Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide
This week's Spotlight Hour, featuring Roselia, takes place on January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Players should prepare by stocking up on items like Berries, Poké Balls, and Incense to maximize their catches. The event also includes a 2x Catch XP bonus.
Roselia (#0315), a Grass and Poison-type Pokémon from Generation 3 (Hoenn), has a max CP of 2114, 186 Attack, and 131 Defense. It evolves from Budew (25 Candies) to Roselia, then to Roserade (100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone). Catching a Roselia yields 3 Candies and 100 Stardust.
Roselia is tradable within Pokémon GO and can be transferred to Pokémon Home. Its weaknesses are 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). Its optimal moveset is Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, offering 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, boosted in Cloudy weather.
A Shiny Roselia exists, with a brighter green body and purple and black roses. Increasing your chances of encountering a Shiny requires using Incense and Berries to ensure successful captures.
