Pokémon GO enthusiasts, get ready for another exciting week of events, with the much-anticipated Spotlight Hour taking center stage every Tuesday. This weekly event brings a new featured Pokémon to the forefront, offering players a chance to catch them, earn rewards, and even snag a Shiny version. Additionally, players can evolve their Pokémon by collecting extra ones and transferring them for bonus candies, accelerating the evolution process.
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, ensure you have plenty of berries, Pokéballs, and incense on hand. Roselia, a Grass and Poison-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3), is the star of the show this week. Players can also benefit from a x2 Catch XP bonus, making it an excellent opportunity to boost your XP levels quickly.
Roselia, with its Pokédex 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 (requiring 25 Candies), and then to Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Catching Roselia 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 (63% reduced damage), with Grass-type attacks causing the least damage (39% reduced). The optimal moveset for Roselia includes Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, delivering 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, with performance enhanced in Cloudy Weather.
A Shiny version of Roselia is also up for grabs during the Spotlight Hour. To increase your chances of encountering this rare variant, utilize incense and berries effectively. The Shiny Roselia sports a vibrant green body with striking purple and black roses.
