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 offers 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 and evolving these electrifying Pokémon, and ensure you have ample space in your Pokémon storage.

Voltorb (Pokémon #100):

A Kanto region Electric-type Pokémon, Voltorb evolves into Electrode using 50 candies. Each catch yields 3 candies and 100 Stardust. Voltorb boasts a max CP of 1141, with 109 Attack and 111 Defense. Its optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge, delivering 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO. Rainy weather boosts its attack. Keep an eye out for its blue shiny variant!

Hisuian Voltorb (Pokémon #100):

Also a Kanto region Pokémon (and also #100!), Hisuian Voltorb evolves into Hisuian Electrode with 50 candies, rewarding 3 candies and 100 Stardust per catch. It shares Voltorb's max CP of 1141, Attack and Defense stats. However, its type advantages differ. It takes increased damage from Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves (160% damage), while resisting Grass, Steel, and Water-type moves (63% damage), and 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 conditions enhance its damage output. Look for its black shiny form!
