December Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

This section provides insights into each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness.

Murkrow: A relatively rare spawn, evolving into Honchkrow requires 100 Murkrow Candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Honchkrow boasts strong offense but weaker defense in PvP.

Slugma & Bergmite: This double feature presents a chance to catch both a Fire and Ice type. Bergmite evolves into Avalugg (50 Candy), a strong Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Macargo (50 Candy), less useful in battles.

Delibird (Holiday): A rare costumed variant, primarily valuable for collectors and Shiny hunters. Not particularly strong in battle.

Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn, evolving into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss excels in GO Battle League and Raids. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour!
