What to Prioritize
During this Rattata Spotlight Hour, focus on capturing as many Rattata as you can. With no shiny variant available, the primary goal should be to stock up on Candy and XP for evolving. Capture every Rattata you encounter, as the XP from catches will compound nicely with the bonus during this event.
Bonuses Worth Using
The highlight of this event is the 2× Evolution XP. If you have a stockpile of Rattata to evolve, or even better, some lucky eggs saved up, now is the time to cash in. Evolving Rattata into Raticate will yield a substantial amount of XP, doubling your earning potential for each evolution completed. For maximum efficiency, consider planning your evolves to coincide with the lucky egg bonus.
Is It Worth Your Time?
If you’re looking to boost your XP quickly, this Spotlight Hour offers a straightforward opportunity. However, if you’re not heavily invested in Rattata or don’t need the XP right now, you might find better use of your time elsewhere. Keep your expectations in check; the lack of a shiny and the limited utility of Rattata in the current meta means this event is more about the XP grind than catching something special.
