Voltorb & Hisuian Voltorb Spotlight Hour Details
Stock up on Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense—you'll be catching twice the Pokémon this week! Ample storage space is also recommended to avoid interruptions during the hour-long event.
Voltorb (#100, Kanto Region):
This Electric-type Pokémon offers 3 candies and 100 Stardust upon capture. Evolving Voltorb into Electrode requires 50 candies. With a max CP of 1141, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense, Voltorb packs a punch. Its Electric typing makes it vulnerable to Ground-type attacks (160% damage) but resistant to Electric, Flying, and Steel types (63% damage). The optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge (5.81 DPS, 40.62 TDO), boosted in Rainy weather. A blue shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.
Hisuian Voltorb (#100, Hisui Region):
Sharing the same Pokédex number, Hisuian Voltorb also yields 3 candies and 100 Stardust per catch, evolving into Hisuian Electrode with 50 candies. It boasts identical CP, Attack, and Defense stats as Voltorb. However, its type matchups differ slightly. Hisuian Voltorb 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). The ideal moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt (5.39 DPS, 37.60 TDO), enhanced in Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather. Look out for its distinctive black shiny form!
