Sudowoodo (Japanese: ウソッキー Usokkii) is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Special abilities

Sudowoodo have the Rock Head and Sturdy Abilities. Sudowoodo, although a Rock type, looks more like a Grass type by use of adaptive mimicry. Because of this, foes might be fooled into not using Water type attacks, (which Grass types are resistant to, and Rock types are weak to) Sudowoodo can camouflage itself as a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies.

Evolution

Sudowoodo is the evolved form of Bonsly as of level 17 and then teaching it the move Mimic, or vice-versa.

Appearances

In the anime

The first appearance of a Sudowoodo in the anime is in the episode "Type Casting".

In Pokémon Golden Boys, Gold had a Sudowoodo nicknamed Sudo.
