Pokemon Legends ZA There are many different species that you can capture and train, View is one of the Pokemon that evolves using a special method, so here in this guide, players will learn everything they need to know about this Grass-type Pokemon, how to turn it into Roselia, and how to evolve Roselia into Roserade.
Budew is a shy and small baby Pokémon, so getting it isn't easy. They run away at the slightest glance from their handlers, and only spawn in certain special locations on bright days. Well then, shall we check first? Where Budew is created And the best tactic to catch it is Pokemon Legends ZA.
How to Find and Catch Budew in Pokemon Legends ZA
Budew is a Grass-type Pokémon that spawns at all times of the day, only in certain Wild Zones and special locations in Lumiose. They are afraid of humans and prefer isolated places where they can access sunlight, so they immediately run away when they spot their handler approaching. Players can find Budew spawning in Wild Zone 2, unlocked after completing Main Mission 5. The spot is right near the Zone's main gate and is easy to spot because another trainer (NPC) is kneeling behind a bush trying to catch Budew.
If players want more options for catching Budew (or Shiny Hunting), they should try it on the rooftops of buildings around Wild Area 2 in the Vert District. Budew, along with other species such as Vivillon, Pidgey and even the elusive Cleffa, love to run around terraces with plenty of flower pots and places to hide.
Evolutions in Legends ZA are a major departure from previous games, and players can now control how and when their Pokémon evolve (Everstone is no longer needed).
How to Evolve Budew in Pokemon Legends ZA
To evolve Budew into Roselia in Pokemon Legends ZA, players must maximize their friendship and level it up during the day. If done correctly, an evolution symbol will appear above the Budew thumbnail in the menu.
To maximize Budew's friendship level, players must have it as an active Pokémon in their party, then go to any cafe and drink 3-4 cups of tea (Roselade Tea works best) with this Pokémon as a partner. Once Budew's friendship level reaches maximum, you'll need to level it up by fighting or catching wild Pokémon, breaking Mega Crystals, or using XP Candies/Rare Candies (it doesn't matter, as long as it happens during the day).
Once Budew transforms into Roselia, players can use a Shine Stone purchased from the Stone Emporium to evolve it into Roserade. Roserade is a good Grass-type Pokémon, but it is not one of the best Pokémon for battle, as its stats and movepool are not very good, and its type compatibility is greatly disadvantaged against a single Grass-type. Roserade's like Beedrill (including Mega Evolution), Pidgeot (same), and all the Fire Mega Evolutions (Mega Charizard There are too many counters.
Players will need to complete many research challenges for Mable, one of which involves completing the Pokedex and catching a certain number of grass-type species, so Roserade will get players one step closer to ranks 50 and 51, where they can earn the best rewards in the game: the Master Ball and Shiny Amulet.
