Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:
This section provides detailed information on each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness to help you prioritize your efforts.
Murkrow: Relatively rare, evolves into Honchkrow (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are strong, making it useful in Raids.
Slugma & Bergmite: A dual Spotlight Hour. Bergmite (rare spawn) evolves into Avalugg (50 Candy), a strong Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma (increasingly rare) evolves into Macargo (50 Candy), less useful in battles.
Delibird (Holiday): A rare costumed variant. Primarily for collectors, as its battle effectiveness is low.
Togetic: Relatively rare wild spawn. Evolves into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone), a highly valuable Pokémon for Raids and GO Battle League. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour!
