Maximize Your Pokémon GO December 2024 Spotlight Hours!
Pokémon GO's Spotlight Hours offer a 60-minute window each month to catch a specific Pokémon en masse. 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, Honchcrow, are Shiny-capable.
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: A relatively rare spawn, evolving into Honchkrow requires 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone. While Honchcrow's offensive capabilities are decent, its defensive stats are weak.
Slugma & Bergmite: This double feature offers a chance to catch both a Fire and Ice type. Bergmite 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 valuable for Shiny hunters. Not particularly strong in battle.
Togetic: A relatively rare wild spawn, evolving into Togekiss (100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone). Togekiss is highly valued for its performance in raids and GO Battle League. Prioritize this Spotlight Hour.
Spotlight Hour Preparation:
Stock up on Poké Balls, activate Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense. Plan ahead to maximize bonus effects (e.g., transferring duplicates before Delibird's Spotlight Hour). Utilize search commands ("4*&age0", "3*&age0", "4*&[Pokemon Name]") to quickly find your best catches.
Pokémon GO is available now. (Updated 12/9/2024)
