Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide
The upcoming Spotlight Hour on January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, will spotlight Roselia. Players should prepare by stocking up on berries, Pokéballs, and incense to maximize their experience. This event also offers a x2 Catch XP bonus, providing a fantastic opportunity to boost your XP quickly.
Roselia, a Grass and Poison-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3), is cataloged as #0315. With a maximum Combat Power of 2114 CP, 186 Attack, and 131 Defense, Roselia is a part of a three-stage evolution line: starting as Budew, evolving into Roselia with 25 Candies, and finally into Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone.
Catching Roselia during this event rewards players with three candies and 100 Stardust. This Pokémon can be traded within Pokémon GO and transferred to Pokémon Home. As a Grass and Poison-type, Roselia is vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type moves, taking 160% more damage from these attacks. Conversely, it resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type moves, receiving 63% less damage, and is highly resistant to Grass-type attacks, taking just 39% damage. Roselia's optimal moveset includes Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, achieving 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, with enhanced performance in Cloudy weather.
A Shiny version of Roselia is available during the Spotlight Hour, distinguished by its vibrant green body and striking purple and black roses. To increase your chances of encountering a Shiny Roselia, use incense and berries to improve your catching success rate.
