Roselia (Japanese: ロゼリア Roselia) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Budew when leveled up with high friendship during the day and evolves into Roserade when exposed to a Shiny Stone.

Biology

Roselia is a small, light green bipedal Pokémon. It has three thorns on top of its head, and it has black eyes with long eyelashes. Visible from the back is a small stretch of yellow coloration around its neck much like a collar. There are leaves extending from its shoulders like epaulettes. It has a leaf skirt with a yellow stripe running down the front. A male will have a shorter leaf than a female. It holds a rose in each of its hands, a red one in its right, and a blue one in its left. However, it is said that it will occasionally have unusually colored flowers.

Roselia's aroma brings serenity, but the thorns on its head contain a vicious poison. The more healthy it is, the more pleasant its flowers' aroma. It shoots sharp thorns at anything that tries to steal its flowers and uses different poisons in each hand when it attacks. It lives in grassy areas where it drinks nutrient-rich spring water. Roseilia's thorns are used as part of an old tradition, challenging an opponent to a duel by sending these thorns.

In Generation III, Grass Whistle was its signature move, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.

Trivia

• Roselia is the only Pokémon to receive both a pre-evolved form and an evolved form in the same generation outside of its debut generation.
• Roselia and its evolved form are the only Poison-type Pokémon in the Fairy Egg Group.
• In 2007, employees of Nintendo of America put Heracross up on the Global Trade Station for a Japanese Roselia.
• Roselia is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect foreign Pokédex entries for in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Origin

Roselia is likely based on rose bushes. Its humanoid design, connection to flowers, and one of its Egg Groups suggest that it is also based on fairies. While red and blue are known rose colours, these two specifically together could be referencing hydrangeas, which produce red or blue flowers depending on the pH level of the soil.

Name origin

Roselia may be a combination of rose, azalea, and camellia.
