Voltorb and Hisuian Voltorb Featured in Spotlight!

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-feature event offers a fantastic opportunity to catch both versions and even 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, ensure you have ample space in your Pokémon storage to avoid interruptions during the hour.

Voltorb (Kanto #100):

This Kanto region Electric-type Pokémon (#100 in the Pokédex) evolves into Electrode using 50 candies. Each catch rewards you with 3 candies and 100 Stardust. Voltorb boasts a max CP of 1141, with 109 Attack and 111 Defense. It's 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, boosted in Rainy weather. A blue shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.

Hisuian Voltorb (Kanto #100):

Sharing the same Pokédex number as its Kanto counterpart, Hisuian Voltorb also evolves into Hisuian Electrode with 50 candies, offering the same catch rewards of 3 candies and 100 Stardust. Its stats mirror Voltorb's (1141 CP, 111 Defense, 109 Attack). However, its type matchups differ. It takes increased damage from Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves (160% damage), while resisting Grass, Steel, and Water-type attacks (63% damage) and other Electric-type moves (39% damage). The best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, providing 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO, with weather boosts in Partly Cloudy and Rainy conditions. Look out for its black shiny form!
