Roserade
Protects your active Pokémon from retreating.
What this card does
If Roserade is damaged by an attack and Knocked Out, it poisons the attacker.
Prevents the defending Pokémon from retreating during your opponent's next turn.
Poison Point
If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned.
Poison Point makes sure attackers get hurt when they hit you, while Bind Down stops them from running away too easily. Both are valuable in keeping pressure on your opponent.
Attacks
During your opponent's next turn, the Defending Pokémon can't retreat.
Abilities
If this Pokémon is in the Active Spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent's Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), the Attacking Pokémon is now Poisoned.
Which deck it belongs in
Works well in control decks where you want to keep the game going and apply continuous pressure with poison effects.
- •Poisons attackers
- •Prevents retreat
- •Weak against Fire types
- •Only Stage 1, so limited in versatility
Use Roserade's ability to set up poison conditions and then follow up with attacks that exploit those conditions.
Roserade uses its thorny leaves to inject a powerful toxin into any creature that dares to attack it.
Roserade is a great addition for decks that rely on poisoning opponents or stopping their Pokémon from retreating easily.
