Full List of Pokémon GO Spotlight Hours in December 2024
Here are the featured Pokémon and corresponding bonuses for December 2024.
December 3 - Sableye with 2x Catch Stardust
The initial Spotlight Hour in December 2024 is an excellent beginning. Sableye is an ideal choice for a Spotlight Hour. It has a useful Mega Evolution, an appealing shiny form, and a base catch Stardust level of 750. With the 2x Catch Stardust bonus during the Spotlight Hour, each catch yields a whopping 1500 Stardust. If a Star Piece is used, it can reach 2250 per catch. However, Sableye has a relatively low catch rate. Trainers will likely require a sufficient supply of Razz Berries and Ultra Balls to maximize the Stardust collection.
December 10 - Murkrow with 2x Catch XP
The Spotlight Hour on December 10 features Murkrow. This is another great opportunity in Pokémon GO. Murkrow evolves into Honchkrow, which is a cost-effective Flying-type attacker. Murkrow also has a shiny variant in the game and a relatively consistent catch circle. This facilitates achieving Excellent Throws and maximizing XP gain. It is the top choice for leveling up in Pokémon GO during December 2024.
December 17 - Slugma and Bergmite with 2x Catch Candy
The next Spotlight Hour in December 2024 is less thrilling compared to the previous two. Neither Slugma nor Bergmite are particularly exciting Pokémon. The 2x Catch Candy bonus is beneficial if you haven't encountered many of these Pokémon before, but otherwise, it's not overly remarkable. However, it's worth noting that Avalugg, which evolves from Bergmite, is a decent Gym Defender. In certain situations, it can also serve as a viable Ice-type Raid Attacker, although it is overshadowed by Pokémon like Glaceon, Weavile, and Galarian Darmanitan.
December 24 - Delibird with a Holiday Ribbon and 2x Transfer Candy
On Christmas Eve, a festive-themed Spotlight Hour awaits. We get to encounter Delibird with a special Holiday Ribbon. Importantly, this costumed Pokémon can be shiny. Although the shiny odds aren't increased, it's still the prime opportunity to find a shiny version of this particular costumed Pokémon. Additionally, the 2x Transfer Candy bonus is highly advantageous in Pokémon GO. It offers trainers an excellent chance to clear out their storage. Notably, trainers can transfer Legendary Pokémon during this Spotlight Hour to obtain additional Candy.
December 31 - Togetic with 2x Evolution XP
To conclude the December 2024 and the year's Spotlight Hours in Pokémon GO, we have a Togetic Spotlight Hour. Similar to the start of the month, it's a great opportunity to accumulate Stardust. Even without a boosted Stardust bonus, Togetic offers 300 Stardust per catch. With a Star Piece, it can be 450, which is still more than double the Stardust of most other Pokémon. Moreover, Togekiss is an excellent budget Pokémon for both Raids and PvP. Togetic also has a shiny form.
