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 with ample berries, Poké Balls, and incense to maximize their catches. A 2x Catch XP bonus is also active during this event.

Roselia (#0315), a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon from Generation III (Hoenn), boasts 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% damage reduction), with Grass-type attacks causing the least damage (39% reduction). Its optimal moveset is Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, delivering 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, boosted in Cloudy weather.

A Shiny Roselia exists, with a brighter green body and purple/black roses. Using incense and berries significantly increases your chances of catching a Shiny variant.
