Geodude (Japanese: イシツブテ Isitsubute) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves into Graveler starting at level 25, which evolves into Golem when traded.

Biology

Geodude is a gray boulder Pokémon. It has bulging, rocky eyebrows and trapezoidal, brown eyes. Its arms are muscular with five-fingered hands. Geodude uses its arms to climb steadily up steep mountain paths. 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. The longer it lives, the more chipped and worn its body becomes.

Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails, fields, under rocks, or in caves. It will sit still in these areas, which is why it is often mistaken for rocks. 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.

Trivia

• Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric regional Pokédexes.
• Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the Rock type before Generation VI. However, Brock does not use Geodude in Generation II and Generation IV as he did in Generation I and Generation III, though he does use its evolved form, Graveler, and in the Fighting Dojo, it evolves into a Golem.

Origin

Geodude is based upon a living rock or boulder.

Name origin

Geodude may be a combination of the prefix geo-, from γῆ gē, Greek for earth, and dude, a slang word for a male. It may also be from geode, a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside, and dude.

Isitsubute is a combination of 石 ishi (stone) and 礫 tsubute (throwing stones).
