December 2024 Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

This section provides a detailed breakdown of each Pokémon's rarity, evolution, and battle effectiveness.

• Murkrow: Relatively rare, evolves into Honchkrow (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Honchkrow has solid offense but weaker defense in PvP.

• Slugma & Bergmite: Double feature. Bergmite is a rare spawn, evolving into Avalugg (50 Candy), useful in Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Macargo (50 Candy), less useful in battles.

• Delibird (Holiday Ribbon): A rare costumed variant, primarily for collectors. Limited battle use.

• Togetic: Relatively rare, evolves into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss is highly valued in GO Battle League and Raids.

Maximizing Spotlight Hour:

To maximize your Spotlight Hour experience, prepare by stocking up on Poké Balls, activating Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense. Plan ahead to utilize the event bonuses effectively (e.g., transferring Pokémon for candy bonuses). Use in-game search commands ("4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to find your best catches.
