Strategy Overview

Roselia is one of few Pokemon in NU that has access to Spikes, which it can set up reliably thanks to its Grass-, Water-, and Electric-type resistances and good special bulk with Eviolite. Its typing and relatively high Special Attack also allow her to stop various Pokemon in NU, such as Ludicolo, Alomomola, and Seismitoad. Unfortunately, Roselia's Defense is rather lackluster even with Eviolite, leaving it vulnerable to common physical attacks, such as those from Kangaskhan and Sawk. Roselia also faces competition as a Spiker from Garbodor, which has better physical bulk to tank Fighting- and Bug-type attacks.
