Voltorb Spotlight Hour Details Revealed for Pokémon GO

Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! This Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, don't miss the Spotlight Hour featuring Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb! This double-feature event offers a fantastic opportunity to catch both versions and even snag their shiny counterparts.

Prepare for a Catching Spree:

With two Pokémon in the spotlight, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. You'll want to be prepared for a high volume of catches to maximize your chances of finding shinies and ensuring you have enough storage space.

Voltorb (#100, Kanto Region):

Voltorb, the Electric-type Pokémon, offers 3 candies and 100 Stardust upon capture. It evolves into Electrode using 50 candies. Boasting a max CP of 1141, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense, it packs a punch. However, remember its weaknesses: Ground-type moves deal 160% damage. Electric, Flying, and Steel-type moves inflict reduced damage (63%). For optimal performance, use Spark and Discharge (5.81 DPS, 40.62 TDO). Rainy weather boosts its attack. A blue shiny Voltorb awaits!

Hisuian Voltorb (#100, Hisui Region):

Sharing the same Pokédex number, Hisuian Voltorb also yields 3 candies and 100 Stardust. Evolution into Hisuian Electrode requires 50 candies. Its stats mirror Voltorb's (1141 CP, 111 Defense, 109 Attack). While also Electric-type, its type matchups differ slightly. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type moves inflict reduced damage (63%), and other Electric-type moves cause only 39% damage. The best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt (5.39 DPS, 37.60 TDO). Partly cloudy and rainy weather enhance its damage output. Look for the shiny variant with its distinctive black body.

Make the most of this double Spotlight Hour! Prepare your inventory, clear your storage, and get ready to catch 'em all!
