For those that play Platinum, Is this a good move set for a Roserade?

Attract
Toxic
Sunny Day
Solarbeam

That is the opposite of good.

You have no attacks for those that resist your grass type.

Poison STAB is an asset that shouldn't be ignored on Roserade, in my opinion, and for example.


Attract is pretty useless too, since you'll only be able to use it half the time and there are countermeasures against it.

-sunny day
-solar beam

+grass knot
+toxic spikes/sleep powder

Poison isn't a good attacking type, it's only effective on Grass-types. Sure, there's STAB, but Poison is resisted by a lot of elements too.

Attract is a gimmicky move that only works half the time, don't bother with it.

Go for Toxic Spikes rather than normal Toxic so you can spread it to other members of their team, and get good speed on it before it dies.

Leaf Storm/Grass Knot, Weather Ball, Hidden Power (Fire) are all good attacking moves for it

Also Sunny Day/Solarbeam isnt' really efficient with Roserade since it doesn't get any boosts from it

I don't think so.

I still think poison should kill water types

just imagine

This.

You need other attacks for other pokemon too.

Just having grass moves will get you killed.

I like Grass Knot and Toxic Spikes- I don't think I'm still gonna go with Sunny Day and Solarbeam.

Then again:

Solarbeam
Wheather Ball
Sunny Day
Sleep Powder

Don't diss the Poison types, man!

grass fire gets dragowned, but hey if it's just in game and not really for battling

well it doesn't matter too much. The CPU can't see through sunny day combos.
