Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide
Mark your calendars for January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, as Roselia takes the spotlight. To make the most of this event, players should stock up on berries, Pokéballs, and incense. This week's Spotlight Hour also offers a x2 Catch XP bonus, providing a fantastic opportunity to level up quickly.
Roselia, a Grass and Poison-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3), boasts a maximum Combat Power of 2114 CP, with 186 Attack and 131 Defense. As part of a three-stage evolution line, Roselia evolves from Budew with 25 Candies and into Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Catching Roselia rewards players with three candies and 100 Stardust.
Roselia can be traded within Pokémon GO and transferred to Pokémon Home. As a Grass and Poison-type, it is vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type attacks, taking 160% more damage. Conversely, it resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type attacks (63% reduced damage), with Grass-type attacks offering the most significant reduction at 39%. For optimal performance, equip Roselia with Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, achieving 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, with enhanced effectiveness in Cloudy Weather.
A Shiny version of Roselia is available, distinguished by its brighter green body and purple and black roses. To increase your chances of encountering a Shiny Roselia, use incense and berries to ensure a successful catch when one appears.
