Pokemon GO: Voltorb & Hisuian Voltorb Spotlight Hour Guide

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 even 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 both Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb and securing those shiny versions. Also, ensure you have ample space in your Pokémon storage to avoid interruptions during the event.

Voltorb (#100 - Kanto Region):

Voltorb, the Electric-type Pokémon, offers 3 candies and 100 Stardust upon capture. It evolves into Electrode using 50 candies. Boasting a max CP of 1141, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense, Voltorb packs a punch. However, remember its weaknesses: Ground-type attacks deal 160% damage. Electric, Flying, and Steel-type attacks inflict reduced damage (63%). For optimal performance, equip Voltorb with Spark and Discharge (5.81 DPS, 40.62 TDO). Rainy weather boosts its attack power. A blue shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.

Hisuian Voltorb (#100 - Hisui Region):

Sharing the same Pokédex number, Hisuian Voltorb also yields 3 candies and 100 Stardust. It evolves into Hisuian Electrode with 50 candies and boasts similar stats (1141 CP, 111 Defense, 109 Attack). While also Electric-type, its type matchups differ slightly. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type attacks deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type attacks inflict reduced damage (63%). Electric-type attacks cause 39% damage. The best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt (5.39 DPS, 37.60 TDO). Partly cloudy and rainy weather enhances its attack. Look out for the shiny black variant!
