'''Gigalith''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギガイアス''' ''Gigaiath'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Boldore}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}}. It is the final form of {{p|Roggenrola}}.

Gigalith is a blue, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, with various spiny, red-orange, crystalline features jutting out from all over its body; two appear along its back, one on its chest, and one topping each of its four feet. Each foot also bears two claws of a similar appearance and is connected to the body by gray joints. The yellow, front-facing ears of its previous evolutionary relatives are now filled in with red and appear to have become full-fledged eyes. Several of the aforementioned red crystals also appear on its face; three below its eyes, one in the middle resembling a crest, and two other crystals connected to the sides of its head.

Gigalith compresses energy in the core inside its body, allowing it to fire attacks powerful enough to blow away mountains. When it fires these attacks at full power, the sheer force of the blast creates multiple cracks on its body. It can also store sunlight in its orange crystals, magnify it within its body, and shoot powerful energy balls that can destroy dump trucks from its mouth, though it loses this ability at night or during rain. It lives in caves and tunnels deep underground. Gigalith is a hardy Pokémon with hefty horsepower and is a popular partner for construction workers and miners. In [[Galar]], it works with {{p|Copperajah}} in construction sites and mines.

===Evolution===

Gigalith evolves from {{p|Boldore}} and is the final form of {{p|Roggenrola}}.

====Major appearances====

Gigalith debuted in ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', where it was rampaging around a town. [[Alder]] managed to stop it with his bare hands, and then, he found out that the reason for Gigalith's rampage was a nail that had gotten stuck in the bottom of one of its feet.

====Minor appearances====

In ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', [[Kenton]] used a Gigalith during the fourth round of the [[Vertress Conference]] and battled [[Cameron's Riolu]], but it lost.

In ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', a Gigalith was living at [[Pokémon Hills]].

====Pokédex entries====

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Unova}}

 

In ''[[PG13|The Uprising]]'', {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s used multiple Gigalith to battle [[Iris]] and the [[Unova]] [[Gym Leader]]s at [[N's Castle]].

* Gigalith was first seen in a [[Triple Battle]] with teammates {{p|Reuniclus}} and {{p|Gothitelle}} against {{p|Blitzle}}, {{p|Darmanitan}}, and {{p|Drilbur}}, during an [[Oha Suta]] episode which aired on June 27, 2010. It was not revealed in earnest until August 7, 2010.

* Gigalith's evolutionary family shares similarities with {{p|Golem}}'s evolutionary family. Both of them are {{type|Rock}}; have {{a|Sturdy}} as one of their {{Abilities}}; learn {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, and {{m|Rock Blast}} by level-up; first evolve at level 25; and then reach the final evolutionary stage by [[trade|trading]].

Gigalith appears to be based on a {{wp|crystal}} formation and {{wp|elemental}} creature, specifically a being of earth.

Gigalith may be a combination of γίγας ''{{wp|Giants (Greek mythology)|gigas}}'' (Greek for giant) and λίθος ''lithos'' (Greek for stone). It may also refer to ''{{wp|megalith}}'' or ''{{wp|monolith}}''.

 

Gigaiath may be a combination of γίγας ''gigas'', Γαῖα ''{{wp|Gaia (mythology)|Gaia}}'' (the {{wp|Greek mythology|Greek goddess}} personifying the {{wp|Earth}}), and ''{{wp|Goliath}}''. It may also involve アース ''āsu'' (earth).
