Pokémon GO enthusiasts are in for a treat with the game's weekly events, including Max Mondays, Raid events, and the much-anticipated Spotlight Hour. This guide zeroes in on the Spotlight Hour, a weekly event that occurs every Tuesday, spotlighting a different Pokémon each time.
During the Spotlight Hour, players have the opportunity to earn various rewards and increase their chances of encountering a Shiny version of the featured Pokémon. Additionally, players can easily evolve the event's Pokémon to its final form by transferring extra catches for bonus candies.
Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide
The upcoming Spotlight Hour on January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, will feature Roselia. To make the most of this event, players should stock up on berries, Pokéballs, and incense. This particular Spotlight Hour also offers an x2 Catch XP bonus, providing a fantastic opportunity to level up quickly.
Roselia, a Grass and Poison-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3), boasts a maximum Combat Power of 2114 CP, with 186 Attack and 131 Defense. It is part of a three-stage evolution line: Budew evolves into Roselia with 25 Candies, and Roselia evolves into Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone.
Catching Roselia during the Spotlight Hour rewards players with three candies and 100 Stardust. Roselia can be traded within Pokémon GO and transferred to Pokémon Home. As a Grass and Poison-type, it's 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 moves (63% reduced damage), with Grass-type moves offering the most significant resistance at 39%. Roselia's optimal moveset includes Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb, delivering 10.96 DPS and 99.91 TDO, with performance enhanced under Cloudy Weather conditions.
A Shiny version of Roselia is available, sporting a brighter green body with purple and black roses. To boost the chances of encountering a Shiny Roselia, players should use incense and have berries ready to increase their catch rate.
