Paldean Wooper Spotlight Hour (Tuesday, January 21, 2025)

Pokémon Spotlight Hour will feature a different Pokémon and a special bonus for one hour at 6:00 p.m. local time on Tuesday during the month of January. Paldean Wooper Spotlight Hour takes place on January 21, 2025, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with 2× Catch Candy bonus.

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!

Trainers who plan to participate should be prepared with a Mega Pokémon to maximise candy gains per Pokémon caught. Here’s everything you need to know!

Mega Pokémon that boost Paldean Wooper General icon

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.

Is it worth evolving Paldean Wooper? General icon

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 StingSludge 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 TalonflameClefable, and Lickilicky, but loses to SwampertGiratina AlteredGuzzlord, 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.
