Prepare for a Catching Spree:
With two Pokémon in the spotlight, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. Maximize your chances of catching and evolving these electrifying creatures. Also, ensure you have ample space in your Pokémon storage to avoid interruptions during the event.
Voltorb (#100): A Kanto Classic
Voltorb, the Kanto 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 moves deal 160% damage. Electric, Flying, and Steel-type moves inflict only 63% damage. For optimal performance, equip it with Spark and Discharge for 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO. Rainy weather boosts its attack power. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery!
Hisuian Voltorb (#100): A Hisuian Twist
Hisuian Voltorb, also #100 in the Pokédex, shares Voltorb's stats (max CP 1141, 109 Attack, 111 Defense) and evolution requirements (50 Candies for Hisuian Electrode). It also yields 3 Candies and 100 Stardust on capture. While also Electric-type, its type matchups differ. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type moves inflict only 63% damage. Other Electric-type moves cause 39% damage. The ideal moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, delivering 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO. Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather enhance its damage output. Look for the black Shiny Hisuian Voltorb!
Don't miss this electrifying Spotlight Hour! Get ready to catch 'em all!
