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, Murkrow evolves into Honchkrow using 100 Candy and a Sinnoh Stone. While Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, its defensive stats are weak.

Slugma & Bergmite: This double feature offers a chance to catch both a Fire-type (Slugma, evolving into Magcargo with 50 Candy) and an Ice-type (Bergmite, evolving into Avalugg with 50 Candy). Avalugg is a valuable Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League.

Delibird: This Spotlight Hour features a holiday-themed Delibird. While not particularly strong in battle, it's a sought-after collectible.

Togetic: Togetic, evolving into Togekiss with 100 Candy and a Sinnoh Stone, is a highly desirable Pokémon for both Raids and GO Battle League. This Spotlight Hour presents a prime opportunity to acquire a high-IV Togetic.

Maximizing Spotlight Hour:

To optimize your Spotlight Hour experience, prepare by stocking up on Poké Balls, activating Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense. Plan ahead to leverage each event's bonus effectively. Use search filters (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to quickly identify high-IV Pokémon.
