Mark your calendars for the Roselia Spotlight Hour on January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. To maximize your experience, stock up on berries, Pokéballs, and incense. This week's featured Pokémon is Roselia, and players can enjoy a x2 Catch XP bonus, making it an excellent 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's part of a three-stage evolution: Budew evolves into Roselia with 25 Candies, and Roselia evolves into Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Catching Roselia 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 attacks, taking 160% more damage. Conversely, it resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type attacks (63% reduced damage), with Grass-type attacks offering the most resistance at 39%. The optimal moveset for Roselia is 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 available, characterized by a 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.
