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 Shiny hunting. Evolves into Honchkrow using 100 Murkrow Candy and a Sinnoh Stone. While offensively strong, Honchcrow's defensive weaknesses limit its PvP viability.

Slugma & Bergmite: A dual-featured 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 strategically valuable.

Delibird: Features a holiday-themed variant. Primarily valuable for Shiny collectors, as its battle effectiveness is limited.

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

Spotlight Hour Preparation:

Stock up on Poké Balls, activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense. Plan for post-event sorting and utilize search commands (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to identify high-IV Pokémon. Strategically use items to maximize each hour's bonus (e.g., transferring duplicates before Delibird's event).
