RoseliaDragons Exalted #12 Pokémon Card

Roselia is a graceful Grass/Poison type Pokémon, first introduced in Generation III with the Hoenn region. It evolves from Budew when leveled up with high friendship during the daytime, and then evolves into Roserade when exposed to a Shiny Stone. Known as the Thorn Pokémon, Roselia is characterized by the two roses it holds in its hands—one red and one blue. These flowers are not just for show; they are integral to its biology and abilities. Roselia's natural habitat includes grassy fields and forests, where it can often be found basking in sunlight, absorbing nutrients through its leaves. Its diet primarily consists of water and sunlight, much like a plant, but it also draws energy from the soil. Behaviorally, Roselia is generally peaceful but can unleash a barrage of thorns if threatened, showcasing its dual nature. Its flowers emit a sweet aroma that can relax people, but prolonged exposure or contact with the thorns can cause a potent toxin to enter the body. In the games, Roselia often serves as a reliable early to mid-game Grass-type, evolving into the powerful Roserade which sees competitive play. In the anime, Roselia is often depicted as elegant and gentle, frequently appearing alongside coordinators and gardeners, highlighting its beauty and utility. Its cultural significance lies in its representation of natural beauty combined with hidden danger, a common theme in folklore and mythology.
