Sudowoodo (Japanese: ウソッキー Usokkie) is a Rock-type Pokémon. It is found in the Generation II games blocking the paths between Violet City, Goldenrod City, and Ecruteak City until a player sprays water on it from a Squirtbottle. In Pokémon Colosseum a shadow Sudowoodo can be found as a snag from Cipher Admin Miror B. in Miror B.'s Hideout. It is also available in Pokémon Emerald.

Sudowoodo comes with one of two Abilities: Sturdy, which prevents One-Hit KO attacks from having any effect; or Rock Head, which eliminates the recoil from certain attacks -- for instance, Double-Edge.

Sudowoodo evolves from Bonsly in Generation IV.

In the anime

Sudowoodo first appeared in EP162. Two Pokémon researchers were arguing whether Sudowoodo was a Grass or Rock type.

A Sudowoodo was pretending to be part of a tree in Camp Pikachu.

A Golden Sudowoodo appeared in AG172. A boy named Kenin experimented on his Sudowoodo to make it strong against Water and turned golden. The Sudowoodo was upset with the change, and hated Kenin for what he did to it. Kenin managed to turn his Sudowoodo back to normal at the end of the episode.

Brock's Bonsly evolved into Sudowoodo in Leave It To Brocko.

In the manga

In Pokémon Special, a Sudowoodo is owned by Emerald. It appears to be a female Sudowoodo, due to its motherly nature.

Other appearances

Super Smash Brothers Melee

Sudowoodo is a Poké Float. After Wooper first appears, it will move down the right of the screen while Sudowoodo is on the left. Unlike most of the Poké Floats, players are not required to ever go on Sudowoodo. A trophy of Sudowoodo can be obtained after playing on the Poké Floats stage.

Game data

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold / Pokémon LeafGreen

Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears to be closer to a rock than a plant.

Pokémon Silver / Pokémon FireRed

It disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining.

Pokémon Crystal

If a tree branch shakes when there is no wind, it's a Sudowoodo, not a tree. It hides from the rain.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Sudowoodo camoflages itself as a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. However, because the forelegs remain green throughout the year, the Pokémon is easily identified as a fake during the winter.

Pokémon Emerald

It mimics a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. But since its forelegs remain green throughout the year, it is easily identified as a fake in the winter.
