Biology

Concept art of Geodude for theoriginal series

Geodude is a brownish-grayboulder-likePokémon. It has bulging, rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal eyes with brown pupils, and a wide mouth. Its arms are muscular with five-fingered hands. Geodude uses its arms to climb steadily up steep mountain paths. As a result of their physical appearance,Rhyperior sometimes mistakes this Pokémon for an actual boulder and fires it through its hands.

Geodude is proud of its sturdy body and will bash against others of its kind in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. It will even go as far as to compare itself with other species, such asRoggenrola andCarbink. The longer it lives, the more chipped and worn its body becomes. Geodude's roundness makes it easy to pick up, with some people even using it as a substitute for snowballs in snowball fights. However, its toughness and heaviness makes this dangerous for others. Long-lived Geodude are completely smooth and round and have a calm demeanor. However, its heart remains rugged and tough, no matter what. Geodude can be most often found onmountain trails and fields, with a scholar counting about 100 of them on just one route. It will sit still in these areas, which is why it is often mistaken for a rock. It is often stepped on and will sometimes swing its arms in anger when this occurs. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. Once buried, it will not awaken even if someone steps on it. In the morning, Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

Forms

Concept art ofAlolan Geodude forPokémon Sun and Moon

Geodude has aregional form:Alolan Geodude.

In theAlolaregion, Geodude is made of a magnetic rock with a more silvery appearance. There are areas on Alolan Geodude's body that are especially magnetic and attract iron sand, creating the appearance of black eyebrows and strands of short black hair.[1] Its fingers are fused together, leaving only the thumb and index finger free.

Stepping on Alolan Geodude results in an electrical shock and sometimes an angry headbutt. Like regular Geodude, it competes with other Alolan Geodude by bashing its head, with the iron sand sticking to the one with stronger magnetism. AlolanGolem will fire these Geodude from its back if real rocks are absent. They can also be found in theCanyon Biome ofBlueberry Academy'sTerarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Geodude and its evolved forms are theonly known Pokémon that can haveGalvanize as anAbility.
