Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

This section provides detailed information on each featured Pokémon, including evolution requirements and battle effectiveness.

Murkrow: Relatively rare, evolving into Honchkrow requires 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, but its defensive stats are weaker.

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

Delibird (Holiday): A rare, costumed variant. Primarily for collectors, as its battle effectiveness is low.

Togetic: Relatively rare, evolving into Togekiss (100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss is highly valuable for Raids and GO Battle League. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour.

Maximizing Spotlight Hour:

• Stock up on Poké Balls.
• Utilize Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense.
• Allocate extra time for post-event sorting.
• Plan ahead to leverage bonus multipliers. Use search commands (e.g., 4\*&age0, 3\*&age0, 4\*&[Pokemon Name]) to identify top-stat Pokémon.

Pokémon GO is available now.
