Geodude (Japanese: イシツブテ Isitsubute) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves into Graveler starting at level 25, who evolves into Golem via trade.
Biology
Physiology
Geodude is a gray boulder with bulging rocky eyebrows, brown irises, and muscular five-fingered arms. It levitates, though is not unaffected from attacks from the ground.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
It has a hard head and a sturdy body. Throwing rocks is a common type of offense by Geodude. As Geodude is also a Ground-type, it can use moves like Earthquake. Geodude also possesses the ability to explode.
Behavior
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in caves, which is why they are often mistaken for rocks. Geodude uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths, hoisting itself over. Geodude also uses its arms to swing its fists around when angered, such as when it is carelessly stepped upon. Geodude are proud of their sturdy bodies and bash against each other in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground, and will not awaken even if it is stepped upon. In the morning Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.
Habitat
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails, fields, under rocks, or in caves. They are a common sight in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh.
Diet

In the animeIn the mangaIn the TCGOther appearances
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.

Trivia
- Geodude is one of five Generation I Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in Generation III. Its former base experience was 86. The others are Abra, Machop, Omanyte, and Kabuto.
- Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all regional Pokédexes.
- Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the Template:Type2. However, Brock does not use Geodude in Generation II and Generation IV as he did in Generation I and Generation III, though he does use its evolved form, Graveler, and in the Fighting Dojo, it evolves into a Golem.
- Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in Generation III and onwards. It was also shown floating in the Stadium games and in the Pikachu Short, Pikachu & Pichu. Despite all of these factors it cannot have the Levitate ability or learn Magnet Rise.
- In one episode of Fillmore!, a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its Harden attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after Generation II.
Origin
Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.
Name origin
Geodude's name may be a combination of the prefix geo, 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, literally "a stone throwing stones".
