In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, having a Roserade as a part of your team as you go to take the title of League Champion is almost a must. They're a strong grass-type with powerful moves, and their pre-evolutions - Budew and Roselia - are not too hard to get your hands on either.
In this guide, we explain how to get a Budew or Roselia, and evolve them into Roserade.

How To Get Roselia
Roselia is an easy encounter in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and their pre-evolution, Budew, even more so. Here are a list of places where the Pokémon can be found:
- Trophy Garden
- Route 212
- Route 221
- Route 224
- Route 225
- Route 229
- Grand Underground: Bogsunk Cavern, Sunlit Cavern, Grassland Cave, and Swampy Cave.
Personally, we have found that Roselia's are most common in the Trophy Garden. Alongside the likes of Pikachu, too!
How To Evolve Roselia Into Roserade
To get a Roserade in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the evolution path is as follows. If starting with a Budew, it'll evolve into Roselia with a high friendship level when levelling up during the daytime. Then, to evolve a Roselia, you'll need to acquire a Shiny Stone from the Grand Underground and give it to Roselia, so they can evolve into Roserade.
