Roselia Shines Bright in Pokémon GO Spotlight

Pokemon GO's weekly Spotlight Hour events offer players exciting opportunities to catch featured Pokemon, earn rewards, and even snag Shiny variants. This guide focuses on the Roselia Spotlight Hour.

This week's Spotlight Hour features Roselia and 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. This event also provides a 2x Catch XP bonus, offering a great XP farming opportunity.

Roselia (#0315), a Grass and Poison-type Pokemon from Generation III (Hoenn), boasts a maximum Combat Power (CP) of 2114, with 186 Attack and 131 Defense. It evolves in two stages: Budew to Roselia (25 Candies), then Roselia to Roserade (100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone). Catching a Roselia yields 3 Candies and 100 Stardust.

Roselia is tradeable within Pokemon GO and can also be transferred to Pokemon Home. Its weaknesses include Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type attacks (160% increased damage taken). It resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type attacks (63% reduced damage), with Grass-type attacks causing the least damage (39% reduced damage). Its optimal moveset is Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, delivering 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, further boosted in Cloudy Weather.

A Shiny Roselia exists, distinguished by a brighter green body and purple and black roses. Increasing your chances of encountering a Shiny Roselia involves using Incense and readily using Berries to secure any Shiny appearances.
