Pokémon GO offers a variety of weekly events, including Max Mondays, Raid events, and the Spotlight Hour, which we'll focus on here. This event takes place every Tuesday, featuring a different Pokémon each week. Players can earn rewards and even encounter Shiny versions of the featured Pokémon.
Additionally, quickly evolving the Spotlight Pokémon is easy by transferring extras for bonus candies.
Roselia Spotlight Hour Guide

Roselia, a Grass and Poison-type Pokémon (#0315, Hoenn region), has a max CP of 2114, 186 Attack, and 131 Defense. It's part of a three-stage evolution line: Budew to Roselia (25 Candies), then Roselia to Roserade (100 Candies and a Sinnoh Stone).
Catching Roselia rewards you with 3 Candies and 100 Stardust. It can be traded in Pokémon GO and transferred to Pokémon Home. Roselia is weak to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Psychic-type attacks (160% increased damage), but resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type attacks (63% reduced damage), and Grass-type attacks (39% reduced damage). Its best moveset is Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb (10.96 DPS, 99.91 TDO), boosted in Cloudy weather.
