Budew (Japanese: スボミー Subomie) is a dual-type Grass/Poison baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Roselia when leveled up with high friendship during the day, which evolves into Roserade when exposed to a Shiny Stone.

Biology

Budew's red and blue spots

Budew is a bipedal, rosebud-like Pokémon. It is one of the shortest Grass-type Pokémon. Its face is yellow with small, slit-like eyes. It appears to be wearing a green bib and has triangular, stubby yellow feet. When the two vines that are on top of its head open up, a big spot can be seen on each. One vine has a blue spot, while the other has a red spot.

Budew keeps its buds closed during the cold winter, but opens them again in the spring and releases poisonous pollen. The pollen it scatters induces harsh sneezing and runny noses, and is more toxic depending on how clean the water it was fed with was. Budew's bud beginning to open is seen as the imminent arrival of spring. It lives near clean pools and ponds.

Evolution

Budew evolves into Roselia, which evolves into Roserade.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Icon for Budew Drop Inn
  • The Japanese title of Dawn of a New Era!, Pochama VS Subomie! Hikari's First Battle!!, caused confusion upon release since Budew had not yet been revealed to the public.
  • Budew is the only one of its evolutionary line whose English name differs from its Japanese name.
  • Budew and Roserade are the only Pokémon to be adjacent in the National Pokédex order and yet have an evolutionary stage in between them.
  • Budew is tied with Foongus and Shroodle for the shortest Poison-type Pokémon.
  • The Budew Drop Inn in Motostoke is named after Budew, and its company logo depicts a Budew.
  • As of the Paradox Rift expansion of the Trading Card Game, Budew has not received a new card in English for longer than any other Pokémon. Its most recent card in English was released in 2008 as part of Stormfront.

Origin

Budew may be based on a rose bud.

Name origin

Budew may be a combination of bud and dew.

Subomie may be a corruption of 蕾 tsubomi (flower bud).
