Biology

Physiology

Roserade’s appearance incorporates features of roses and decorative dress, such as masquerade. The three spikes that Roserade had on its head when it was a Roselia have been replaced with "hair" made of white rose petals. Roserade no longer has a leafy skirt, but a leafy, green cape instead, with a yellow, collar-like bangle on its neck. The ‘cape’ pattern reaches toward the back of Roserade’s head, in spiky, sepal-like extensions on the 'hair'. This Pokémon species has a dark-green ‘mask’ pattern over their eyes, which possess red irises and have yellow eyelids. The lower portion of its face is light green, and the single roses that Roserade had in its hands when it was a Roselia have now become bouquets of roses; red for its right hand and blue for its left. Its limbs and underside, which has a thin vertical stripe running down it, are light green, and its upper chest, chin, and the upper portion of its face are dark green in coloration. Its feet end with yellow tips.

Gender differences

A female has a longer "cape" than a male.

Special abilities

Roserade can generally use any attacks that its pre-evolutions can use, but with greater strength. Roserade is able to learn how to perform Weather Ball. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Roserade can use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact. Its hands contain toxins, different ones for each limb, that allow it to use Poison Sting and through one of its capable abilities, Poison Point, which poisons the foe upon contact. Roserade, like many other Grass-types, can utilize the sun in order to use moves like Synthesis and SolarBeam. Roserade naturally learn Sweet Scent, which may account for how it attracts insects. Roserade are also capable of launching many moves to inflict status problems on its foes. Roserade are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as Magical Leaf and Energy Ball. Roserade are able to heal themselves through moves such as Mega Drain and Giga Drain.

Behavior

Roserade tend to have quite a deceptive nature. It lures its prey to it with a pleasant aroma and kills the victim with thorny vines hidden within the bouquets it holds in its arms, or by spewing poison. The more toxic it is, the sweeter its aroma. Roserade tend to stay motionless with its arms crossed, which allows its prey to come to it.

Habitat

Roserade live in fields and woods with temperate climates.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Since Roserade is a plant-based Pokémon, it also nourishes itself through photosynthesis. Roserade probably eats insects that are attracted to the scent of flowers like the ones Roserade has.

In the anime

Major appearances

Roserade first appeared in Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!, under the ownership of Forsythia. Forsythia first met her Roserade when it was a Budew, where she befriended it and gave it a red scarf. This Roserade, however, was very shy and timid. Roserade also protects Forsythia's garden from being ravaged by Team Rocket. Forsythia's Roserade also made a brief appearance in Unlocking the Red Chain of Events! alongside Forsythia and her Lotad.

Roserade made another appearance in The Grass Menagerie! when Ash was battling Gardenia for his Forest Badge. Roserade was able to beat Ash's Turtwig with a Weather Ball before being beaten by his Aipom.

Drew is revealed to have evolved his Roselia into a Roserade by May in A Full Course Tag Battle!, and was first seen in "person" watching the Wallace Cup with Drew in Strategy With a Smile!.

Another Roserade appeared in Barry's Busting Out All Over!, this time under the ownership of Barry. It was used in his battle against Ash. It defeated Chimchar with a barrage of Poison Jabs but tied with Gliscor from one of Gliscor's X-Scissors. It appeared again in Steeling Peace of Mind!.

In Coming Full-Festival Circle!, Nando was shown to have evolved his Roselia into a Roserade. It appeared briefly alongside his Sunflora. Nando's Roserade battled against Ash's Staraptor in League Unleashed! but was defeated.

Minor appearances

A Roserade appeared in The Rise of Darkrai as one of the Pokémon attacked by Darkrai and being treated by Alicia in Alice's flashback of her grandmother. It was put to sleep by Darkrai's Dark Void and later seen listening to Alicia play Oración alongside the other Pokémon Darkrai had attacked.

Another one appeared in Yes, in Dee Dee It's Dawn!, participating in a Double Performance in the Daybreak Town Contest.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry DP025 Roserade Ash's Pokédex Roserade, the Bouquet Pokémon. Roserade is the evolved form of Roselia. It lures enemies with its sweet aroma, and attacks with dancer-like elegance. This concludes the entries from the Diamond & Pearl series.

In the manga

Roserade appears in Pokémon Adventures, in the Diamond & Pearl chapter. Gardenia used a Roserade alongside her Cherubi in a double battle against Platinum's Prinplup and Ponyta. Although it quickly gained the upper hand by knocking out the latter using its poison whips and badly beat the former using combinations of Grass Knot and the aforementioned move, both ultimately became her downfall when Platinum took advantage of the cover that the knots gave and the holes that the whips created to deliver a finishing Blizzard that defeated both her Pokémon.

Trivia

• Since no leveling up is required to evolve it from Roselia, and breeding Budew is optional, Roserade is one of the two fully evolved three-stage Pokémon capable of legitimately being level 1 (Porygon-Z is the other).
• Despite Pokédex entries noting that Roserade attacks prey with thorny vines hidden within the bouquets it holds in its arms, Roserade (as well as Budew and Roselia) cannot learn Vine Whip or Power Whip.
• Roserade is tied with Exeggutor for the highest Special Attack of all Grass-types.

Origin

Roserade appears to be based on a combination of a bouquet of roses, and a mysterious patron of a masquerade ball, in which masks would be worn to hide the identity of the participants. Its mask, cape and the mention of its 'movements of a dancer' in its Pokédex entry seem to confirm this.

Name origin

Roserade's name is probably a portmanteau of rose and masquerade, due to the appearance of wearing a mask.
