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 candies and a Sinnoh Stone. While Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are strong, its defensive stats are weaker.

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

Delibird (Holiday): A rare, costumed variant, ideal for Shiny hunting. However, it lacks significant battle utility.

Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn, Togetic evolves into Togekiss using 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Togekiss is highly valued in GO Battle League and Raids. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour!

Spotlight Hour Preparation:

• Stock up on Poké Balls: You'll need plenty!
• Utilize Buffs: Activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense.
• Allocate Extra Time: Post-event sorting and transferring is crucial.
• Maximize Bonuses: Plan ahead to optimize each hour's bonus (e.g., transferring duplicates before Delibird's event).
• Use Search Commands: Find your best catches using search filters like "4*&age0" (perfect IV Pokémon from the past day) and "3*&age0" (near-perfect IV Pokémon from the past day).
