Boldore (Japanese: ガントル Gantle) is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves from Roggenrola starting at level 25 and evolves into Gigalith when traded.
Biology
Boldore is a blue, rock-like Pokémon with an array of red crystals on its back and front, and a spine protruding from between its yellow ears. Rocky chunks at its sides comprise pincer-like limbs, tipped with red crystals similar to the ones on its back. Its orange crystals are the hardened form of its endlessly leaking energy.
Its crystals shines brightly when its power rises. Because its crystals are valuable, a fragment being capable of powering a hundred dump trucks, Boldore are targeted for it. It searches for underground water in the caves where it lives. It always faces the same way, never moving in a diagonal direction.
