle utility is limited.

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

Maximizing Your Spotlight Hour:

Prepare adequately to fully leverage each Spotlight Hour:

• Stock up on Poké Balls.
• Utilize Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense.
• Allocate extra time for sorting and transferring Pokémon after the event.
• Strategically use items to maximize bonus effects (e.g., transferring duplicates for Candy bonus).
• *Use in-game search functions (4&age0, 3&age0, 4&[Pokemon Name]) to quickly find your best catches.**
