Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide
This week's Spotlight Hour takes place on January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Players should prepare by stocking up on Poke Balls, Berries, and Incense to maximize their catches. Roselia will be the featured Pokemon, and the event also includes a 2x Catch XP bonus.
Roselia (#0315), a Grass/Poison-type Pokemon from Generation 3 (Hoenn), boasts a maximum Combat Power (CP) of 2114, with 186 Attack and 131 Defense. It evolves in a three-stage process: Budew to Roselia (25 Candies), then Roselia to Roserade (100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone).
Catching Roselia yields 3 Candies and 100 Stardust. It's tradable within Pokemon GO and can also be transferred to Pokemon Home.
Roselia's weaknesses include Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type attacks (160% increased damage taken). It resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type attacks (63% damage reduction), with Grass-type attacks causing the least damage (39% reduction). Its optimal moveset is Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, delivering 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, boosted in Cloudy Weather.
A Shiny Roselia is available. Increasing your chances of finding one involves using Incense and Berries. The Shiny Roselia features a brighter green body and purple and black roses.
