December Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:
This section provides insights into 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 decent, its defensive stats are weaker.
Slugma & Bergmite: This double feature offers a chance to catch both a Fire and Ice type. Bergmite evolves into Avalugg (50 candies), a strong Ice-type for raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Macargo (50 candies), but is less useful in battles.
Delibird (Holiday): A rare costumed variant, primarily valuable for Shiny hunters. Not particularly strong in battle.
Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn, evolving into Togekiss (100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss is highly valued for GO Battle League and Raids. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour!
Spotlight Hour Preparation:
Stock up on Poké Balls, activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense. Plan to sort and transfer Pokémon after the event. Utilize search commands (e.g., "4*&age0," "3*&age0," "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to find your best catches.
Pokémon GO is available now.
