Geodude (Japanese: イシツブテ Ishitsubute) is a Rock/Ground-type. It was introduced in Generation I and has been available in every game since.
Geodude 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.
Geodude evolves via level, starting at level 25, into Graveler, and then into Golem at any time via link trade.

Brock had a Geodude that he used in Kanto and Johto before giving it to his brother, Forrest, on his departure to Hoenn.
Other Gym Leaders have also used Geodudes:
Danny, the Naval Island Gym Leader, used one to help create and ride a sledge as part of the challenges in Navel Maneuvers.
Roxanne used one in her battle with Ash in Winner by a Nosepass.
Geodude and its evolved forms were the loyal subjects of King Onix in Hooked on Onix.
Roark used his Geodude against Paul in Shapes of Things to Come and Ash in O'er the Rampardos we Watched.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Special manga
Geodude makes cameos in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in Onix is On! standing next to Brock, suggesting that he is its owner and in Raging Rhydon as a wild Pokémon.
Brock is seen with no less than eight Geodude on the jacket of Template:PSV. The Geodude octet is later seen in Template:PSV, attempting to halt the Magnet Train with a combined Magnitude.

Other appearances
Geodude is the final Pokéfloat to appear. As the Unown float around the top half of the screen, Geodude floats across the bottom with its arms outstretched, providing a solid base for fighting. After it leaves the screen, there will be no Pokéfloats on the screen for a few seconds, before Squirtle pops up and restarts the cycle.
