Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! This Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, don't miss the exciting Spotlight Hour featuring Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb! This double-Pokémon Spotlight Hour presents a fantastic opportunity to catch both versions and even snag their shiny variants.

Prepare for a Catching Spree:

Because this Spotlight Hour features two Pokémon, be sure to stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. You'll want to maximize your chances of catching both Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb, including their shiny forms. Also, clear out some space in your Pokémon storage to avoid interruptions during the event.

Voltorb (#100): A Kanto Classic

Voltorb, the Electric-type Pokémon from Generation I, offers 3 Candies and 100 Stardust upon capture. It evolves into Electrode using 50 Candies. With a max CP of 1141, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense, Voltorb packs a punch. However, remember its weaknesses: Ground-type attacks deal 160% damage. Its optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge, delivering 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO, boosted further in Rainy weather. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.

Hisuian Voltorb (#100): A Regional Variant

Hisuian Voltorb, also #100 in the Pokédex, shares Voltorb's stats (max CP 1141, 109 Attack, 111 Defense) and Candy/Stardust rewards. It evolves into Hisuian Electrode with 50 Candies. While also Electric-type, its type matchups differ. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves hit harder (160% damage), while Grass, Steel, and Water-type moves do less (63% damage), and other Electric-type attacks deal only 39% damage. Its best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, offering 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO. Weather boosts are available in Partly Cloudy and Rainy conditions. The Shiny Hisuian Voltorb boasts a black body instead of orange.

Don't miss this chance to add these powerful Pokémon (and their shiny counterparts) to your collection! Prepare your items, clear your storage, and get ready for a thrilling Spotlight Hour!
