Drew's Roserade (Japanese: シュウのロズレイド Shū's Roserade) was Drew's first Pokémon seen in the anime; at the time it was a Roselia.

History

As a Roselia

Hoenn

Roserade is one of Drew's strongest Pokémon, and for a while it was the only one he used in battle. It helped him with several contests, and it even defeated Ash's Taillow in a battle the two had, despite a clear type advantage on Ash's part.

When Drew participated at the Slateport City Contest in Win, Lose or Drew!, he and Roselia defeated May and her Beautifly, but went on to lose to Robert and his Milotic.

In Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut? Drew uses Roselia alongside Masquerain to battle against Team Rocket together of the May and Ash's Pokémon.

Drew uses Roselia again in Rhapsody in Drew. When May was facing Drew in the Hoenn Grand Festival, he sent out Roselia to battle her Combusken and Skitty. Along with his Flygon, he defeated May.

Kanto Battle Frontier

As more of Drew's Pokémon were revealed, he began to use Roselia less often. However, he didn't stop using it completely.

He also used it in his last Kanto battle against May in The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing. It was used in a Double Battle alongside his Butterfree against May's Combusken and her Beautifly. Drew managed to defeat May.

Johto

May revealed in A Full Course Tag Battle! that Roselia accompanied Drew to Johto, where it evidently evolved, as it is shown as a Roserade in her flashback and when it appeared watching the finals of the Wallace Cup with Drew, Solidad and Harley in Strategy With a Smile!.
