Roserade 13/130 · Diamond & Pearl

Diamond & Pearl is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on May 1, 2007. The printed size is 130, and the checklist is the same length. Roserade is 13/130, in position 13 of 130 on this checklist. Before it is 12 Rhyperior, and after it is 14 Shiftry. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Roserade is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 33. In the Pokédex this is Roserade (#407), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Roselia. In this catalog that name is Roselia (#315).

Nakaoka illustrated this card. The same name is on 46 other cards in the catalog.

Roserade (#407) has 16 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Roserade 17/132 in Secret Wonders (2007). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Nakaoka illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Roserade list a different HP.

The attack Poison Sting lists 30 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass. The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. Spike Whip is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Grass, Grass, Colorless. If Budew is anywhere under Roserade, choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire +20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It attracts prey with a sweet aroma, then downs it with thorny whips hidden in its arms."

I keep a set binder for Diamond & Pearl, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Diamond & Pearl set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Roserade can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
