Roserade is an excellent utility Pokemon thanks to moves such as Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sleep Powder, and Stun Spore, the latter two of which are especially is useful for crippling the omnipresent Jirachi for teammates, as well as other Steel-types like Cobalion and Skarmory, and Noivern. Roserade also matches up well against common entry hazard removers such as Rotom-W and Galarian Weezing. However, despite being fearful of a potential Stun Spore or Sleep Powder, Jirachi is a major issue for Roserade, as it can easily switch into its STAB attacks and use it for free momentum or setup. If Roserade is not running Sleep Powder or another Pokemon is already asleep, other Steel-types such as Copperajah and Skarmory are also difficult for it to deal with. Furthermore, Roserade's frailty highly limits its opportunities to switch in, and it is easily forced out by common threats such as Obstagoon, Noivern, and Terrakion. This severely limits its ability to deal with Keldeo, as Choice Specs sets can 2HKO it with Secret Sword or Icy Wind. However, its good defensive typing allows it to switch into and check Rotom-W and Rotom-C. Toxic Spikes is an option over Spikes to better pressure passive teams, as Pokemon such as Milotic and Quagsire are more annoyed by them; however, Spikes is overall more consistent in wearing down opposing teams. Stun Spore allows Roserade to cripple faster Pokemon such as Jirachi, Noivern, and Cobalion for teammates while also hindering slower Pokemon such as Skarmory. Sleep Powder is an alternate option to put these Pokemon temporarily out of commission and, more importantly, shut down Skarmory better than Stun Spore; however, it's generally less consistent than the utility Stun Spore provides. Eject Pack is an option if running Leaf Storm to provide a one-time free switch to a teammate, but the loss of recovery greatly limits Roserade's longevity.

Teammates that appreciate Jirachi crippled are good to pair with Roserade, as a huge part of its niche is being able to lure Jirachi well. Dragon Dance Tyranitar appreciates Choice Scarf Jirachi being slower than it at +1, and it also appreciates Spikes support to wear down its checks like Keldeo and Colbur Berry Palossand. Similarly, Lycanroc-D benefits from Choice Scarf Jirachi and Noivern being paralyzed or put to sleep and can revenge kill faster threats such as Terrakion for Roserade. Skarmory is a huge issue for Roserade, as it can Defog away any Spikes Roserade sets up and doesn't mind being paralyzed as much as Jirachi, though it must be wary of Sleep Powder. Due to this, partners that can exploit or beat Skarmory such as mixed Jirachi, Toxtricity, and Rotom-Wash are good to have. Competitive Milotic can take advantage of Defog Skarmory and Noivern to use them for a +2 Special Attack boost. Mienshao is an excellent partner, being able to bring Roserade in against Palossand, Slowking, and Galarian Weezing with U-turn. In exchange, Roserade beats the aforementioned Palossand, Hatterene and Galarian Weezing, provides Spikes support, and can cripple Noivern for Mienshao. Other partners that love faster Pokemon being slowed down such as Obstagoon are also good options. Obstagoon also likes Skarmory being crippled by Stun Spore or Sleep Powder. Other entry hazard setters such as Jirachi, Krookodile, and Cobalion can also form a hazard stacking core with Roserade to wear down teams. Druddigon is a decent option for this, as it also has the added bonus of being able to chip down Jirachi while setting Stealth Rock. Kyurem loves revenge killers such as Jirachi and Noivern being paralyzed, appreciates Roserade's Spikes wearing down its checks, and can exploit Toxic Spikes if it's running Substitute + Roost to better deal with Sylveon and Umbreon.

Roserade is an excellent utility Pokemon thanks to moves such as Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sleep Powder, and Stun Spore. Stun Spore especially is useful for crippling the omnipresent Jirachi for teammates. you can tie the first two sentences together - "(...)Sleep Powder, and Stun Spore, the latter two of which are particularly useful for crippling the omnipresent Jirachi as well as other Steel-type checks like Cobalion and Doublade" or something along those lines Roserade also matches up well against common hazard removers such as Rotom-Wash and Galarian Weezing. Despite being fearful of a potential Stun Spore or Sleep Powder, however, Jirachi is a major issue for Roseade Roserade, as it can easily switch into it and use it for free momentum or setup extend this to other steels like raj too. Furthermore, Roserade's frailty highly limits its switch-in opportunities, and it is easily forced out by common threats such as Obstagoon, Noivern, and Terrakion. add a line here about how its good defensive typing means it can stlil switch into and check some things like the rotom forms, keldeo, milotic etc. Toxic Spikes is an option over Spikes to better pressure passive teams, however Spikes is overall more consistent in wearing down opposing teams. you can word this better to reflect how mons like quagsire and milotic HATE tspikes, whereas they can kind of shrug off spikes if needed Stun Spore allows Roserade to cripple faster Pokemon such as Jirachi, Noivern, and Cobalion for teammates, while also crippling slower Pokemon such as Skarmory. Sleep Powder is an alternate option to put these Pokemon temporarily out of commission, however it's generally less consistent than the utility Stun Spore provides.

Teammates who appreciate Jirachi crippled are good to pair with Roseade, as a huge part of its niche is being able to lure Jirachi well. Dragon Dance Tyranitar the GOAT oml appreciates Choice Scarf Jirachi being slower than it at +1, and appreciates Spikes support to wear down its checks like Keldeo and Colbur Berry Palossand. Similarly, Lycanroc-Dusk benefits from Choice Scarf Jirachi and Noivern being paralyzed or asleep put to sleep, and can revenge kill faster threats such as Terrakion for Roserade. Skarmory is a huge issue for Roserade, as it can potentially Defog away any Spikes and doesn't mind being paralyzed as much as Jirachi, though it must be wary of Sleep Powder. Due to this, partners who can exploit or beat Skarmory such as mixed Jirachi, Incineroar incin doesnt exploit skarm particularly well, add toxtricity here, and Rotom-Wash are good to have. Mienshao is an excellent partner, being able to bring Roserade in against Palossand and Galarian Weezing with U-Turn U-turn. In exchange, Roserade beats bulky Water-types shao is strong enough to not rly care abt bulky waters i'd just mention that it beats weezing and palo for it and maybe like hat, provides Spikes support, and can cripple Noivern for Mienshao. Other partners that love faster Pokemons being slowed down such as Obstagoon are also good options. mention that obsta also likes skarm being crippled

Roserade is an excellent utility Pokemon thanks to moves such as Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Sleep Powder, and Stun Spore, the latter two of which are especially is useful for crippling the omnipresent Jirachi for teammates, as well as other Steel-types like Cobalion and Skarmory. You can also mention how it can cripple Noivern too. Roserade also matches up well against common hazard removers such as Rotom-W and Galarian Weezing. Despite being fearful of a potential Stun Spore or Sleep Powder, however, Jirachi is a major issue for Roserade, as it can easily switch into it not really becuase Stun Spore, say it can switch into its STABs instead if you like and use it for free momentum or setup. Other Steel-types such as Copperajah and Skarmory are also difficult for Roserade to deal with I don't disagree but they do still give you a free Spike and fear Sleep Powder, since a Slept Skarmory can't really check Roserade's teammates properly, maybe try and reflect this by saying "if Roserade is not running Sleep Powder or another Pokemon is already asleep?". Furthermore, Roserade's frailty highly limits its switch-in opportunities, and is easily forced out by common threats such as Obstagoon, Noivern, and Terrakion. Mention also how this severely limits its ability to check Keldeo, since Specs can 2hko you with sacred sword / icy wind. However, its good defensive typing allows it to switch into and check Keldeo, Milotic, doesn't really check it reliably at all, even without a boost Comp milo does like 70% with Ice Beam and you have no recovery beyond Black Sludge and Rotom-C. Toxic Spikes is an option over Spikes to better pressure passive teams, as Pokemon such as Milotic and Quagsire are more annoyed by them, however Spikes is overall more consistent in wearing down opposing teams. Stun Spore allows Roserade to cripple faster Pokemon such as Jirachi, Noivern, and Cobalion for teammates, while also crippling slower Pokemon such as Skarmory. Sleep Powder is an alternate option to put these Pokemon temporarily out of commission, however it's generally less consistent than the utility Stun Spore provides. The crippling of Skarmory by Stun Spore isn't super consequential beyond hax, you should say how like Sleep Powder's main draw is actually shutting down Skarmory completely for teammates.

Mention Eject Pack as an option if running Leaf Storm.

Teammates who appreciate Jirachi crippled are good to pair with Roseade, as a huge part of its niche is being able to lure Jirachi well. Dragon Dance Tyranitar appreciates Choice Scarf Jirachi being slower than it at +1, and appreciates Spikes support to wear down its checks like Keldeo and Colbur Berry Palossand. Similarly, Lycanroc-Dusk benefits from Choice Scarf Jirachi and Noivern being paralyzed or put to sleep, and can revenge kill faster threats such as Terrakion for Roserade. Skarmory is a huge issue for Roserade, as it can potentially Defog away any Spikes and doesn't mind being paralyzed as much as Jirachi, though it must be wary of Sleep Powder. (*) Comp Milo stuff see below, solves this issue completely. Due to this, partners who can exploit or beat Skarmory such as mixed Jirachi, Toxtricity, and Rotom-Wash are good to have. Mienshao is an excellent partner, being able to bring Roserade in against Palossand and Galarian Weezing Slowking too with U-turn. In exchange, Roserade beats the aforementioned Palossand, Hatterene and Galarian Weezing, provides Spikes support, and can cripple Noivern for Mienshao. Other partners that love faster Pokemon being slowed down such as Obstagoon are also good options. Obstagoon also likes Skarmory being crippled by Stun Spore or Sleep Powder.

Mention competitive Milotic, switches into stuff like Noivern for Roserade and can take advantae of Noivern/Skarmory trying to Defog away its spikes. Perfect place to put it is here (*)

Mention some rocks setters that can form hazard stacking cores with Roserade. Druddigon is an excellent one to mention, since it switches into shit like Jirachi for Roserade, and can form a para-spam core with it too.

Give a mention to Kyurem, loves Jirachi/Noivern being paralysed and its an absolutely fantastic wallbreaker with Spikes support wearing down switch ins like Jirachi, SubRoost sets also likes Toxic Spikes being able to cripple a lot of its revenge killers so that they can be SubRoost stalled later.
