Is Roserade Good in Pokemon GO Battles?


Roserade's performance in Pokemon GO battles depends on the league and opponent:

  • Ultra League: Roserade is most effective here, thanks to its strong moves and typing.
  • Great League: It is less viable due to competition from other Grass/Poison-types like Venusaur.
  • Master League: Roserade struggles against the league's top contenders.

Roserade is an attack-focused glass cannon, dealing significant damage but unable to withstand many hits. Its moves can pressure opponents to switch or use shields.

In PvE, Roserade excels against raid bosses weak to Grass moves, such as Swampert. However, it is not the best choice for defending gyms due to its low bulk.
