Explore how to get Roselia in Pokemon GO with tips on spawning conditions, ideal habitats, and event-based appearances.
If you’re eager to add Roselia to your Pokemon GO collection, you have several options to explore. This Grass and Poison-type Pokemon often appear during special in-game events, and you can also work toward evolving it or trading with friends. Here’s how you can catch Roselia in a fun and effective way.
How To Catch Roselia in Pokemon GO?
1. Look for Wild Encounters
Roselia can appear in the wild, especially during certain events like Spotlight Hour. For example, on January 14, 2025, from 6 to 7 p.m. local time, Roselia appeared much more often. This type of event is the perfect chance to catch Roselia while also collecting Bedew Candy, which is useful for its evolution.
Roselia tends to appear more frequently in Sunny and Cloudy weather. If you want to increase your odds even more, use a Lure Module at Pokestops or activate Incense while exploring.
2. Battle in Raids
Another way to catch Roselia is by taking part in one-star raids. These raids are easy to tackle solo, and Roselia’s Combat Power (CP) in raids is 5,494. Be prepared as it can use moves like Magical Leaf, Razor Leaf, Poison Jab as Fast Attacks, Sludge Bomb, Petal Blizzard, or Dazzling Gleam as Charged Attacks.
Since Roselia is weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type moves, bring strong counters such as:
- Mega Rayquaza
- Charizard (Mega Y)
- Shadow Heatran
- Shadow Salamence
- Shadow Moltres
3. Evolve Budew
If you can’t find Roselia in the wild or in raids, try evolving a Budew. You’ll need 25 Budew Candy to make this happen.
Here are some quick tips to gather Budew Candy:
- Catch as many Budew family members as possible.
- Transfer extras to Professor Willow for candies.
- Set Budew as your Buddy and walk to earn candy.
- Trade Budew with friends to gain even more candies.
4. Trade with Friends
Can’t seem to find Roselia anywhere? Your in-game friends can help! Ask a friend who has an extra Roselia to trade with you. Make sure you have the Stardust required for trading.
Can Roselia Be Shiny in Pokemon GO?
Yes! You might even encounter a shiny Roselia. Both wild Roselia and those found in raids have a chance of being shiny. This shiny form first appeared during the Dortmund Safari Zone event on June 30, 2018.
How To Evolve Roselia into Roserade?
If you want to take your Roselia to the next level, you can evolve it into Roserade. This requires 100 Budew Candies and a Sinnoh Stone. Don’t worry—the shiny version of Roselia can also be evolved in the same way.
Benefits of Roserade
Roserade is a great choice for battles, particularly in raids. Its dual Grass- and Poison-type moves make it versatile:
- Against Water, Rock, and Ground types, equip Magical Leaf as its Fast Attack and Grass Knot as its Charged Attack.
- Against Fairy or Grass types, use Poison Jab for its Fast Attack and Sludge Bomb for its Charged Attack.
Roserade stands out as a reliable attacker, so evolving Roselia can be worth the effort!
Catching Roselia in Pokemon GO is a rewarding experience. Whether you encounter it during Spotlight Hour, tackle it in a raid, or evolve it from Budew, the process is straightforward and enjoyable. Good luck catching this Thorn Pokemon and building your ultimate team!
