Tag: Roserade

I use my gardevoir, roserade, and tsareena in Pokémon contests. While usually they get along fantastically, my tsareena and roserade and been getting in a lot of swabbles recently over routines. I keep telling them it doesn’t Matter who goes where but they keep arguing over it and we can’t get any work on our routine done. What should I do?

It may be prudent to draft a new routine if you can, one that takes into consideration both of your pokémon’s concerns or avoids putting them in such situations altogether. This may be the best option, as it seems that your pokémon get along except for this, meaning a compromise and creating a routine they both can agree on may be easier to accomplish than you might think.

Alternatively, if the squabbling is actually grave and affecting their relationship—or if it’s too late to draft a new routine—consider working on your pokémon’s cooperation via team building exercises. Require them to perform tasks together off the contest stage, and try using them in non-contest double battles. The more you can drive them to work together outside of the contest hall, the more they’ll be forced to put aside their differences or otherwise reconcile enough to complete each task.

Also, work with them off the battlefield as a mediator. Guide them into learning how to reach compromises and settle their arguments without spending considerable amounts of time squabbling.

It will most definitely take a lot of patience on your end, anonymous, but with a gentle but firm hand guiding them, you should be able to help them work something out.

Best of luck!

The Roselia Line

Budew
The Bud Pokémon
Type: Grass/Poison
Official Registration #: 406
Entry: This small, bud-like pokémon is often seen sitting by sources of clean water, waiting for sunny days. When it feels the sun on its leaves, it opens its flower to release pollen to gently scatter about its body. Of course, as readers may expect having read this blog for this long, by “pollen,” the author means “Stun Spore and possibly Worry Seed,” and by “to gently scatter about its body,” he means “to stun and subsequently maim any human who thought he would be perfectly fine if he just got another foot closer so that he may study them for the sake of science.”

Roselia
The Thorn Pokémon
Type: Grass/Poison
Official Registration #: 315
Entry: The evolved form of budew, as a result of a heightened sense of happiness and exposure to sunlight. Roselia’s vibrantly colored, rose-shaped hands release a splendid aroma capable of soothing even the most stressed human. However, these hands also conceal sharp thorns in place of stamens, anthers, or digits. These thorns are hollow and contain two different types of venom, both of which are capable of rendering the healthiest human unconscious in a matter of seconds. Likewise, its crown of thorns contains a third poison capable of doing the same, and roselia as a whole use this collection of thorns, in combination with their alluring scent, to hunt. Thus, if someone tells you to “stop and smell the roses,” it is best to assume that they hate you and wish for you to be stabbed in the face repeatedly.

Roserade
The Bouquet Pokémon
Type: Grass/Poison
Official Registration #: 407
Entry: The evolved form of roselia, by exposure to shiny stone. Elegant and nimble, roserade is prized for its disarming talents. Beyond the alluring scent it has inherited from its preevolved form, roserade is capable of dancing across battlefields and striking with incredible speed and precision using poisonous, binding whips. However, seeing as roserade cannot actually learn Vine Whip and seeing as Poison Whip is not a valid move as far as any league is concerned, this information is basically useless to trainers.
