Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! This Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, prepare for a double dose of electrifying fun during the Spotlight Hour featuring Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb!
This Spotlight Hour presents a fantastic opportunity to catch both Voltorb and its Hisuian counterpart, even snagging their shiny variants. Because we're dealing with two Pokémon, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense – you'll be catching twice the Pokémon! Also, ensure you have ample storage space; you won't want to interrupt your catching spree to transfer Pokémon.
Voltorb (#100, Kanto Region):
This Electric-type Pokémon offers 3 Candies and 100 Stardust upon capture. Evolving Voltorb into Electrode requires 50 Candies. With a max CP of 1141, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense, it packs a punch. However, remember its weaknesses: Ground-type attacks deal 160% damage. Electric, Flying, and Steel-type attacks do reduced damage (63%). The optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge, delivering 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO. Rainy weather boosts its attack power. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.
Hisuian Voltorb (#100, Kanto Region):
Sharing the same Pokédex number as Voltorb, Hisuian Voltorb also yields 3 Candies and 100 Stardust per catch. Evolution into Hisuian Electrode also costs 50 Candies. Statistically identical to Voltorb (1141 CP, 111 Defense, 109 Attack), its type matchups differ. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type attacks inflict 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type attacks deal reduced damage (63%). Other Electric-type attacks do 39% damage. Its best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, resulting in 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 electrifying Spotlight Hour! Prepare your supplies and get ready to catch 'em all!
