Get ready for a double dose of Voltorb in the next Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour! This Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, from 6 PM to 7 PM local time, both Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb will be featured. This presents a fantastic opportunity to catch both and potentially snag their shiny variants.
Prepare for a Catching Spree:
With two Pokémon in the spotlight, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. Maximize your chances of catching both and increasing your odds of finding a shiny. Also, clear some space in your Pokémon storage – you'll be catching a lot!
Voltorb (#100, Kanto):
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 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. A blue shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.
Hisuian Voltorb (#100, Hisui):
Sharing the same Pokédex number, Hisuian Voltorb also yields 3 Candies and 100 Stardust. It evolves into Hisuian Electrode with 50 Candies, and boasts the same 1141 max CP, 111 Defense, and 109 Attack as its Kanto counterpart. While also Electric-type, its type matchups differ. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type attacks inflict 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type attacks do reduced damage (63%), and 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 double Spotlight Hour opportunity to expand your Pokédex and add shiny Voltorbs to your collection!
