Strategy & play
How Roserade GL plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Inflicts Poison — guaranteed chip damage every turn between turns (no coin flip). It stacks with your attack math to cross KO thresholds the attack alone misses.
- Its main attack (Long Whip) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
- Needs Grass Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥40 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
How to beat Roserade GL
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥40 damage one-shots it.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Roserade GL is real?
Roserade GL is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.

For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
