December 2024 Spotlight Hour Schedule:

Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

This section offers detailed analysis of each featured Pokémon, considering rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness.

Murkrow: A relatively rare spawn, Murkrow evolves into Honchkrow using 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone. While Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, its defensive stats are weak.

Slugma & Bergmite: This double feature presents a chance to acquire both Fire and Ice types. Bergmite evolves into Avalugg (50 candies), a valuable Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Macargo (50 candies), but offers less strategic value.

Delibird (Holiday): A rare costumed variant, primarily valuable for collectors and Shiny hunters. It has limited battle utility.

Togetic: A rare wild spawn, Togetic evolves into Togekiss (100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone), a highly effective Pokémon for Raids and GO Battle League. This Spotlight Hour is highly recommended.

Maximizing Spotlight Hour:

Prepare by stocking up on Poké Balls, activating Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense. Post-event, efficiently sort your catches, transferring weaker Pokémon and prioritizing high-IV individuals. Utilize search filters (e.g., "4*&age0," "3*&age0," "4*&[Pokémon Name]") to locate your best catches. Strategically plan item usage to maximize each hour's bonus.

Pokémon GO is available now.
