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 feature event offers a fantastic opportunity to catch both these Pokémon and potentially snag their shiny variants.
Prepare for a Catching Spree:
With two Pokémon in the spotlight, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. Maximize your chances of catching both and increasing your shiny odds. Also, ensure you have ample space in your Pokémon storage to avoid interruptions during the event.
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 power. Keep an eye out for its blue shiny form!
Hisuian Voltorb (Pokémon #100):
Also a Kanto region Electric-type, Hisuian Voltorb (#100) shares Voltorb's evolution line and candy/Stardust rewards. It also has a max CP of 1141, with 111 Defense and 109 Attack. However, its type matchups differ slightly. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type attacks deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type attacks inflict 63% damage. Other Electric-type Pokémon deal 39% damage. Its best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, providing 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO. Partly cloudy and rainy weather enhance its damage output. Spot the shiny variant with its distinctive black body!
