[Set]
Set name: Special Wall
Move 1: Spikes
Move 2: Synthesis/ Rest
Move 3: Giga Drain
Move 4: Leech Seed/ Toxic Spikes/ Sludge Bomb
Item: Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 SpD/ 4 SpA
[Set Comments]
-The given nature and EVs give Roselia a very nice 304 HP as well as an absolutely amazing 426 Sp. Def.
-Sadly, it has a measly 189 Def, making it hard for Roselia to take hits from both ends of the spectrum.
-Poison typing allows for Roselia to safely remove Toxic Spikes
-Spikes allows it to be able to reliably set up hazards in a metagame where spinners are very rare
-Synthesis is one of the four forms of recovery Roselia has, although it suffers from low PP.
-Rest grants more recovery and more opportunities to heal to Roselia, but it forces you to switch out for Natural Cure to activate
-Giga Drain is not the most reliable recovery, but it does surprising damage with Roselia's 237 Sp. Atk
-Leech Seed allows for residual damage and a usable way of recovery for Roselia
-Toxic Spikes can be used, but is rather useless on an offensive team
-Sludge Bomb can give it a nice secondary STAB, but the other two moves are usually more reliable
[Additional Comments]
-This set works best on an offensive team, setting up hazards while still retaining some momentum against the majority of special attackers
-Roselia competes with Scolipede for this team slot, but Roselia has superior bulk and can come in and out of battle much more easily than Scolipede can.
-This set can also be used to annihilate many annoying walls such as Quagsire, Defensive Rhydon, and others
[Set]
Set name: Offensive
Move 1:Sludge Bomb
Move 2: Giga Drain/ Leaf Storm
Move 3: Synthesis
Move 4: Spikes/ Sleep Powder/ Toxic Spikes
Item: Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Modest
EVs: 132 HP/ 252 SpA/ 124 Spe
[Set Comments]
-This set focuses on Roselia's base 100 SpA, catching opponents off-gaurd and possibly taking out an opponent's Pokémon while still being bulky.
-Sludge Bomb is Roselia's primary STAB, giving very good coverage due to the lack of many Steel types in NU
-Giga Drain or Leaf Storm give a nice secondary STAB to hit Ground and Rock types that resist Sludge Bomb
-Synthesis allows Roselia to have important recovery to continue attacking
-Spikes can also be used to support the team with hazards
[Additional Comments]
-An EV spread of 252 SpA/ 252 Spe/ 4 SpD can work with a Timid nature. This spread sacrifices bulk to be able to outspeed neutral base 75's, an example of which is Absol
-Leaf Storm is illegal with Spikes, so if you decide to run Leaf Storm, you must use Sleep Powder or TSpikes.
-Sleep Powder is usually the superior option to Toxic Spikes, but they can definitely help if you are running a Stall team.
[Set]
Set name: Dedicated Supporter
Move 1: Aromatherapy
Move 2: Leech Seed/ Toxic Spikes
Move 3: Sleep Powder
Move 4: Giga Drain
Item: Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
Nature: Calm
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 SpD/ 4 Def
[Set Comments]
-Aromatherapy can heal burns on things like Klinklang and Sawk, as well as paralysis and toxic
-Spikes is illegal with Sleep Powder, while Toxic Spikes is not
-Sleep Powder can incapacitate a threat to another sweeper on your team
-Giga Drain makes it not complete Taunt fodder
[Additional Comments]
-This set is meant to keep teammates alive, while the first set is meant to keep Roselia on the field as long as possible
-This set is best for offensive teams as well, as it can heal sweepers like Klinklang from a Burn/paralysis and turn an opponent's poke into set-up fodder
[Other Options]
-Leaf Storm can be used on the defensive sets for harder hitting
-Cotton Spore can dampen a sweeper's potential (it does not get TWave)
-Can run Toxic, as well as the somewhat gimmicky Toxic + Venoshock combo
-Able to set up both Sun and Rain
-HP Ground can be used to hit Klinklang/ Magneton (the latter of which is stalled out by Leech Seed + Recovery though) when they try to set up on you.
[Checks and Counters]
-most physical attackers
-most Psychic types (Gardevoir, Mesprit, Jynx)
-does nothing against Hail
-Magmortar
-Miltank uses it as set-up fodder
[Dream World]
Roselia gets the ability Leaf Gaurd from the Dream World. However, this ability should never be considered on Roselia. Since there is no auto-Sun in NU, Sunny Day must be used. Furthermore, Natural Cure completely outclasses it as an ability, as it works in any weather.
