**To use Roserade effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Grass/Poison type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Roserade appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Roserade fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Poison Point, Focus Sash and Timid 2/0/0/32/0/32. Its frequent moves include Sludge Bomb, Protect, Sleep Powder, Giga Drain, Leaf Storm, and Dazzling Gleam. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Roserade has important weaknesses to fire 2x, flying 2x, ice 2x, psychic 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Milotic, Spiritomb, Garchomp-Mega, Farigiraf, and Glaceon appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
