'''Ferroseed''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テッシード''' ''Tesseed'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ferrothorn}} starting at [[level]] 40.

Ferroseed is a cave-dwelling {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a {{wp|durian}}. It has many green thorns around its body that are used for protection. It has a metallic body with black stripes and polygonal spots, along with small yellow eyes with black pupils.  

Ferroseed prefer living in mossy caves. It can stick its spikes into cave walls to absorb the minerals from the rocks. If threatened, it can shoot a barrage of spikes so it can escape by rolling away. Ferroseed's aim at throwing spikes will not be good at first, requiring practice to improve it. As seen in the [[BW081|anime]], Ferroseed can absorb nutrients from rocks and use them to grow moss for oxygen; different rocks create different types of moss with a variety of effects. Notably, its spikes can grow big and strong from consuming the moss. Absorbing nutrients from rocks that come from [[Chargestone Cave]] yields disastrous results.

===Evolution===

Ferroseed evolves into {{p|Ferrothorn}}.

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

{{main|Ferroseed (TCG)}}

* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have the same [[Egg Group]] combination as Ferroseed and its evolved form.

** Ferroseed and its evolution are the only Steel-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Grass}}.

* Ferroseed has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

** It also ties with {{p|Gossifleur}} for the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{t|Grass}}-type Pokémon.

** It also has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Grass-type Pokémon.

* From [[Generation VI]] onward, Ferroseed's Hidden Ability is the same as its first [[Ability]], {{a|Iron Barbs}}, unlike its evolved form, which has a different Hidden Ability, {{a|Anticipation}}. A Ferroseed with Iron Barbs as its Hidden Ability can evolve into an Anticipation Ferrothorn and can be [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] to produce more Ferroseed with Iron Barbs as their Hidden Ability.

* According to [[Ken Sugimori]], {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}, Ferroseed, and {{p|Ferrothorn}} were all designed by the same designer.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

Ferroseed is based on certain plants whose seeds stick to clothing,<ref name=ND205/> such as {{wp|Xanthium|cockleburs}}, {{wp|Arctium|burdocks}}, or {{wp|Galium aparine|cleavers}}. It may also be based on {{wp|durian}}s, conkers (seeds from {{wp|Aesculus hippocastanum|horse-chestnut trees}}), or {{wp|datura}} fruits, all of which are known for their tough skin and thorns. It may also be based on a {{wp|mace (bludgeon)|mace}} or {{wp|flail (weapon)|flail}}.

Ferroseed may be a combination of ''ferrous'' (containing iron) and ''seed''.

 

Tesseed may be a combination of 鉄 ''tetsu'' (iron) and ''seed''.
