History

As a Roselia

Roserade is one of Drew's strongest Pokémon, and for a while it was the only one he used in battle. It helped him with several contests, and it even defeated Ash's Taillow in a battle the two had, despite a clear type advantage on Ash's part.

As more of Drew's Pokémon were revealed, he began to use Roselia less often. However, he didn't stop using it completely. It was one of the Pokémon that he used to defeat May in the Hoenn Grand Festival. He also used it in his last Kanto battle against May in The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing.

May revealed in A Full Course Tag Battle! that Roselia accompanied Drew to Johto, where it evidently evolved, as it is shown as a Roserade in her flashback and when it appeared watching the finals of the Wallace Cup with Drew, Solidad and Harley in Strategy With a Smile!.

Trivia

• As a Roselia, its size was inconsistent between episodes but always much larger than regular Roselia.
• Each of the three times May battled against it, she has lost even though most of her Pokémon that participated had the type advantage.
• It is the only one of Drew's Pokémon that has been seen in two evolutionary stages.
