Evolution Chain
Pokedex Entries26 entries

Generation VII

Sun

Its round body makes it easy to pick up, but it is hard and heavy. It’s dangerous to play with them as if they were snowballs.

Moon

There are plenty of them to be found along any road. A scholar with too much free time once counted a hundred of them along a single route.

Ultra Sun

Geodude that have lived a long life have had all their edges smoothed out until they’re totally round. They also have a calm, quiet disposition.

Ultra Moon

It uses both hands to climb precipitous cliffs. People who see it in action have been known to take up bouldering.

Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee

Commonly found near mountain trails and the like. If you step on one by accident, it gets angry.

Generation VIII

Legends: Arceus

Makes its home in mountainous regions, using its arms to climb along harsh mountain roads. Can be troublesome—carelessly kicking one will cause it to fly into a rage and chase after you.
