Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide

Mark your calendars for the upcoming Spotlight Hour on January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This week's star is Roselia, a Grass and Poison-type Pokemon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3). To make the most of this event, stock up on berries, Pokeballs, and incense. Not only will you have a better chance at catching Roselia, but you'll also benefit from a x2 Catch XP bonus, allowing you to level up faster during the event.

Roselia, with its Pokedex number #0315, boasts a maximum Combat Power of 2114 CP, 186 Attack, and 131 Defense. It's part of a three-stage evolution line: starting from Budew to Roselia with 25 Candies, and then to Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Catching Roselia rewards you with three candies and 100 Stardust.

In Pokemon GO, Roselia can be traded and transferred to Pokemon Home. As a dual Grass and Poison-type, it's vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type attacks, taking 160% more damage from them. Conversely, it resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type attacks (63% reduced damage), with Grass-type attacks offering the highest resistance at 39%. Roselia's optimal moveset includes Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, delivering 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, with performance boosted in Cloudy Weather.

Don't miss the chance to catch a Shiny Roselia! Increase your odds by using incense and berries. The Shiny version sports a vibrant green body with purple and black roses, making it a striking addition to any Pokedex.
