Biology

Physiology

At first glance, Budew barely has any similarities to its evolved forms, Roselia and Roserade. However, when the two "vines" that are on top of Budew's head open up, a big spot can be seen on each vine (one that is blue and the other being red). As a matter of fact, the two vines are actually what will be the Pokémon's flower-holding arms when it evolves into Roselia. Budew also appears to be wearing a green bib. This will become a skirt once it evolves.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Budew can basically do almost anything Roselia and Roserade are capable of, but its abilities are usually weaker. However, the Water Sport and Worry Seed attacks can only be learned by Budew.

Behavior

Habitat

Budew live close to freshwater ponds.

Diet

In the anime

Budew first appeared briefly in Following a Maiden's Voyage, but made its first major appearance in Dawn of a New Era. It was owned by a minstrel called Nando and used in battle against Dawn's Piplup and Ash's Pikachu. It evolved into Roselia in the second battle.

Another appeared in Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan in Forsythia's flashback, which later became her Roserade.

Several Budew made an appearance in The Rise of Darkrai.
