CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Roselia releases a soothing fragrance from the flowers replacing its hands. The strength of this scent also indicates its health. But picking its flowers would be unwise: it can fire its thorns, and each hand carries a different poison. In rare growing conditions, the flowers develop unusual colors. The Pokédex thus connects beauty, habitat and defense in a species that looks delicate from a distance.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Shield notes that Roselia's two hands secrete distinct poisons. Pokémon Sword links the strength of its fragrance to its health. Its flowers are therefore both a sign of vitality and defensive organs best left untouched.
