Which of these is better for a sweeping Roserade
 
Hey everyone i have now EV trained myself a sweeping Roserade, but im stuck as to which item i should use for it. Most places seem to lean towards Leftovers/Life Orb which of these would be best for a sweeping Roserade or is there a better item i could use on it.

OH and it's a Special Sweeper!!!

Choice Scarf with Modest Nature works great on it.
If you want to press for more Power, then Choice Specs (Or Life Orb) and Timid works, but you'll be at the risk of a lot of stuff outspeeding you.

There's the Q&A Thread for this.. Too bored too really post a link, though..

Roserade @ Life Orb (F)
Trait: Natural Cure
Modest / Timid Nature
- Energy Ball / Grass Knot / Leaf Storm
- HP [Fire/Ice]
- Leech Seed / Sleep Powder
- Sludge Bomb.. I wouldn't go with Leaf Storm, however, as it really ruins Life Orbs boost...
Edit: Apprently beaten by DA...

Well i wouldnt suggest using it due to it being rather frail and not having a reliable recovery move to go along side it so you can switch in and out alot whilst healing your team. It might take a bit of predicting to use it aswell so not to get KO'd.

This, and the reason you always gave. I'm not sure if you still do.. What was it again? You gave the reason on Blissey is what I recall..

No i never gave that as a reason on Blissey. It can actually make use of the Aromatherapy (Even though i feel it has gone down in use this generation), but i prefer Ice Beam.

Anyways Seeing as Blissey has Softboiled, and can actually take hit, it can come in and out easily and take a hit and heal the rest of your team then recover off the damage which is vital to heal your team repeatedly. Roserade has no such luxury of a recovery move and is rather frail.
