With two Pokémon in the spotlight, stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense to maximize your chances of catching numerous Pokémon, including those elusive Shinies. Ensure you have ample space in your Pokémon storage to avoid interruptions during the event.
Voltorb (Pokémon #100):
This Kanto region Electric-type Pokémon (#100 in the Pokédex) 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 (5.81 DPS, 40.62 TDO), significantly boosted in Rainy weather. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery!
Hisuian Voltorb (Pokémon #100):
Also #100 in the Pokédex, this Hisuian variant shares Voltorb's evolution path and candy/Stardust rewards. It also has a max CP of 1141, 111 Defense, and 109 Attack. However, its type advantages and disadvantages differ. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type attacks deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type attacks deal 63% damage. Other Electric-type attacks inflict only 39% damage. Its best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt (5.39 DPS, 37.60 TDO), enhanced in Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather.
