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 potential Shiny hunting. Evolves into Honchkrow using 100 Candy and a Sinnoh Stone. Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are strong, but its defense is weak.

Slugma & Bergmite: A dual feature offering a chance to acquire both Fire and Ice types. Bergmite evolves into Avalugg (50 Candy), a valuable Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Magcargo (50 Candy), less useful in combat.

Delibird: A holiday-themed Spotlight Hour featuring a rare costumed Delibird. Primarily for collectors and Shiny hunters, as it lacks significant battle utility.

Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn. Evolves into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone), a highly versatile Pokémon excelling in Raids and GO Battle League. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour for optimal Togekiss acquisition.

Spotlight Hour Preparation:

Stock up on Poké Balls, activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense to maximize rewards. Plan your item usage strategically to leverage each hour's bonus. Use in-game search functions (e.g., "4*&age0," "3*&age0," "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to quickly find your best catches.
