Flavor Text

: At rest, it looks just like a rock. Carelessly stepping on it will make it swing its fists angrily.

: Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.
: It is impossible to distinguish from rocks. It slams against others in contests of hardness.
: 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.

: Its round body makes it easy to pick up, but it is hard and heavy. It’s dangerous to play with them as if they were snowballs.
: There are plenty of them to be found along any road. A scholar with too much free time once counted a hundred of them along a single route.
: Geodude that have lived a long life have had all their edges smoothed out until they’re totally round. They also have a calm, quiet disposition.
: It uses both hands to climb precipitous cliffs. People who see it in action have been known to take up bouldering.
