December 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, making this Spotlight Hour ideal for Candy accumulation and Shiny hunting. Evolution to Honchkrow requires 100 Murkrow Candy and a Sinnoh Stone. Honchkrow boasts solid offense but weaker defense in PvP.

Slugma & Bergmite: A dual-featured Spotlight Hour. Bergmite, a rare spawn, evolves into Avalugg (50 Candy), a strong Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Macargo (50 Candy), but is less useful in battles.

Delibird (Holiday): A rare costumed variant. Primarily for collectors and Shiny hunters, as it lacks significant battle utility.

Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn. Evolves into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone), a highly valued Pokémon for Raids and GO Battle League. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour for optimal Togekiss.

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 Spotlight Hour). Utilize search commands ("4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to find your best catches.
