'''Forretress''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フォレトス''' ''Foretos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
'''Forretress''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フォレトス''' ''Foretos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Pineco}} starting at [[level]] 31.

==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Forretress is a large, spherical {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with no visible limbs. The upper and lower halves of its body are capped by bumpy steel plates, giving it a strong defense against opponents. The outer plates have zigzagging ridges that open along its back and front, revealing its smooth, red inner shell. The inner shell is punctuated by four cylindrical spikes, each tapering to an open point. Between the spikes, the inner shell opens along a straight line to reveal Forretress's eyes, which are round with large pupils. Whatever else lies inside its shell is unknown.
Forretress are a large round cocoon like species of Pokémon. They have two steel pinkish plates positioned on the top and bottom of their bodies. The plates cover most of the upper and lower hemispheres of the Forretress which are shaped with uneven grooves. This forms the outermost shell of a Forretress. A gap along the equator of their bodies exposes a second red shell beneath the outer shell. The red shell also has a smaller gap along the equator through which the eyes can be seen. Along with this, four tube-like spikes protrude out the four corners of the Forretress’s equator. With the exception of the eyes and possibly the spikes, it is unknown what Forretress look like beneath the armor.


====Gender differences====
Forretress can defend itself from enemies by shooting out pieces of its outer shell, as a conditioned reflex rather than a conscious effort. It opens its shell to capture prey, but this happens so quickly that its interior body cannot be seen. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests}}, attaching itself immovably to tree trunks. As shown in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Forretress is capable of levitation.
None.


===Special abilities===
===Evolution===
Possibly the most frequently implemented ability of Forretress is its ability to freely move without the use of limbs. This is done by spinning, bouncing and likely rolling. It’s also possible that like many {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon, it aids its movements with {{m|Magnet Rise|electromagnetic waves}}, which would also explain its ability to float in the air for quite some time.
Forretress evolves from {{p|Pineco}}.


In order to use certain attacks such as {{m|Rollout}} and protect itself when in danger, it can retract its spikes and completely closes its shell, essentially concealing all of the Pokémon’s vulnerabilities.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

</div>


When attacking, Forretress makes use of its exceptional spinning skills. It can spin to {{m|Rapid Spin| to defend and clear hazards}}, employ its steel shell to achieve a {{m|Gyro Ball|powerful attack}}, or release {{m|Spikes|jagged pieces of its shell}} from its four tube like spikes in order to deter foes and even lay traps to protect itself.
==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]: Forretress may appear during {{DL|Pokémon: Magikarp Jump|training}}. As part of the "Forretress Push" training session, the player's Magikarp pushes it to earn JP.


===Behavior===
Forretress are generally peaceful Pokémon and spend most of their time dormant; attached to trees, resting, sleeping or waiting for food. If forced to, they could actively pursue prey or change locations with their buoyant mobility. Being a fully evolved and all around powerful Pokémon, they could easily attack with vicious force if provoked or threatened.
Forretress are renowned for their secrecy and sternness on concealing their entrails. They almost never open their shells and when they do it lasts for no more than a fraction of a second.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Forretress are mostly found attached to trees in large forests as they spend little time moving around while in the wild. Their location is not restricted to forests; however, they can be found in many areas provided there are plenty of trees around.
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Forretress is mainly carnivorous and will wait for prey to come close to it. When within reach, Forretress will open its shell up and devour the creature whole at such a speed that it is impossible to see inside the shell if observing. Its diet would most probably consist of smaller bugs or {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, although it’s not beyond its potential to eat anything organic that will fit in its mouth.
==In the anime==
[[File:Brock Forretress.png|thumb|210px|Brock's Forretress]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Brock's Forretress]]====
{{an|Brock}}'s Pineco evolved into Forretress in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'' in order to save a bunch of Pokémon at a hot spring from [[Team Rocket]]. When Brock went to [[Hoenn]], the only Pokémon he brought with him was his Forretress.
====Other====
===Minor appearances===
A Forretress appeared in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose, or Drew!]]'' as a Pokémon in the Contest.
Another one appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''. It was one of the many {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon seen going crazy on [[Iron Island]].
===Pokédex entries===

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Forretress first appeared in {{PAV|9}}, where {{adv|Red}} had to fight two to pass his aptitude test to be [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym Leader]].
Another Forretress was seen in {{PAV|11}}, under the ownership of [[Janine]]. She used its {{m|Spikes}} attack to lay traps for unsuspecting victims.
[[Carr]] has many Forretress, with which he often orders an {{m|Explosion}} attack to destroy the surroundings. Near the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, he has 10 of them nearly detonate the Team Rocket airship after realizing that [[Giovanni]] had planned to use the [[Three Beasts]] as pawns to reunite with his [[Silver (Adventures)|son]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Forretress is the only Pokémon that can learn Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Stealth Rock together.
* Forretress and its {{p|Pineco|pre-evolution}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Wormadam}}. They are all known as the Bagworm Pokémon.
* Forretress could not learn any {{type2|Steel}} moves until [[Generation IV]], and could only learn one {{type2|Bug}} move (and this only by breeding) up until the release of {{v2|Platinum}}.
* Forretress is the first original {{type|Steel}} Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]], as {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton|its evolution}} were not Steel-types in [[Generation I]].
** In {{v2|Platinum}}, it is possible to have Forretress learn {{m|Bug Bite}}, which would mean it would have to show its face or mouth to bite the foe. This would possibly mean the elimination of the mystery of what is inside its shell. Based on its {{v2|Emerald}} Pokédex information however, this seems unlikely. The 'biting' motion could also simply be Forretress clamping its shell on the opponent, something Forretress is known to be able to do.
* Forretress's {{v2|Crystal}} still sprite is different from that of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, making it one of few Pokémon to have three distinctly different sprites in [[Generation II]].
* {{p|Pineco}} and Forretress share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Burmy}} and {{p|Wormadam}}. They are all known as Bagworm Pokémon.
* Oddly, Forretress can learn {{m|Swift}} by breeding in [[Generation III]], but it can't learn it from the [[move tutor]]. This also happened to its pre-evolution {{p|Pineco}}.
* Forretress is the first original {{t|Steel}} Pokémon in the National Pokédex order. ({{p|Magnemite}}'s evolutionary line, which precedes Forretress, wasn't Steel-type in [[Generation I]]).
* Forretress is one of the few Pokémon not native to Sinnoh to have its sprite changed in Platinum.
* Forretress, and its pre-evolution, learn the move {{M|Selfdestruct}} sooner than any other Pokémon by level up.
* In {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, its Poké Assist is shown to be Steel in the capture screen, but turns out to be Normal after the capture.
* In {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, its Poké Assist is shown to be Steel in the capture screen, but turns out to be Normal after the capture.
*Forretress could always learn [[Swift (move)|Swift]] as an [[Egg move]], but oddly could not learn it via [[TM]] or [[Move Tutor]] until [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].
===Origin===
===Origin===
Forretress is based on a {{wp|bagworm}}, possibly one inhabiting a discarded shell of a {{wp|Horse chestnut}} or a {{wp|Walnut}}. Because of its "shell", and the fact its spikes resemble {{wp|cannons}}, it may have been based on a {{wp|giant clam}} or other {{wp|mussel}}s and {{wp|shellfish}} with functioning nozzles.
Forretress is based on a {{wp|bagworm}}, possibly one inhabiting a discarded shell of a {{wp|Aesculus|horse chestnut}} or a {{wp|walnut}}, though it resultingly resembles {{wp|bivalve}}s such as {{wp|giant clam}}s, as they share a two-half shell structure. Before {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} depicted it levitating, Forretress's primary means of locomotion was hopping, which is similar to the {{wp|Mexican jumping bean}}, a nut pod which appears to jump because it contains a writhing bug larva. Following {{p|Pineco}}'s {{wp|weaponry}} theme, Forretress seems be based on {{wp|gun turret}}s, {{wp|bomb}}s, {{wp|cannon}}s and {{wp|cannonballs}}, and {{wp|fortress}}es. The tube-shaped cannons around it resemble the siphons in {{wp|siphon (insect anatomy)|insects}} and {{wp|siphon (mollusc)|molluscs}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Forretress's name is a combination of ''forest'' and ''fortress''. It may also contain ''turret'' referring to the nozzles on its body that it uses to launch {{m|Spikes}}. Although highly unlikely, it may be a combination of ''forêt'', French for forest, and trees, which would make it forest trees, probably referring to its habitat.
Forretress and Foretos may be a combination of ''forest'', ''fortress'', and possibly ''turret''.
