Find Roselia’s Ruby/Sapphire encounters, original Grass/Poison typing, Generation III stats, ability slots, evolutions, breeding and exact-version moves.

Edition covered

Original Pokémon Ruby Version and Pokémon Sapphire Version for Game Boy Advance. Version-specific encounters and story roles are labelled. Emerald and the Nintendo 3DS remakes have separate rules and progression.

01

Generation III identity and base stats

Roselia is Hoenn #094 and National #315. Its original Ruby/Sapphire typing is Grass / Poison. The picture and base stats describe its original Generation III form on Game Boy Advance. Later Fairy typing, stat increases and evolutions are excluded.

Base stats describe the species; level, IVs, EVs and nature determine an individual’s actual battle stats.

Where to obtain it in Ruby and Sapphire

Roselia has no evolution in Ruby/Sapphire. Budew and Roserade were introduced in Generation IV; their incense and stone methods are absent.

These records include only Ruby and Sapphire. Story flags, field moves, historical access and exceptional encounters retain their conditions; a listed location is not necessarily open on a new save.

Use the Route 117 Day Care. Eggs hatch at Lv.5; Undiscovered-group Pokémon do not breed. Incense changes the baby result for the Marill and Wobbuffet families. Ruby/Sapphire do not have Emerald’s Everstone nature inheritance or Volt Tackle breeding, and no native Ditto catch is available.

Every row uses the original Ruby/Sapphire version group. Lv.1 entries include starting or reminder moves; a caught specimen need not know all listed moves. The Fallarbor Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale for an eligible level-up move.

Original TMs are consumed after use; HMs are reusable and require the relevant badges for field use. The Lilycove Move Deleter can remove HM moves. Generation III assigns damaging moves by type: Normal, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Ground, Rock, Bug, Ghost and Steel use Attack; Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Ice, Dragon and Dark use Sp. Atk. Status moves remain status moves.

Egg moves and original move services

Recorded Ruby/Sapphire Egg moves: Cotton Spore, Pin Missile, Spikes, Synthesis.

The father passes eligible Egg moves and compatible TM/HM moves; both parents knowing an eligible level-up move can also pass it. The Fallarbor reminder does not teach arbitrary Egg moves. Emerald’s additional move tutors and Battle Frontier are absent from Ruby/Sapphire.

For this Pokémon’s types, damaging Grass moves are special; Poison moves are physical. A move’s individual modern damage class must not replace the original type rule.
