Subomie (スボミー Subomī?) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. Subomie is famous for being one of the Pokémon revealed before the Japanese release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The purpose of Subomie in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2]

The name Subomie is derived from the word 蕾 (tsubomi, flower bud). The name Subomie refers to the species as a whole, as well as individual specimens in the games, anime and manga.

[edit] Biological Characteristics

Subomie resembles a rose bud, hence its classification as the Flower Bud Pokémon. Its head is held in place by a vine that twists slightly above its head, giving the impression of a closed bud.

In the cold of winter the bud closes tightly; when spring comes, it opens and disperses pollen. It is part Poison type, so those who are enchanted by its appearance are punished painfully. It evolves into Roselia, who is also a Grass/Poison type. The inside of one half of Subomie's vine is blue while the inside of the other half is red, implying that these halves become Roselia's arms upon evolution.

[edit] In the video games

Subomie are one of new Pokémon to have made their first appearance in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS. Subomie are obtainable in the wild, as is common for most Baby Pokémon in Diamond and Pearl[3] (though this was the case for only Wynaut previously), and is available fairly early in the game, being a wild Pokémon present in Route 204. It is also possible to breed a Subomie through a female Roselia that is holding an item called the Flower Incense.

Subomie can evolve into Roselia through leveling up during the morning, daytime or afternoon, when Subomie's happiness level is at its maximum.[4]
