What ability should I run for Roserade? It looks like it would be a good support pokemon and I wan't to run it but i'm confused which ability to run.
 
I would say Natural cure. Technician is great for pokemon like scissor to get a strong stab priority bullet punch but most of Roserades moves that you want are over 60 power. Natural cure is really nice because it heals status effects when you switch out.
 
Probably Poison Point or Technician. Mainly because Rosarade has low defenses and in that case you might as well revenge kill the opponent with poison, especially if they're a big fire threat. I don't think Natural Cure is good because it might not be out long enough to make good use of it but it's doable if you like to play safe. Looking at the moves of Roserade though you might not make use of Technician either.

Yeah poison point could be useful too but I would just use toxic.
 
I was going to go for poison point f no one replied in a little bit because you can always take a big advantage wirh aromatherapy and heal the whole teams status conditions. And technician on roserade is a big waste...
 
Not Poison Point, never never never never. Natural Cure or Technician is much better since you never know when you might get crippled by Thunder Wave and have to get rid of it. It is also good to switch in to status if predicted, then switch out. Technician is great to boost a lot of its moves, but best paired with Hidden Power.
 
ok thanks if I have technician mega drain or giga drain?
 
VCG doubles is great with Technician Roserade, since it pairs well with Magical Leaf (since it hits both targets) and also Hidden Power Fire, but if you are running a hazard Roserade, use Technician to pair with HP Fire or Natural Cure if you don't already have a "sponge" to absorb status effects. But keep in mind that Life Orb with drain it and Roserade is easy to defeat, even with a high special defense.
 
ok it's for a doubles team any ideas you seem like you could help can you PM me with some help on double battles i'm pretty new to competitive?
