Budew (Japanese: スボミー Subomii) is a Grass/Poison-Type Baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Biology

Physiology

Budew is a small and bipedal Pokémon that slightly resembles a rosebud. Its face is yellow with small, slit-like eyes, and it appears to be wearing a green bib; additionally, it also has triangular, stubby yellow feet. When the two vines that are on top of its head open up, a big spot can be seen on each. One vine has a blue spot, while the other has a red spot.

Behavior

During the winter, a Budew closes its buds and endures the cold. When spring is around the corner or when it feels the sun's warm touch, it reopens its buds and scatters pollen.

Natural abilities

Budew pollen is filled with poison, so it is extremely toxic and allergenic. The pollen also has the ability to induce harsh sneezing and runny noses, and if the Pokémon is raised on clean water, the pollen's toxicity increases further.

Habitat

Budew live near clean pools and ponds.

Evolution

Budew evolves into Roselia when leveled up with high friendship during the day. It then evolves into Roserade by use of a Shiny Stone.

Trivia

Budew is unable to learn the move Pollen Puff, despite the fact that numerous Pokédex entries claim that it releases and scatters pollen. Roserade, its final evolution, is also unable to learn the move, despite the fact that the Browser in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia explicitly says that it "scatters pollen to attack."

Origin

Budew is based on a rose bud. It also has elements of babies, as shown with its leafy "bib." Its shape could also bring to mind a vase, a container that is often filled with flowers. Although it is never implied or stated, Budew's behavior during different seasons is most likely for reproduction, since many real-world plants need pollination to reproduce.

Etymology

Budew is a combination of bud and dew. It may also be a pun on achoo! (the sound of someone sneezing), as its pollen induces harsh sneezing.

Subomie, Budew's Japanese name, is a corruption of 蕾 tsubomi (flower bud).
