Not quite. Tied with Dwebble and beaten by Venipede and Trubbish.

Oh. Then Budew sucks. The only thing it's decent at is Spiking, and that's outclassed by Dwebble due to access to SR and Sturdy.

On the bright side, it does have a little something to its name. It's the only Grass type Spiker in LC besides Cacnea, who would much rather go offensive. Its Grass/Poison typing does give it some decent resistances, and its special bulk isn't too bad. There's also Natural Cure + Rest, which allows it to stay alive a lot longer. Shelmet might have more bulk and more reliable recovery, but at least Budew has more offensive potential.

Yeah, it's not much, but whatever.

I'd rather use Shelmet if I wanted a Fighting resist. And Shelmet has base 40, Budew is 50. Energy Ball, Sludge Bomb, Leaf Storm, Shadow Ball, Extrasensory. That's pretty much it for Budew, though admittedly Shelmet only ever runs Bug Buzz for attacking moves.

Budew has worse physical bulk than Zorua.

It's probably best to use a offensive AND defensive strategy with roserade. We all love its special attack, but it's moves are just a tad lacking.

~Rest
252 HP 132SAtk 120SDef? or 252 SDef? Man I don't know.

Let's try to abuse that Rest+NC the best we can shall we?
