====Special abilities====
Sudowoodo is most known for {{M|Mimic}}king its opponents' attacks.  Sudowoodo is protected from receiving recoil damage when using attacks like {{m|Wood Hammer}} and {{m|Double-Edge}}.  As a Rock-type Pokémon, Sudowoodo is capable of a wide variety of  {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Earthquake}}.  It can also learn {{t|Fighting}}-type attacks, such as {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Brick Break}}.  Sudowoodo can also learn {{m|Calm Mind}}, which is strange due to the fact that {{m|Hidden Power}} is the only [[Special move]] that Sudowoodo can use (and very poorly on that note).  Even stranger is the fact that Sudowoodo lacks the ability to use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}, despite being a fully evolved Pokémon.

Sudowoodo is a Poké Float. After {{p|Wooper}} first appears, it will move down the right of the screen while Sudowoodo is on the left. Unlike most of the Poké Floats, players are not required to ever go on Sudowoodo. A trophy of Sudowoodo can be obtained after playing on the Poké Floats stage.

An imitation [[Pokémon]] with an aversion to battle, Sudowoodo always poses as a tree in order to avoid being attacked. Despite their arboreal appearance, these Pokémon are actually Rock-types, and therefore highly vulnerable to water. When it begins to rain, they vanish. Sudowoodo can be found blocking {{rt|36}} in [[Johto]].
