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, evolving it into Honchkrow requires 100 Murkrow Candy and a Sinnoh Stone. While Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, its defense is weak.

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

Delibird: A rare costumed variant, primarily valuable for collectors and Shiny hunters. Not particularly strong in battle.

Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn, evolving into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone) yields a powerful Pokémon for Raids and GO Battle League. Highly recommended 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., transferring duplicates before Delibird's Spotlight Hour).
• Use in-game search commands (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to find your best catches.

Pokémon GO is available now.
