Pokémon GO is packed with exciting weekly events throughout the month, including Max Mondays, Raid events, and the much-anticipated Spotlight Hour. This guide focuses on the Spotlight Hour, a weekly event that occurs every Tuesday in the game, spotlighting a different Pokémon each week.
During the Spotlight Hour, players have the opportunity to earn various rewards and even encounter the Shiny version of the featured Pokémon. Additionally, players can efficiently evolve the event Pokémon to its final form by transferring extra catches for bonus candies.
Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide
The upcoming Spotlight Hour is scheduled for January 14th, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. To maximize your experience during this event, make sure to stock up on berries, Pokéballs, and incense. This week's featured Pokémon is Roselia, and players will benefit from a x2 Catch XP bonus, making it an excellent opportunity to level up quickly.

Roselia is part of a three-stage evolution line: starting as Budew, evolving into Roselia with 25 Candies, and finally into Roserade with 100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone.
Catching Roselia rewards players with three candies and 100 Stardust. This Pokémon can be traded within Pokémon GO and transferred to Pokémon Home.
