Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:
This section provides insights into each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness.
Murkrow: A relatively rare spawn, making this Spotlight Hour ideal for candy accumulation and potential Honchcrow evolution (requires 100 Murkrow Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Honchcrow's offensive capabilities are valuable in Raids.
Slugma & Bergmite: A dual feature offering a chance to acquire both. Bergmite, a rare spawn, evolves into the Raid and GO Battle League-viable Avalugg (50 Candy). Slugma evolves into Macargo, primarily useful for completing the Pokédex.
Delibird (Holiday): A rare costumed variant, perfect for Shiny hunting. Limited battle utility.
Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn, evolving into the highly sought-after Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Excellent for GO Battle League and Raids. Prioritize this 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., transfer duplicates before Delibird's event).
- Use in-game search:

,3*&age0
,4*&[Pokemon Name]
to find high-IV Pokémon.
