Pokemon GO: Voltorb & Hisuian Voltorb Spotlight Hour Guide

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 and potentially snag shiny versions of both Pokémon.

Prepare for a Catching Spree:

With two Pokémon in the spotlight, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense. You'll be catching double the usual amount, so ample storage space is also crucial.

Voltorb (#100, Kanto):

Voltorb, the Electric-type Pokémon, offers 3 Candies and 100 Stardust upon capture. It evolves into Electrode using 50 Candies. Boasting a max CP of 1141, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense, it packs a punch. However, 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. 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. Evolution to Hisuian Electrode requires 50 Candies. It mirrors Voltorb's stats (1141 CP, 111 Defense, 109 Attack). While also Electric-type, its type matchups differ. It takes increased damage from Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison types (160% damage), while resisting Grass, Steel, and Water types (63% damage), and other Electric types (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 its distinctive black Shiny variant.
