In Alola, Geodude has a regional variant that is Rock/Electric. It evolves into Alolan Graveler starting at level 25, which evolves into Alolan Golem when traded.
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 and fields. 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.
The Geodude of the Alola region are made from a magnetic rock which grants them the Electric-type. There are areas on the Alolan Geodude's body that are especially magnetic and attracts iron sand, creating the appearance of black eyebrows and strands of short black hair. Only the thumb and index fingers on the Geodude's hands are free while the other fingers have fused together.
An Alolan Geodude debuted in Treasure Hunt, Akala Style!, where Ash attempted to catch it. After a short battle, the Alolan Geodude punched Ash's Poké Ball into his face with a Thunder Punch and then ran away.
Two Geodude appeared in I Choose You!, with one being wild and the other under the ownership of a Trainer.
Multiple Geodude appeared in Alola, Kanto!, with two each belonging to Trainers, and one of them being an Alolan Geodude. The Alolan Geodude was compared to Brock's Geodude.

Brock's Geodude appeared in File 1: Red, where it fought Red's Charmander and Nidoran♂. It lost to Nidoran♂ after Brock told Red about type advantages and switched out his Charmander.
In Onix is On! a Geodude appears floating next to Brock. He is later seen with six Geodude forming a belt around his jacket in the Yellow arc. The Geodude sextet is later seen in The Last Battle III, attempting to halt the Magnet Train with a combined Magnitude. Each of them are nicknamed from Geoone to Geosix.
Geodude is the final Poké Float 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 Poké Floats on the screen for a few seconds, before Squirtle pops up and restarts the cycle.
The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokémon's heart will remain hard, craggy, and rough always.
When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. It will not awaken even if hikers step on it unwittingly. In the morning, this Pokémon rolls downhill in search of food.
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.

In the Japanese game Pokémon Blue, Geodude weighs 2.0 kg instead of 20.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in the handheld Generation I games.
Alolan Geodude's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line in which all members have an Alola Form.
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).
