'''Armaldo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーマルド''' ''Armaldo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Bug}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Anorith}} starting at [[level]] 40.
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Anorith}} starting at [[level]] 40, after it is revived from a [[Claw Fossil]].


==Biology==
==Biology==
Armaldo is a fossilized, prehistoric Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be evolved from an {{p|Anorith}} resurrected from a [[Root and Claw Fossils|Claw Fossil]].
Armaldo is a bipedal, amphibious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that somewhat resembles a {{wp|mantis shrimp}}. It is covered with thick, grayish-blue plates. There are accents of yellow, black, white, and red throughout its body. Its oblong eyes protrude from the sides of its head. A black pattern with two red, teardrop-shaped spots covered the center of its head and a yellow lower jaw. Three pairs of wing-like appendages extend from the sides of its long, thick neck. A plate of armor on its back has four short spikes and two triangular, yellow-rimmed wings extending from underneath. Its scaled chest and belly are rimmed with yellow lines as well, and there are two large yellow plates in the center of its chest. Its segmented arms extend from holes in these plates, each with a large, black claw. The legs are also segmented, with black knees. A pair of black fins tips its long tail.
===Physiology===
Armaldo has a long neck, and two blade-like arms. It is covered in thick, heavy-duty, armored plates. Hence, the name, the Plate Pokémon. Armaldo's tough armor makes all attacks bounce off. This Pokémon's two enormous claws can be freely extended or contracted. They have the power to punch right through a steel slab. An amphibious Pokémon, it usually lives on land. However, when it hunts for prey, it dives beneath the ocean. It swims around using its two large wings.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====


===Behavior===
In ancient times, Armaldo lived on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|land by the water's edge,}} and dived into the ocean to hunt for prey. The large wings on its back were used for swimming, while its thick shell protected it from enemy attacks. Its strong claws can break stones, punch through a steel slab, and take down prey. Furthermore, they can be freely extended or retracted. It is considered to be the ancestor of some {{type|bug}} Pokémon.
When bothered, Armaldo responds with powerful attacks. It calms itself down afterwards by eating good food.


===Habitat===
===Evolution===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Armaldo evolves from {{p|Anorith}}.
The exact habitat of Armaldo is unknown, but so far [[Root and Claw Fossils|Claw Fossils]] are only found in the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.


===Diet===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

===NPC appearances===
Armaldo premiered in a movie that was shown in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]''. Its role in the movie was defending a castle where a {{p|Kirlia}} princess was held captive.
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: An {{OBP|Armaldo|Explorers of Sky}} serves a mentor to the future Guildmaster {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} while he was still an {{p|Igglybuff}}. Initially reluctant due to Igglybuff's devil-may-care attitude, he takes him on as an apprentice after sensing a powerful intuition from the baby Pokémon and eventually grows close to the young child. He tends to acknowledge many RPG staples, such as traps and bosses but is just as easily fooled by them. Eventually, it is revealed that Armaldo is an outlaw and is caught after clearing the [[Fortune Ravine]]. Igglybuff protests wildly and is about to unleash a powerful {{m|Hyper Voice}} (the first show of his infamous temper), until Armaldo calms him down and explains the situation; he gives the still-protesting Igglybuff a Defend Globe (the first treasure the pair found on their first adventure) as a gift to remember him by, and Armaldo willingly gives himself up to the authorities. This story serves as the backdrop for the second Special Episode, ''Igglybuff the Prodigy''.
* He later reappears in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, where another Igglybuff requests the player to deliver a Tiny Reviver Seed to Armaldo. Upon delivery, Armaldo muses about another Igglybuff he knew that had become a respected guildmaster.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Armaldo and its pre-evolution, {{p|Anorith}}, are the only {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon with genders that are not in the {{egg|Bug}} egg group.
* Armaldo and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon with the {{a|Swift Swim}} [[Ability]] that are also weak to {{t|Water}}.
*Armaldo cannot learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}}, despite its {{v2|Emerald}} [[Pokédex]] entry, its presence in the {{egg3|Water 3}}, and the fact that it's seen swimming with someone on its back on the [[Pokémon Special]] manga. Furthermore, in each Mystery Dungeon, Armaldo cannot naturally move over water while its pre-evelution Anorith can.
* Due to an error, Armaldo has the move {{m|Slash}} in its moveset twice in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and {{g|Sun and Moon}}: once at [[level]] 25 and again at level 34. It was later fixed in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, with {{m|Bug Bite}} replacing Slash at level 25 to match what its pre-evolution learns.

====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Armaldo's name possibly originated from a corruption of ''armor''; however, it could also be a combination of ''armor'' and ''{{wp|armadillo}}''.
Armaldo may be a combination of ''armado'' (Spanish for armored), ''Anomalocaris'', and possibly ''shield'' or ''ald'' (Old Saxon for old).
