Stats & Training
Roselia's built around special offense. Sp. Atk leads the charge, Defense pays for it. Common in the wild, worth 2 Sp. Atk EVs. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Its flowers give off a relaxing fragrance. The stronger its aroma, the healthier the Roselia is.
It uses the different poisons in each hand separately when it attacks. The stronger its aroma, the healthier it is.
Roselia Weakness
Roselia's Grass/Poison typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Ice, Flying, and Psychic. It resists 5 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. Roselia's special bulk (base 80 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Sword & Shield Evolution
Roselia is partway through a three-stage line between Budew and Roserade. The chain involves an evolution item, so it's not a straightforward grind. So far, Sp.Atk got the biggest boost (+50 from Budew). The final form adds another 115 stats on top. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Roselia to get Budew eggs easily using 43 partners from the Fairy and Plant egg groups. Notable egg moves include Cotton Spore, Extrasensory, Life Dew and 2 more.

Roselia Guide
In Sword & Shield, Roselia isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Roserade to unlock its full potential. At 400 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.
In Sword & Shield, Run Natural Cure on Roselia. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Roselia also gets Poison Point and Leaf Guard, but they don't compare.
In Sword & Shield, Roselia fills the attacker role. It's a special attacker with base 100 Sp. Atk. At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
Game Availability
Roselia has been available in 16 games since Ruby & Sapphire, though obtaining it requires an item-based evolution. This extra step makes it less common than Pokemon found through standard wild encounters.
