Strategy & play
How Roserade plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is Ability-based draw/search. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Inflicts Poison — guaranteed chip damage every turn between turns (no coin flip). It stacks with your attack math to cross KO thresholds the attack alone misses.
- Inflicts Confusion — they must flip to attack (tails fails and deals 30 to themselves). Soft, coin-flip disruption.
- Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Roserade
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

About this card
"Its sweet aroma attracts prey. Then it spews poison. The more toxic it is, the sweeter its aroma."

If you attach a Grass Energy card, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. If you attach a Psychic Energy card, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. This power can't be used if Roserade is affected by a Special Condition.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Roserade is real?
Roserade is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
