Roserade (Japanese: ロズレイド Roserade) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Roselia when exposed to a Shiny Stone. It is the final form of Budew.

Biology

Roserade is a bipedal Pokémon with an appearance that incorporates features of roses and masquerade attire. It has hair made of white rose petals, and a leafy, green cape with a yellow, collar-like bangle on its neck. The cape pattern reaches toward the back of its head, in spiky, sepal-like extensions on the hair. A male will have a shorter cape than a female. It has a dark-green mask over its red, yellow-lidded eyes. The lower portion of its face is light green, and it holds a bouquet in each hand, with a red in its right hand and blue in its left. Its limbs and underside are light green. Its feet end with yellow tips.

Roserade lures prey with a sweet aroma. The more toxic its poison, the sweeter its aroma becomes. Each hand has different toxins, but both hands can jab with near-deadly power. The right arm of Roserade contains poisons that act faster, while the left arms contains poisons that act more slowly. Regardless, Roserade's poison can be life-threatening. It attacks with a dancer-like elegance and uses hidden whips covered with poisonous thorns.

Trivia

Rosie's Roserade costume (English version)

• A Roserade costume is worn by Rosie in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
• Roserade and its pre-evolution are the only Poison-type Pokémon in the Fairy Egg Group.
• Roserade is one of the two third-stage Pokémon which can be obtained at level 1, the other being Porygon-Z.

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.

It is also possible that, instead of roses, its design was based on hellebores, a genus in which many species are poisonous and deceptively similar to roses, tying in once again to the theme of disguises. Alternatively, the flowers could draw inspiration from hydrangea flowers, which are poisonous and have flowers that grow in clusters and can come in red and blue varieties. Finally, Roserade's humanoid design, connection to flowers, and one of its Egg Groups suggest that it is also based on fairies.

Name origin

Roserade may be a combination of rose and masquerade (due to the appearance of wearing a mask).
