Geodude (Japanese: イシツブテ Ishitsubute, German: Kleinstein, French: Racaillou, Korean: 꼬마돌 Kkomador) 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.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Emerald
It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Because they look just like boulders lining paths, hikers may step on them without noticing.
Pokémon FireRed
Its round form makes it easy to pick up. Some people have used them to hurl at each other in a snowball fight.
Pokémon LeafGreen
Found in fields and mountians. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.

Name origin

Geodude's name may be a combination of the prefix geo, earth, and dude, a nickname for a male. Ishitsubute is a combination of 石 ishi, stone, and 礫 tsubute, throwing stones.

Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.
