Roselia Information:

Roselia is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon with a max CP of 2114. Its evolutionary line is Budew → Roselia (25 Candies) → Roserade (100 Candies + Sinnoh Stone). Catching a Roselia yields 3 Candies and 100 Stardust. It's tradable within Pokémon GO and can be transferred to Pokémon Home.

It resists Electric, Fairy, Fighting, and Water-type moves (63% reduced damage taken), with Grass-type moves causing the least damage (39% reduced damage).
