What to Prioritize
During the Seedot Spotlight Hour, your main focus should be on catching as many Seedot as possible. While it doesn't have a shiny form to chase, it can still be useful for evolving into Nuzleaf and later Shiftry, which can hold its own in certain Great League and Ultra League scenarios. Keep an eye on IVs; you want to aim for at least a 15/14/13 spread to maximize its performance in battles.
Bonus XP Strategy
With the 2× Catch XP bonus, this event is a prime opportunity to boost your XP, especially if you’re gearing up for level 50. Use a Lucky Egg to double your XP gains even further. Each Seedot you catch will net you 400 XP with the bonus, which can add up quickly if you play efficiently. Aim to catch a solid batch, as this can help push you closer to your next level while also giving you some useful Seedot for future use.
Is It Worth Your Time?
If you're looking to optimize your time during the Spotlight Hour, it’s worth participating, especially for the XP boost. However, if you’re not interested in Seedot or its evolutions, you might find more value in other activities. The lack of shinies makes it less exciting for collectors, but for those focusing on leveling up and filling out their Pokédex, it's a solid hour to engage in. Just remember, while Seedot isn't a meta-defining Pokémon, the XP gains can certainly help your progression in the game.
