Generation IV identity and base stats

Roselia is Sinnoh #026 and National #315. Its Platinum typing is Grass / Poison. The stats below describe its standard Platinum form on the original Nintendo DS cartridge. Later Fairy typing, stat buffs and Hidden Abilities are excluded.

The existing Platinum sprite shows its standard Platinum form; gender, cloak or alternate forms can have different appearances.

Roselia Generation IV base stats
Stat	Base value
HP	50
Attack	60
Defense	45
Sp. Atk	100
Sp. Def	80
Speed	65
Total	400

Where to obtain it in Platinum

Check the location, method and conditions before travelling. A gift, trade, Honey Tree, daily replacement or stationary interaction is different from ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching documented encounter slots.

These records are filtered to Platinum. Time, Poké Radar, swarm, GBA insertion, daily and story conditions remain separate. Postgame areas require their story access; no listed area is promised to be open on a fresh save.

Evolution family and Generation IV requirements

Roselia regional evolution family
From	Into	Platinum method
Budew	Roselia	Level up with friendship of at least 220 (Generation IV) during daytime
Roselia	Roserade	Use Shiny Stone

Friendship evolution uses the original threshold of 220. Held-item trades need a compatible second game and system. Platinum uses special rocks, Mt. Coronet magnetic evolutions, learned-move requirements and Beauty rather than later replacement methods.

Original abilities, breeding and training

Roselia Generation IV ability slots
Ability	Original slot
Natural Cure	Regular ability slot 1
Poison Point	Regular ability slot 2

Hidden Abilities did not exist in Generation IV. The table restores original ability slots where a species changed in later games; an ability’s modern behavior must not be assumed to match Platinum.

Roselia breeding and training facts
Property	Value
Gender ratio	50% female / 50% male
Egg group(s)	Fairy / Grass
Base hatch cycles	20
Experience growth	Medium Slow
Base capture rate	150 / 255 (not a percentage chance)
EV yield when defeated	Special Attack +2

The Solaceon Town Day Care supports breeding before the League. Undiscovered species cannot produce Eggs. Some baby forms require the matching incense on a parent, while trade evolutions still need the trade rather than only a Day Care level.

Platinum breeding, EV, IV and nature rules

Platinum level-up moves

Roselia exact Platinum level-up learnset
Level	Move
1 / starting move	Absorb
4	Growth
7	Poison Sting
10	Stun Spore

28	Toxic Spikes
31	Sweet Scent
34	Ingrain
37	Toxic
40	Petal Dance
43	Aromatherapy

Every row uses the Platinum version group. Level 1 moves include starting and reminder moves; a later caught specimen need not already know every entry. Evolution timing affects which stage learns a move. Pastoria’s Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

Platinum TMs are single-use: teaching one consumes that copy. HMs are reusable and require the Move Deleter to be forgotten. Defog is HM05 and Rock Climb is HM08; these are the Generation IV field moves, with their own badge requirements.

FIELD NOTE
