Biology

Physiology

Roselia seems to share physical traits with both Gardevoir and Jumpluff. However, Roselia is only directly related to Budew and Roserade.

Roselia is a small Pokémon with a light green body. Roselia has a leaf skirt and holds a rose on each of its hands. Roselia has three thorns on top of its head. Roselia are normally 12 inches tall, but on rare occasions they grow up to the size of a human child, similar to Drew's Roselia.

Gender differences

A male Roselia has a shorter skirt than a female.

Special abilities

Roselia normally fire sharp thorns (either Poison Sting or Pin Missile, but the latter of the two rarely occurs) as a first offense, usually at wild Pokémon who try to steal its flowers. Roselia are also capable of launching some Powder-based moves to either inflict status problems on its foes (Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, PoisonPowder or Sweet Scent) or to heal the status problems of itself and its allies (Aromatherapy). Roselia are also capable of knowing Petal Dance. Like most Grass-type Pokémon, Roselia can take in sunlight and focus it into a SolarBeam.

Behavior

Habitat

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Roselia usually drink nutrient-rich spring water. Since Roselia is a plant-based Pokémon, it also nourishes itself through photosynthesis.

In the anime

Roselia is the signature Pokémon of Drew. Roselia was first seen under his ownership in Now That's Flower Power and has been used in many Pokémon Contests since. It evolved at some point between The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing and DP076 while Drew was in Johto.

Victoria of the Winstrate Family owns a Roselia which she used in a battle against May in Candid Camerupt.

At the end of Dawn of a New Era, Ash challenged Nando to a Pokémon battle. Nando's Budew evolved into a Roselia while battling Ash's Pikachu, but Pikachu still won.

Nando and his Roselia appear once more in A Secret Sphere of Influence!.

In the manga

Wally caught a Roselia on Route 117. It's so small that Wally carries it in his pocket.
