Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

This section provides insights into each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness.

Murkrow: A relatively rare spawn, making this Spotlight Hour ideal for Candy accumulation and potential Honchkrow evolution (requires 100 Murkrow Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are noteworthy, though its defense is weaker.

Slugma & Bergmite: A dual feature offering a chance to gather both Fire and Ice-type Pokémon. Bergmite evolves into the Raid and GO Battle League-viable Avalugg (50 Candy). Slugma evolves into Macargo, but its battle utility is limited.

Delibird (Holiday Ribbon): A rare costumed variant, perfect for completing your collection. Battle effectiveness is low.

Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn. Evolves into the highly sought-after Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone), a strong contender in Raids and GO Battle League. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour.

Spotlight Hour Preparation:

• Stock up on Poké Balls.
• Utilize Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense.
• Allocate time for post-event sorting and transferring.
• Strategically use items to maximize bonus effects. (e.g., transfer duplicates before Delibird's Spotlight Hour).
• Use search commands: "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]" to find optimal catches.
