Read more ↓Budew, the Bud Pokémon, is a Grass/Poison-type introduced in Generation IV. It evolves into Roselia when leveled up with high friendship during the daytime, and Roselia further evolves into Roserade with a Shiny Stone. Budew is characterized by its small, green, bud-like appearance, often found in grassy areas and flower fields throughout various Pokémon regions. Its two main buds, one blue and one red, are said to contain different types of pollen. In the games, Budew is a common sight in early routes, offering trainers a gentle introduction to Grass and Poison types. In the anime, Budew often appears in episodes focusing on natural environments, sometimes playing a role in highlighting environmental themes or showcasing its evolutionary line's beauty. Its design, reminiscent of a plant bud, symbolizes growth and new beginnings, making it a popular choice for trainers who appreciate cute and nature-inspired Pokémon. Budew's dual typing gives it unique matchups, being weak to Fire, Psychic, Flying, and Ice, but resistant to Grass, Fighting, Water, Electric, and Fairy. This balance makes it a strategic choice in early-game battles.
