This Spotlight Hour is the third January 2025 Pokémon spotlight, and it is especially interesting as the featured Pokémon can be shiny, and you will get 2x Candy on catch! In other words, this is a great time to farm those Candies!

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Paldean Wooper if they are Mega/Primal evolved.
A Note on Mega Catch Bonus
While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.
PVE
Clodsire is a Poison and Ground type Pokémon with a max CP of 2207. It is not useful for PvE, even with its best moveset of Mud Shot and Sludge Bomb.
⚔️ Raids
There are a huge number of Ground types that are much better to use than Clodsire, and Poison types don’t have much usage in the raid meta.
🛡️ Gyms
Clodsire makes for a beefy gym defender thanks to its whopping 277 Stamina stat!
PVP
Clodsire’s best moveset for PvP is Poison Sting, Sludge Bomb, and Earthquake. It is one of the absolute top-tier Pokémon for PvP, and well worth investing in.
🔵 Great League
Clodsire is as good as it gets in Great League! It is extremely bulky, as well as having access to spammy moves, making it truly deadly.
🟡 Ultra League
Clodsire is on the small side for Ultra League, so it requires a perfect IV and maxed-out XL Candy, making it a costly investment. It picks up wins over Talonflame, Clefable, and Lickilicky, but loses to Swampert, Giratina Altered, Guzzlord, and more.
🟣 Master League
Clodsire might be a star of Great League, but it just doesn’t get big enough to compete in Master League.
