Voltorb Duo Spotlight Hour Arrives

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-Pokémon Spotlight Hour presents a fantastic opportunity to catch both variations and even snag their shiny forms.

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 and maximize your chances of encountering shiny versions. Also, ensure you have ample space in your Pokémon storage to avoid interruptions during the event.

Voltorb (#100, Kanto):

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, Voltorb packs a punch. However, remember its weaknesses: Ground-type attacks deal 160% damage. Electric, Flying, and Steel-type attacks inflict reduced damage (63%). The optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge, delivering 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO. Rainy weather boosts its attack power. A blue shiny variant exists.

Hisuian Voltorb (#100, Hisui):

Hisuian Voltorb, also #100 in the Pokédex, shares Voltorb's evolution path and reward structure (3 Candies and 100 Stardust). It also has a max CP of 1141, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense. While also Electric-type, its type matchups differ slightly. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type attacks deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type attacks inflict reduced damage (63%). Electric-type attacks deal 39% damage. The best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, yielding 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO. Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather enhance its attack. Its shiny form features a black body instead of orange.

Make the most of this double Spotlight Hour and add these powerful Pokémon to your collection!
