Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:

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

Murkrow: Relatively rare, evolving into Honchkrow requires 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, but its defense is weak.

Slugma & Bergmite: A dual feature! Bergmite, a rare spawn, evolves into Avalugg (50 candies), a strong Ice-type for Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma evolves into Macargo (50 candies), but is less useful in battles.

Delibird (Holiday): A rare costumed variant. Primarily for collection, as its battle effectiveness is low.
