Brock's Geodude: Difference between revisions

Similar to most of Brock's Pokémon, Geodude received very little screentime. Brock typically used it in situations in which he needed to battle, but could not use {{TP|Brock|Onix}} because of its enormous size. One such occasion was ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', when it joined a large group of Geodude to attack Team Rocket.

Geodude helped fight the fire in [[Celadon Gym]] in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', by smothering the flames with dirt. In ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'', it was revealed to know Seismic Toss by throwing Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}. However, it was blinded by {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s {{m|Sludge}}.

Brock entered Geodude in the [[P1 Grand Prix]] in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. It lost in the first round to [[Giant]]'s {{p|Hitmonlee}} which was used by {{TRT}}. Initially, Brock sent Geodude back into the ring where it was kicked mercilessly, but on {{OBP|Anthony|EP029}}'s advice, Brock threw in the towel and apologized to Geodude for making it fight.  

It also dug a hole to rescue {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. However, before the pair could be pulled to safety, {{p|Aerodactyl}} broke through the hole with Ash captive. It also displayed the first use of its Tackle attack whilst breaching Team Rocket's house with Ash, {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}.

It again filled its advantage over fire by helping Onix, {{AP|Charizard}} and [[Blaine's Magmar]] dam the erupting Cinnabar volcano in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. It was kept cool by the efforts of Squirtle and Staryu.

It returned with its Trainer and fellow Pokémon in ''[[EP115|A Tents Situation]]''. In ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'', it was revealed that Brock usually polished his Rock Pokémon, so Misty took up the job of polishing Geodude whilst Brock was sick. It was captured by Team Rocket, but was rescued when Brock, {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} and {{TP|Brock|Golbat}} intervened.

Geodude was revealed to know Mega Punch in [[EP250]] (an unaired episode in the [[dub]]) where it fought Jessie's Arbok, but was easily defeated with {{m|Headbutt}} and {{m|Wrap}}. It was then stolen by Team Rocket, but recovered later. It acted as a fire fighter for the third time in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', where it attempted to rescue the Pokémon trapped in a fire. It managed to save the sacred Prayer Flame from the burning shrine at the end of the episode. In ''[[EP259|Entei At Your Own Risk!]]'', Geodude was sent out to enjoy the hot sands. It pushed [[Ash's Larvitar]] headfirst into the hot sand, having no patience for its timidity.

====Advanced Generation series====

Geodude joined {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} to greet Brock in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]''. Forrest ordered Geodude to Tackle {{MTR}}, and then it used its newly learned Sandstorm to create a distraction whilst Steelix created defenses with boulders. It then charged and took down [[Jessie]]'s {{p|Charizard}} with a Mega Punch.

Geodude has appeared in most of the games Brock has appeared in, except for the {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Johto}}-{{game|Crystal||based}} {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|games}}, in which he instead uses a {{p|Graveler}}, and eventually a {{p|Golem}} in the [[rematch]]es in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

[[Brock]] owns six Geodude in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, each [[nickname]]d with names from "Geoone" to "Geosix", respectively, and he often carries them around himself like a belt.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===

Brock used his two Geodude in his battle against {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] chapter ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', where they lost. They later fought a losing battle with the [[Black Fog]].

* Geodude is the only [[Generation I]] Pokémon Brock still owns that hasn't evolved yet, despite its game counterpart presumably being shown as a {{p|Graveler}} in Generation II, and eventually a {{p|Golem}} by the rematch in HGSS. His {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} and {{TP|Brock|Onix}} already evolved to their final forms, and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} is owned by a different Trainer: [[Suzie]].  

* Geodude was not shown using any [[move]]s until 23 episodes after its debut.
