Physical properties
Hardness (Mohs scale): 6.5-7.5; Color: Brownish-gray to tan; Luster: Dull/Earthy; Crystal structure: Spheroidal rock with two muscular arms; Specific gravity: High
Formation & geological history
Formed in mountain trails, caves, and rocky terrain; they grow by using their arms to climb and roll. Many are found in the Kanto and Johto regions in areas of high tectonic activity.
Uses & applications
Used in competitive battling (Rock/Ground type), training exercises, and as reliable companions for hikers and miners in deep caverns.
Geological facts
Geodudes are often mistaken for regular boulders because they remain still while sleeping. They are known to use attacks like 'Rollout' and 'Bulldoze' to clear paths or engage opponents.
Field identification & locations
Identify in the field by looking for 'rocks' with arms often found sitting in paths; can be found in mountain ranges and caves (e.g., Mt. Moon). Use caution as they may explode (Self-Destruct).
