Pokémon GO enthusiasts are in for a treat with the weekly Spotlight Hour event, which occurs every Tuesday and features a different Pokémon each week. This guide focuses on the Roselia Spotlight Hour, offering players a chance to snag rewards and potentially catch a Shiny version of the featured Pokémon. Additionally, players can maximize their gains by transferring extra Pokémon to earn bonus candies, facilitating the evolution of the event's star Pokémon.
Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide
Mark your calendars for the Roselia Spotlight Hour on January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. To make the most of this event, players should stock up on berries, Pokéballs, and incense. The spotlight this week shines on Roselia, a Grass and Poison-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3), cataloged as #0315. With a maximum Combat Power of 2114 CP, 186 Attack, and 131 Defense, Roselia is a formidable choice for battles. This Spotlight Hour also offers an x2 Catch XP bonus, providing a fantastic opportunity to level up quickly.
Roselia is part of a three-stage evolution line, starting with Budew evolving into Roselia with 25 Candies, and then Roselia evolving into Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Catching Roselia during the event rewards players with three candies and 100 Stardust.
In Pokémon GO, Roselia can be traded 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 from these. Conversely, it resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type attacks, receiving 63% reduced damage, and Grass-type attacks are the least effective, with a 39% damage reduction. 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 during the event, 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 you can catch one if it appears.
