Pokemon GO: Murkrow Spotlight Hour Guide

Pokemon GO: Murkrow Spotlight Hour Guide

As a seasoned Pokemon GO player with years of catching ’em all under my belt, I must say that the Spotlight Hours have always been a highlight for me. They offer a unique opportunity to catch rare and powerful Pokemon, and this week’s event is no exception. The focus on Murkrow, a fan-favorite from the Johto region, has got me all nostalgic.

Pokemon GO regularly organizes events on a monthly basis, along with weekly ones such as Max Mondays and Spotlight Hours. During these events, a particular or even two special Pokémons are featured, providing players with unique rewards and opportunities to catch powerful and exceptional Pokémons throughout the event day.

For the upcoming week, the second Spotlight Hour of December is taking place. Most of the Pokémon featured this month are either seasonal or those typically spotted during the holiday period. This guide offers all the essential information for the Spotlight Hour in Pokémon GO this week.

Pokemon GO: Murkrow Spotlight Hour Guide

On December 10th, 2024, from 6:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. (local time), players will have an opportunity to capture Murkrow as the featured Pokemon of the week. During this special hour, players can also anticipate a double catch XP bonus, meaning they’ll earn twice the usual amount of experience points after catching any Pokemon during that timeframe.

Among players, Murkrow is often a highly preferred Pokémon. In the Pokedex, it holds the number #0198 and hails from Generation 2 of the Johto region. This particular Pokémon belongs to both the Dark and Flying types. Currently, it boasts a Combat Power (CP) of 1,766, and there’s a shimmering version of it that can be captured by keen trainers.

Players can evolve Murkrow into Honchkrow for 100 candies and a Sinnoh Stone, which is a special Item. Catching this Pokemon gives the player three candies and 100 Stardust.

Additional Moves will cost the player 50 candies and 50,000 Stardust.

To ensure players are fully prepared for this Spotlight Hour event, it’s recommended that they gather essential items such as PokeBalls and Berries (if available). Additionally, players should consider clearing or expanding their Pokemon Storage to accommodate the increased catch potential. Having incense at the ready will further enhance their chances of encountering Murkrow during this hour. Keep in mind that a Shiny Murkrow appears as purple instead of its original dark blue form, and having these items on hand could help players catch multiple Murkrows, perhaps even a rare shiny one!
