Budew (Japanese: スボミー Subomie) is a dual-type Grass/Poison Pokémon.

It evolves into Roselia by happiness during the day, who evolves into Roserade by Template:Stone.

Biology

Physiology

Nando's Budew about to use SolarBeam; note the spots in Budew's vines are blue and red

At first glance, Budew barely has any similarities to its evolved forms, Roselia and Roserade. However, when the two "vines" that are on top of Budew's head open up, a big spot can be seen on each vine (one that is blue and the other being red). As a matter of fact, the two vines are actually what will be the Pokémon's flower-holding arms when it evolves into Roselia. Budew also appears to be wearing a green bib. This will become a skirt once it evolves.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Budew can basically do almost anything Roselia and Roserade are capable of, but its abilities are usually weaker. However, the Water Sport and Worry Seed attacks can only be learned by Budew.

Habitat

Budew live close to freshwater ponds.

Another appeared in Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan in Forsythia's flashback, which later became her Roserade.

Budew was also seen under Reggie's care in Lost Leader Strategy!.

Several Budew made an appearance in The Rise of Darkrai.
