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 decent, its defense is weak.

Slugma & Bergmite: This double feature offers a chance to catch both a Fire and Ice type. Bergmite evolves into Avalugg (50 candies), a solid Ice-type for raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Macargo (50 candies), which is less useful in battles.

Delibird (Holiday): A rare costumed variant, primarily valuable for Shiny hunting. Its battle effectiveness is limited.

Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn, Togetic evolves into Togekiss (100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone), a strong Pokémon for raids and GO Battle League. Prioritizing this Spotlight Hour is recommended.

Maximizing Spotlight Hour:

Prepare by stocking up on Poké Balls, activating Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense. Plan ahead to leverage each hour's bonus (e.g., transferring duplicates before Delibird's event). Use search commands (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokémon Name]") to find your best catches.
