Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! This Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, don't miss the Spotlight Hour featuring Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb! This double-Pokémon Spotlight Hour presents a fantastic opportunity to catch both variants and potentially snag their shiny forms.
Prepare for a Catching Spree:
With two Pokémon in the spotlight, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. Maximize your chances of catching and evolving these Pokémon, and ensure you have ample storage space in your Pokémon inventory.
Voltorb (Pokémon #100):
This Kanto region Electric-type Pokémon (#100 in the Pokédex) evolves into Electrode using 50 candies. Each catch yields 3 candies and 100 Stardust. Voltorb boasts a max CP of 1141, with 109 Attack and 111 Defense. Its optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge, delivering 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO. Rainy weather boosts its attack. Keep an eye out for its blue shiny variant!
Hisuian Voltorb (Pokémon #100):
Also #100 in the Pokédex, this Hisuian variant shares Voltorb's evolution line and rewards (3 candies and 100 Stardust per catch). It also has a max CP of 1141, with 109 Attack and 111 Defense. However, its type advantages differ. It takes increased damage from Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison types (160% damage), and reduced damage from Grass, Steel, and Water types (63%), along with other Electric types (39%). Its best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, resulting in 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO. Partly cloudy and rainy weather enhance its damage output. Its shiny form features a black body instead of orange.
Don't miss this exciting opportunity to expand your Pokédex and add these powerful Pokémon to your team!
