Pokémon GO is filled with exciting weekly events, and one of the highlights is the Spotlight Hour, which takes place every Tuesday. Each week features a different Pokémon at the center of the event, offering players unique opportunities to earn rewards and even catch a Shiny version of the featured Pokémon. Additionally, players can evolve their Pokémon more efficiently by transferring extra catches to gain bonus candies.
Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide
The upcoming Spotlight Hour is scheduled for January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Players should prepare by stocking up on berries, Pokéballs, and incense to maximize their experience during the event. This week's featured Pokémon is Roselia, and players can benefit from an x2 Catch XP bonus, making it an excellent opportunity to boost your XP quickly.
Roselia, a Grass and Poison-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region in Generation 3, has a Pokédex number of #0315. With a maximum Combat Power of 2114 CP, 186 Attack, and 131 Defense, Roselia is a part of a three-stage evolution line: starting from Budew, evolving into Roselia with 25 Candies, and finally into Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone.
Catching Roselia during the Spotlight Hour will reward players with three candies and 100 Stardust. Roselia can be traded within Pokémon GO and is also compatible with Pokémon Home Transfer. As a Grass and Poison-type, Roselia is vulnerable to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type moves, taking 160% more damage from these attacks. Conversely, it resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type attacks, receiving 63% less damage, and Grass-type attacks are reduced by 39%. For optimal performance, Roselia's best moveset is Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, which delivers 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, with enhanced effectiveness in Cloudy Weather.
There's also the excitement of encountering a Shiny Roselia. To increase your chances of catching one, use incense and berries. The Shiny Roselia stands out with its vibrant green body and striking purple and black roses.
