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:

Because this Spotlight Hour features two Pokémon, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. Maximize your chances of catching both Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb, including their shiny counterparts, and ensure you have ample storage space in your Pokémon inventory.

Voltorb (#100, Kanto Region):

Voltorb, the Electric-type Pokémon, 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, it's a valuable addition to your team. Remember, Voltorb is weak against Ground-type attacks (160% damage) and resists Electric, Flying, and Steel-type attacks (63% damage). The optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge, delivering 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO. Rainy weather boosts its attack. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.

Hisuian Voltorb (#100, Hisui Region):

Sharing the same Pokédex number as Voltorb, Hisuian Voltorb also yields 3 Candies and 100 Stardust per catch and evolves into Hisuian Electrode with 50 Candies. Statistically identical to Voltorb (1141 CP, 111 Defense, 109 Attack), its type advantage and disadvantages differ. Hisuian Voltorb takes increased damage from Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves (160% damage) but resists Grass, Steel, and Water-type attacks (63% damage), along with other Electric-type moves (39% damage). Its best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, providing 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO. Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather enhance its damage output. Look for the shiny variant with its distinctive black body.

Don't miss this exciting opportunity to expand your Pokédex and strengthen your team! Happy hunting!
