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.

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.

Name origin

Sudowoodo's name may be a combination of pseudo, false, and wood. Its Japanese name could be a misspelling of 嘘つき usotsuki, fibber. It could also be a combination of 嘘 uso, false, and 木 ki, wood.

It may be based on petrified wood, plants which have become fossilized over time.
