Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

This section provides a detailed analysis of each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle utility.

Murkrow: A relatively rare spawn, Murkrow evolves into Honchkrow using 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone. While Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are strong, its defensive stats are weak, limiting its PVP effectiveness. However, it can be valuable in raids.

Slugma & Bergmite: This double feature presents a chance to acquire both Fire and Ice types. Slugma evolves into Magcargo with 50 candies, while Bergmite evolves into Avalugg, also with 50 candies. Avalugg is a strong contender in raids and GO Battle League, particularly the Master League. Slugma's battle utility is limited.

Delibird: This Spotlight Hour features a holiday-themed Delibird. While not particularly strong in battle, it's a sought-after collectible, especially the Shiny variant.

Togetic: A rarer wild spawn, Togetic evolves into Togekiss with 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Togekiss is highly valued in GO Battle League and raids due to its balanced stats. This Spotlight Hour is a prime opportunity to obtain a high-IV Togetic.

Preparation for Spotlight Hours:

To maximize your Spotlight Hour gains, ensure you have ample Poké Balls, activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense, and allocate time for post-event sorting and transferring. Utilize search commands (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to efficiently find your best catches.
