Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

This section provides a strategic overview of each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness.

Murkrow: A relatively rare spawn, making this Spotlight Hour ideal for Candy accumulation and potential Honchcrow evolution (requires 100 Murkrow Candy + Sinnoh Stone). While Honchcrow's offensive capabilities are decent, its defensive stats are weaker.

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

Delibird: A holiday-themed event featuring a rare costumed variant. Primarily valuable for Shiny hunting, as its battle effectiveness is limited.

Togetic: A rare wild spawn, making this Spotlight Hour crucial for Shiny hunting and securing a high-IV Togetic for evolution into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss is highly valued in GO Battle League and Raids.

Spotlight Hour Preparation:

Stock up on Poké Balls, activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense. Plan ahead to maximize bonus effects (e.g., transferring duplicates before Delibird's event). Use search commands (4*&age0, 3*&age0, 4*&[Pokémon Name]) to find optimal catches.
