Maximize Your Pokémon GO December 2024 Spotlight Hours!
Pokémon GO's Spotlight Hours offer a 60-minute window of increased wild spawns for a specific Pokémon. This guide details December 2024's Spotlight Hours, including dates, featured Pokémon, bonuses, and shininess potential.
Upcoming Spotlight Hour:
The next Spotlight Hour is Tuesday, December 10th, from 6-7 PM local time, featuring Murkrow and double Catch XP. Murkrow (and its evolution, Honchkrow) can be Shiny.
December 2024 Spotlight Hour Schedule:
| Pokémon | Date & Time | Event Bonus | Shiny? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sableye | December 3, 6-7 PM | 2x Catch Stardust | Yes |
| Murkrow | December 10, 6-7 PM | 2x Catch XP | Yes |
| Slugma & Bergmite | December 17, 6-7 PM | 2x Catch Candy | Yes |
| Delibird (Holiday) | December 24, 6-7 PM | 2x Transfer Candy | Yes |
| Togetic | December 31, 6-7 PM | 2x Evolution XP | Yes |
Spotlight Hour Deep Dive:
This section provides a closer look at each Pokémon's rarity, evolution requirements, and battle effectiveness.
- Murkrow: Relatively rare, evolves into Honchkrow (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Honchkrow's offensive capabilities are decent, but its defensive stats are weaker.
- Slugma & Bergmite: A dual feature. Bergmite (evolves into Avalugg with 50 Candy) is a relatively rare spawn; Avalugg is effective in Raids and GO Battle League. Slugma (evolves into Magcargo with 50 Candy) is less useful.
-
Delibird (Holiday): A rare, costumed variant. Primarily for collectors.
-
Togetic: Relatively rare, evolves into Togekiss (100 Candy + Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss is highly valued in GO Battle League and Raids. This is a Spotlight Hour not to be missed!
Spotlight Hour Preparation:
- Stock up on Poké Balls.
- Activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense.
- Allocate time for post-event sorting and transferring.
- Utilize search commands (e.g., "4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to find your best catches.
Pokémon GO Spotlight Hours are prime opportunities for maximizing candy and catching high-IV Pokémon. Plan strategically to make the most of each event's bonus!
