Comments

Roselia (M) @ Evolution Stone
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 96 Def / 148 SAtk / 16 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Giga Drain
- Rest
- Toxic Spikes
- Venom Shock

Answer 1

Sludge bomb-Good power, STAB, chance to poison

Shadow ball-Cover psychic weakness

energy ball/Leaf storm-energy ball for decent power, leaf storm for all out stregnth, but lowered power (you could use sludge bomb for your standard attack and use this when necessary)

Leech seed/Stun spore/ aromatherapy/Synthesis/spikes-good support moves

EDIT----
If you are lucky enough to come upon another roserad with the correct IVs, you could teach it hidden power [rock.] It's special and covers more weaknesses.

Roserade could REALLY use a Special rock type move!

Comments

It rally does need a rock move. too bad it can use ancientpower or something like this.

---

I would replace Shadow Ball with Sleep Powder and choose Leech Seed as the final move. This is a good combo. However, Sleep Powder is an Egg move. Otherwise, good moveset DT.

---

True. I only chose shadow ball for the psychic weakness.

Answer 2

Roserade (F) @ Focus Sash

Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Toxic Spikes
- Rest

PBs set from Smogon

Comments

chesto berry for rest

---

I don't know about a Chesto Berry. Natural Cure eliminates status ailments when you switch out. With that being said, if you forgo Giga Drain for Leaf Storm, you can hit them with Leaf Storm, Rest up and be out of there.

Answer 3

Gen. V

Ability: Poison Point

Venoshock STAB + double power if opponent gets poisoned by poison point

Shadow Ball Type coverage against Psychics

Energy Ball Takes advantage of Sp. Attack + STAB

Leech Seed Drains enemy HP each Turn; or Hidden Power(Rock) for type coverage.

Hope this helps...

Comments

Poison Point is too much of a risk if you ask me.

Answer 4

I would go for:
- Toxic Spikes
- Energy Ball
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power Ground-type if possible, otherwise Shadow Ball

Answer 5

Alternate set:
- Sunny Day
- Solarbeam (no charging with Sunny Day)
- Weather Ball (Fire-type with Sunny Day in play)
- Sludge Bomb or Shadow Ball just for coverage.

You could also switch Rain Dance into the last slot to get a Water-type weather ball, and reduce damage from Fire types.

Comments

If you are going to have Rain Dance, replace Sunny Day and Solarbeam for Rain Dance and Energy Ball.

---

I actually thought of this exact set! Curse you XP!

Answer 6

Here is my set

Sweeper timid 4p 252 S.attack, 252speed

Energy ball(STAB)

Shadow ball(Covers Psychic weakness)

Weatherball/HP(Rock)(Weather ball if on a team with sandstorm otherwise HP(Rock)

Toxic spikes/Sludge bomb(Entry hazard or STAB)

Answer 7

Gen V Set for Roselia

Roselia (M) @ Eviolite

Trait: Natural Cure

EVs: 4 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

• Toxic Spikes
• Spikes
• Giga Drain
• Venoshock

Answer 8

Gen V

Roserade (F) @ Leftovers

Trait: Natural Cure

EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 4 Spd

Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)

• Toxic Spikes
• Sleep Powder
• Giga Drain
• Venoshock

Answer 9

Hmm. I was thinking something along the lines of this:

Gender: Dosen't Matter
Ability: Poison Point
Nature: Modest (-Atk/+Sp. Atk)
EVs: 252 Sp. Atk / 128 Spd / 128 Def

Giga Drain - Pretty stong grass-type move, STAB, and it restores HP by a little bit.
Sleep Powder - Better accuracy then most other sleep moves. Sleep is always a good way to stall an Opponent.
Venoshock - Does a lot of damage if the opponent has been poisoned by Poison Point, and STAB.
Shadow Ball - Defence against Psychic-Types.

Answer 10

gen V sweeper

ability-technition

SUNNY DAY-set-up weather ball

WEATHER BALL-with tech.becomes 150

MAGICAL LEAF-with tech. becomes 90

???-maby hp rock or toxic spikes or sleep powder

Comments

Magical Leaf's power would be 135, I believe. Please correct me if I'm wrong,

Answer 11

Here's what I use:

Roserade (F) @ Choice Specs

Trait: Natural Cure

EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 HP

Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)

• Extrasensory
• Energy Ball
• Sludge Bomb / Shadow Ball
• Hidden Power [Fire] / Hidden Power [Rock]

Extrasensory takes care of Fighting types. With maxed Speed and Timid Nature, Roserade should be able to take them out no problem, especially with Specs.

Energy Ball is for STAB.

Sludge Bomb is for STAB. Go with Shadow Ball if you want coverage against Psychic types.

HP Fire is for steel types, since all of your moves are ineffective against them. I use HP Fire because of common threats such as Ferrothorn, Forretress, and Scizor. HP Rock covers basically all your weaknesses except Psychic.

If something gives you a status, just switch out. Natural Cure will take care of your problem.

Comments

Umm, Extrasensory doesn't work super great, considering You already resist Fighting

---

Roserade doesn't exactly have stunning defenses though. Plus Flinching is a nice bonus that comes up. It's also a nice counter for other poisons types that can block out most of the set.

---

Forgot that Extrasensory can flinch

Answer 12

Roserade (M) @ Red Card
Trait: Poison Point
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Venoshock
- Toxic Spikes
- Spikes
- Giga Drain

a different version of trachys sets but he actually goes phazing around with red card with t-spikes and leech seed

Comments

If you Phaze, why have Leech Seed, as it expires when the foe switches? That's good :)

---

Same exact moveset as Trachy's Roselia.

---

Same moves, yes, but different Abilities, making them have different effectiveness. Besides J98, they're different Pokemon, but using the same moves. Nobody sued me for using a Choice Band on a Hydreigon paired with U-Turn. Also a different Ev spread, and also a different item. Movesets aren't just the moves a Pokemon has, but also the Evs, item, Nature, and Ability. So, it isn't the same exact moveset as trachy's Roselia.

Answer 13

Roserade @ Black Sludge

Trait: Natural Cure
Nature: Modest
Moveset:
-Sludge Bomb
-Giga Drain/Energy Ball
-Leech Seed
-Shadow Ball

Comments

Why lower spatk with adamant?

---

Tks :D

Answer 14

Roserade (M) @ Miracle Seed
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Energy Ball
- Toxic Spikes
- Sludge Bomb
- Synthesis

Answer 15

This flower packs a PUNCH!
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Technician/Natural-cure
Nature: Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Defense

---

Swords-dance
Razor-leaf/Bullet-seed
Poison-jab
Return

---

Swords-dance brings up that Attack stat. Razor-leaf is for if you go Technician because it is the only Physical Grass Type move it can learn in Gen V that is Technician boosted, Bullet-seed can be taught as a Gen IV TM, STAB. Poison-jab is STAB. Return is pretty much Roserade's only other Physical move. You are going to want to stay away from Steel types but this is a pretty strong flower if used correctly.

Answer 16

Sleeping Sweeper

Roserade @ Life Orb
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Modest (+SpAtk, -Atk)/ Timid (+Spd, -Atk)
EVS: 252 SpAtk/ 24 HP/ 232 Spd

---

• Hidden Power [fire]/ Hidden Power [ground]
• Sludge Bomb
• Giga Drain
• Sleep Powder

---

Hidden Power [fire] and Hidden Power [ground] are two of the best coverages Roserade can have. [Fire] hits defensive walls like Skarmory and Ferrothorn, while [ground] would be an option for Heatran, all of which would completely wall this set otherwise. Sludge Bomb is necessary to OHKO Shaymin and can 2HKO Dragonite, I believe. Not even Volcarona can switch in on that! No Roserade set is complete without Giga Drain. Giga Drain is the best move you can teach Roserade. While they're asleep, you can sap away all of their life and gain back lots of HP lost by Life Orb. Sleep Powder is effective because not many people expect a sweeper to know status moves. By having Natural Cure, if they try to paralyze you or put you to sleep, you can hop out and in, while other sweepers are effectively out of the game.

[This is a Smogon set edited]

Answer 17

Roserade @ Life ORb
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Timid
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe

• Giga Drain/Leaf Storm
• Sludge Bomb
• Hidden Power Fire
• Sleep Powder/Rest

Giga Drain and Leaf Storm are both STAB, it depends on if you want healing and the ability to stay in, or want more of a hit and runner.
Sludge Bomb rounds out the coverage hitting Fire types among other things and stuff and is STAB.
Hidden Power Fire gets good coverage along with Grass STAB, and hits Grass types.
Sleep Powder is an acceptable alternative if using Giga Drain, if using Leaf Storm go with Rest for some nice healing and a combo with Natural Cure.

Answer 18

Roserade @ Leftovers
Ability: Poison Point
Nature: Modest
-Toxic Spikes
-Giga Drain
-Leech Seed
-Venoshock

Toxic Spikes are very useful if you like entry hazards. Giga drain and leech seed are STAB and added with leftovers, Roserade will heal very quickly. Venoshock is also STAB, and if the foe is poisoned by poison point/toxic spikes it will do x2 damage.

Comments

I would probably forgo Poison Point. Roserade is frail, and it probably wouldn't be able to take any physical move that would activate Poison Point. Plus, Poison Point and Toxic Spikes on the same set is a little redundant.

Answer 19

Roserade
Ability Natural Care
Item Scope Lens
Moves GrassWhistle
Energy Ball
Grass Knot
Poison Jab

Answer 20

This will be the best move set for roserade
Giga drain-(33 lvl) in b/w it's base power is 75, and it restores half the H.P the opponent has lost
Petal Dance-(40 lvl) it has 120 base power,

these 2 moves can be learnt by roselia by level up only,so, evolve it at 40 lvl so that he/she will learn both the moves

shadow ball(TM)- incredible move,though it doesn't have stab,it will be useful in taking down psychic pokes
sludge bomb(TM)-one of the best poison type move with 90 base power and stab and has 10% of poisioning the foe

an advice for everyone,catch 4-5 budews or roselias and check their stats,level up the ones which has the best speed and special attack,regardless of it's nature(iv's play a major role)
and as soon as you caught a roselia/budew only battle with roselia/budew 255 times
it makes your Pokemons special attack higher than the normal ones(ev's also plays a major role)
I'm telling this because a roserade with 367 special attack is far better than a roserade with 281 sepcial attack

There is a way to control IVs and Natures. You can use RNG manipulation or check Pokémon Marriland’s article about Advanced Breeding.
