Morelull Spotlight Hour (June 2024): Last Minute Guide

Morelull

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 June. Morelull Spotlight Hour takes place on June 25th, 2024, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with a bonus of 2x Stardust for catching Pokémon and is arguably the best stardust event in the June 2024 schedule.

This Spotlight Hour is the final June 2024 Pokémon spotlight, and it is especially interesting as Morelull can be shiny AND it grants bonus stardust on each catch!

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!

Bonuses

  • Stardust icon You will get 2x Stardust for catching Pokémon
  • Shiny icon Shiny Morelull and its evolution is available in Pokémon GO

Note on Stardust Bonus

Morelull is excitingly one of the rare Pokémon that give extra Stardust on catch, there is a base rate of a whopping 500 Stardust per catch which increases with weather-boost and a Star Piece.

Here’s how much Stardust you can get during Morelull Spotlight Hour in June 2024, thanks to the 2x Stardust bonus:

Type of catch Stardust
Regular catch 1000
Weather boosted catch 1250
Regular catch with Star Piece 1500
Weather boosted catch with Star Piece 1875

The best possible scenario you can have is to catch a weather boosted ‘mon with an active Star Piece. As Morelull is a dual GrassFairy-type they are boosted by Sunny and Cloudy weather. 

To maximise Stardust caught you’ll likely want to use Great Balls to ensure the catch and use a quick catch technique. Otherwise, you could be spending too much time attempting to catch, rather than just catching.

We believe that the baseline for calculating potential Stardust during this hour should be 60 ‘mon. You should be able to get 60 Pokémon during one hour, regardless of if you are using the Fast catch trick, or just catching slowly.

Here’s how much Stardust you should be able to earn during the Spotlight Hour:

Star Piece active Weather is Sunny or Cloudy Stardust
❌ No ❌ No 60,000
❌ No  ✅ Yes 75,000
✅ Yes ❌ No 90,000
✅ Yes ✅ Yes 112,560
  • 60,000 Stardust is your minimal Stardust goal. This means you caught 60 Pokémon, but there was no weather boost and you did not activate a Star Piece.
  • 75,000 Stardust is your minimal goal if the in-game weather is Rainy.
  • 90,000 Stardust is the minimal amount you are looking for with a Star Piece activated. This should be easy to get if you activate two Star Pieces, regardless of in-game Weather. Star Piece increases your Stardust gain by 50%, which is an additional 3,000 Stardust over the baseline.
  • and finally… 125,560 Stardust is the amount of Stardust you will get if you catch 60 Pokémon, with a Star Piece active, during Sunny or Cloudy weather.

The only downside of this event is that Morelull is relatively difficult to catch, and you will probably want to use Great Balls or Ultra Balls during the event. Otherwise, you could be spending too much time attempting to catch, rather than just catching.

Mega Pokémon that boost Morelull

The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Morelull 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 Morelull?

Shiinotic can be viable in Great League limited metas. However, on the whole it is not worth prioritising for your PVP roster.

In terms of PVE, Shiinotic is not in the top 100 Grass type attackers and ranks 51st in Fairy type attackers. There are plenty of other cheap and easily obtainable ‘mon to prioritise as raid attackers.
