Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide

Mark your calendars for January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM for the Roselia Spotlight Hour. Make sure you're well-stocked with berries, Pokeballs, and incense to maximize your experience during this event. This week's star is Roselia, and as a bonus, you'll enjoy a x2 Catch XP boost, helping you level up faster!

Roselia, a dual Grass and Poison-type Pokemon, is numbered #0315 in the Pokedex and hails from the Hoenn region of Generation 3. With a maximum Combat Power of 2114 CP, 186 Attack, and 131 Defense, Roselia is a formidable contender. Its evolution path is clear: Budew evolves into Roselia with 25 Candies, and Roselia further evolves into Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone.

Catching Roselia during the Spotlight Hour will net you three candies and 100 Stardust per catch. You can also trade Roselia with other players within Pokemon GO and transfer it to Pokemon 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 only 63% damage, and is most resistant to Grass-type moves at 39% damage. For the best performance, equip Roselia with Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, which deliver a DPS of 10.96 and a TDO of 99.91, with optimal performance during Cloudy Weather.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Shiny Roselia, which sports a vibrant green body and striking purple and black roses. To increase your chances of encountering this rare variant, make use of incense and don't hesitate to use berries to secure your catch if one appears.
