Budew is a Grass-type Pokémon prominently found in the Eterna Forest. However, you can occasionally spot one in Route 204 (on your way to Jubilife City). If you didn’t get Piplup as your starter, a Budew is essential to beating gym leader Roark.
But is it worth keeping Budew around after that? The answer isyes.
What does Budew evolve into?
Budew evolves intoRoseliaat a high friendship level, which you can check using theFriendship Tracker, but only during the day. Later on, it evolves intoRoseradewhen exposed to a Shiny Stone.

Are Roselia and Roserade good Pokémon?
The answer to this is alsoyes. Both Roselia and Roserade have a good variety of movesplusaccess to the Natural Cure and Poison Point abilities. Roserade, in particular, has a very high Sp. Attack stat, making it a good choice for competitive battles. If you may capture a Budew with a Modest, Mild, Quiet, or Rash nature, which means that its Sp. Attack grows faster, you can maximize Roserade’s deadly special attack potential.
