Pokémon GO keeps things exciting with its weekly events, including Max Mondays, Raid events, and the ever-popular Spotlight Hour. This guide focuses on Spotlight Hour, a Tuesday event featuring a different Pokémon each week, offering increased rewards and a boosted chance to catch a Shiny version.

Beyond the Shiny Pokémon, Spotlight Hour provides a great opportunity to evolve your featured Pokémon quickly. Catching multiples allows for efficient candy accumulation through transfers, accelerating your evolution progress.

Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide

This week's Spotlight Hour features Roselia on January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Prepare beforehand with plenty of Poké Balls, Berries, and Incense to maximize your catches. This event also includes a 2x Catch XP bonus, offering a fantastic XP boost.

Roselia, the Grass and Poison-type Pokémon (#0315), hails from the Hoenn region (Generation 3). It boasts a max Combat Power (CP) of 2114, with 186 Attack and 131 Defense. Roselia is part of a three-stage evolution line: Budew evolves into Roselia (25 Candies), and Roselia evolves into Roserade (100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone).

Catching a Roselia rewards you with 3 Candies and 100 Stardust.

Roselia is tradeable within Pokémon GO and can also be transferred to Pokémon HOME. As a Grass and Poison type, it's weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type attacks (taking 160% more damage), but resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type attacks (63% reduced damage). Grass-type attacks inflict the least damage (39% reduction). Roselia's best moveset is Poison Jab (Poison) and Sludge Bomb (Poison), delivering 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO. Cloudy weather boosts its attack.

A Shiny Roselia is available! Increase your chances by using Incense and preparing to catch any that appear using Berries. Shiny Roselia features a brighter green body and purple and black roses.
