Learn how to use Roserade while battling in the Pokemon Legends Z-A meta with information about its moveset and nature.
Roserade is a Grass/Poison-type Pokemon first introduced in Generation IV. Its best role since its introduction has been to act as a Special Attacking hazard setter. So, let’s see if Roserade can still perform a similar function in the Legends Z-A meta.
Best Roserade Build in Pokemon Legends Z-A
Here is the best Roserade build that you can use in Pokemon Legends Z-A for any purpose:
Best Moveset
- Giga Drain
- Toxic Spikes
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
Nature
- Timid (+Spe, -Atk)
Held Item
- Big Root
Roserade still has access to both Spikes and Toxic Spikes, making it a useful hazard setter. Additionally, draining moves like Giga Drain and Leech Seed are excellent in the Legends Z-A meta, so it can both deal damage as well as heal itself at the same time.
Be wary of switching into Fire, Ice, Flying, and Psychic moves as Roserade takes super-effective damage from them.
Best Moveset For Roserade in Pokemon Legends Z-A
For PvP, you should use the following moveset on Roserade in Pokemon Legends Z-A:
- Giga Drain
- Toxic Spikes
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
Giga Drain provides Grass-type STAB, which deals damage and heals Roserade. It learns the move at level 30. Toxic Spikes, learnt at level 22, will poison the opponent’s Pokemon upon switching and will chip away at them. Arguably, this is the first move Roserade should click upon switching in. Spikes is an alternative that will chip away at any grounded Pokemon.
Roserade learns the move via TM088, which is a reward from the side mission “Watch Out for Traps.” Finally, Leech Seed will drain the opponent’s health over time while healing Roserade. However, Roserade can switch in an ally for them to get the benefits as well. It learns Leech Seed at level 10.
Give Roserade a Big Root to hold, as this increases the damage and healing of Giga Drain and Leech Seed by 30%. You get the Big Root as a reward for completing the side mission “Hit and Heal.”
Best Roserade Nature in Pokemon Legends Z-A
Go with a Timid (+Spe, -Atk) nature, giving Roserade a decent boost to its movement Speed. Since Roserade has a respectable Special Attack stat of 125, it can forgo the boost it would get from a Modest (+SpA, -Atk) nature. You can get a Timid Mint from a vendor in Vert Sector 6.
Best Team Composition With Roserade For Ranked Matches in Pokemon Legends Z-A
The following Pokemon pair well with Roserade for PvP ranked matches in Pokemon Legends Z-A:
Garchomp and Metagross are two of the best Pokemon in the meta, capable of functioning even with Mega Evolving. Garchomp handles the Fire-types that trouble Roserade, while Metagross resists the rest of Roserade’s weaknesses. In return, Roserade makes it easier for the two pseudo Legendaries to KO their opponents by weakening them with chip damage from hazards and Leech Seed.
Best Team Composition With Roserade For Pokemon Legends Z-A PvE
Here is the best team with Roserade for the story mode:
This team provides a wide variety of types that not only cover each other but also benefits greatly from Roserade’s “Spike and Seed” support.
