Why evolve Roselia into Roserade in Pokemon GO

Roselia and Roserade are both Grass- and Poison-type creatures, with the former having no viability in battles. Roserade, on the other hand, is an excellent attacker to use in raids.

When a Raid Battle features Water-, Rock-, or Ground-type Pokemon, use Roserade as a counter by teaching it a Grass-type moveset comprising the Fast Attack Magical Leaf and Charged Attack Grass Knot.

Similarly, when a Raid Battle features Fairy- or Grass-type Pokemon, use Roserade as a counter by teaching it a Poison-type moveset including the Fast Attack Poison Jab and Charged Attack Sludge Bomb.
