December 2024 Spotlight Hour Schedule:

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, evolving into Honchkrow requires 100 Murkrow Candy and a Sinnoh Stone. While Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, its defensive stats are weaker.

Slugma & Bergmite: This double feature offers a chance to catch both a Fire and Ice type. Bergmite evolves into Avalugg (50 Candy), a strong Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Macargo (50 Candy), less useful in battles.

Delibird (Holiday): A rare costumed variant, primarily valuable for collectors and Shiny hunters. Not particularly strong in battle.

Togetic: A rare wild spawn, evolving into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss is highly valued for its performance in Raids and GO Battle League. This Spotlight Hour is highly recommended.

Spotlight Hour Preparation:

Stock up on Poké Balls, activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense to maximize rewards. Plan ahead to utilize each hour's bonus effectively (e.g., transferring duplicates before Delibird's Transfer Candy bonus). Use in-game search filters (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to quickly locate your best catches.
