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 December. Slugma and Bergmite Spotlight Hour takes place on December 17, 2024, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm local time, with 2× Catch Candy bonus.
This Spotlight Hour is the third December 2024 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!

Note on Catch Bonus
If you do not want to catch the featured Pokémon, you can make use of the 2x Catch Candy bonus by catching any saved Scatterbug, or opening a Mystery Box or Coin Bag!

Mega Pokémon that boost Slugma
The following Pokémon will grant you extra bonuses when catching Slugma 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 Slugma?
PVE
No
PVP
MAGCARGO can act as a great budget option as it roasts most of the Bugs (though those with Water, Fighting, or Ground damage are obviously problematic), as well as the vast majority of Grasses. Just don’t get locked in versus other Rocks!

Bergmite’s maximum Combat Power stat is 1374 CP, and its best Pokémon GO moves are Bite and Icy Wind. Bergmite encounters are boosted during Snow weather. Shiny Bergmite is available! ✨

PVE
Despite being a defensive Pokémon, Avalugg is actually a decent Ice-type raid attacker. This is partly because there aren’t many strong, attack-focused Ice types, and partly because Avalugg’s best raid moveset is purely Ice-type. Speaking of moves, you’ll want an Ice Fang and Avalanche combo.
As an Ice-type raid attacker, Avalugg is strong against Flying, Ground, Grass, and Dragon types.
PVP
Despite being respectably bulky in all three leagues, Avalugg does not perform well in any of the main metas. This is because Avalugg is fairly easy to predict and counter as a pure Ice type. Additionally, Avalugg lacks a solid moveset, further hindering its viability.
