Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:
This section provides a closer look at each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness.
- Murkrow: Relatively rare, evolves into Honchkrow (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, but its defensive stats are weaker.

- Slugma & Bergmite: A dual feature. Bergmite (evolves into Avalugg with 50 Candy) is a relatively rare spawn; Avalugg is effective in Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma (evolves into Magcargo with 50 Candy) is less useful.

-
Delibird (Holiday): A rare, costumed variant. Primarily for collectors.
-
Togetic: Relatively rare, evolves into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss is highly valued in GO Battle League and Raids. This is a Spotlight Hour not to be missed!

Spotlight Hour Preparation:
- Stock up on Poké Balls.
- Activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense.
- Allocate time for post-event sorting and transferring.
- Utilize search commands (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to find your best catches.
Pokémon GO Spotlight Hours are prime opportunities for maximizing candy and catching high-IV Pokémon. Plan strategically to make the most of each event's bonus!
