Boldore (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

|ndex=525

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Roggenrola}} starting at [[level]] 25 and evolves into {{p|Gigalith}} when [[trade]]d.

Boldore is a blue, rock-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 shine 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.

* Boldore is very similar to {{p|Graveler}}. Both are {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in an odd-numbered [[generation]] with a base stat total of 390 that evolve at level 25 and can evolve again by [[Trade|trading]].

Boldore appears to be based on a {{wp|geode}}. It also has some aspects of a {{wp|crab}} with the three-legged structure of a {{wp|tripod}}.

Boldore may be combination of ''boulder'' and ''ore''. It may also derive from ''bold'' (outstanding or large).
