Roserade (Japanese: ロズレイド Roserade) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon.
It evolves from Roselia via Template:Stone. It is the final form of Budew.
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 are possess red irises and are similar to the Pokémon of Ralts's evolutionary line, although they also 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 instead, 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 is 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 Template:Type2s, 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 or by switching out.
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. This is also how Roserade hunts for food. 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 animeIn the mangaIn the TCGGame dataTrivia
- Roserade is the only final form dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced after Generation I.
- It is also the only final form dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon whose name does not begin with a "V".
- 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.
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.
Roserade may also have been based on ganguro, a style in Japan that was popular around the 90s where women would acquire a dark tan, bleach their hair to blonde or some other light color, and wear white or light-colored makeup.
Name origin
Roserade's name is probably a combination of rose and masquerade, due to the appearance of wearing a mask. Its name is also an anagram of 'a red rose' - however, this is probably a coincidence, and Roserade has a red and a blue rose for hands.
