Roserade is a fantastic special attacker and entry hazard setter in the PU metagame. It can easily set hazards against common bulky Water- and Fairy-types such as Vaporeon, Lanturn, and Aromatisse. Spikes wears down Steel- and Poison-types that resist Roserade's attacks, such as Toxicroak and Silvally-Steel, while Toxic Spikes can cripple Pokémon like Audino. Leaf Storm does heavy damage generally and threatens Pokémon such as Gigalith and Jellicent. Sludge Bomb hits the likes of Talonflame, Virizion, and Guzzlord. Sleep Powder incapacitates Roserade's switch-ins, such as Togedemaru and Silvally-Steel. Life Orb gives Roserade more power, allowing it to 2HKO offensive Guzzlord, but Eject Pack is useful to allow a teammate to come in freely after a Leaf Storm. Black Sludge is also an option for more longevity, making use of Roserade's useful typing. Roserade enjoys partners that can deal with Fire-, Flying-, and Steel-types; Lanturn and Regirock handle Talonflame and Scyther, while Charizard and Silvally-Ground deal with Silvally-Steel. Wallbreakers such as Silvally-Fairy and Guzzlord are also good partners, as they also enjoy Spikes weakening Steel-types.

Roserade is a fantastic special attacker and hazards setter in the PU metagame. Thanks to its typing and natural bulk rose hella frail, it can find opportunities to come in bulky Water- and Fairy-types, such as Vaporeon, Lanturn, and Aromatisse, and set up hazards could probably reword this to be less lengthy and mention the typing below since this is already above word count. Spikes is generally the most useful hazard, weakening Steel- and Poison-types that resist Roserade's STAB combination, such as Toxicroak and Silvally-Steel, while Toxic Spikes can cripple Pokémon like Musharna Assualt Vest Guzzlord and/or Audino would fit better, Musharna doesn't really hold up now. Leaf Storm does heavy damage to everything that doesn't resist it, threatening common Pokémon such as Gigalith and Jellicent. Sludge Bomb hits the likes of Talonflame, Charizard, Virizion, and Guzzlord. Sleep Powder can to incapacitate some of Roserade's answers on the switch, such as Golbat Togedemaru and Silvally Steel. Life Orb gives Roserade more power if it isn't too much examples of Pokemon that don't appreciate the LO strength would be good here, but Eject Pack can be useful to allow a teammate to come in freely after a Leaf Storm. Black Sludge is also an option for more longevity and helps it take advantage of its typing defensively. Roserade enjoys teammates that can deal with Fire, Flying and Steel types. Lanturn and Vaporeon can handle Talonflame and Charizard, while Sandaconda Charizard or Silvally-Ground deals with Silvally-Steel. Wallbreakers and sweepers, such as Silvally-Fairy, Sneasel, and Guzzlords are also good partners, as they enjoy Spikes weakening its checks if possible examples would help here too, probably could mention mons to help vs checks like Scyther or Sneasel too.

qc 1/1 nice work, lmk if character limit is still a nuisance i can help on disc

GP 1/1 if you're fine with my character count-motivated change. If not, let me know what you did and I'll re-stamp it.
