Boldore (Japanese: ガントル Gantle) is a Rock-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Roggenrola starting at level 25 and evolves into Gigalith when traded.

Biology

Boldore is a blue Pokémon with an array of red crystals on its back and front, and a spine protruding from between its yellow ears. Rocky chunks at its sides comprise pincer-like limbs, tipped with red crystals similar to the ones on its back. Its orange crystal is the hardened form of its endlessly leaking energy. The crystal shines brightly when its power rises. It searches for underground wells in the caves where it lives.

Origin

Boldore appears to be based on a geode. It also has some aspects of a crab.

Name origin

Boldore may be combination of boulder and ore; it may also be a corruption of boulder. It may also derive from bold (outstanding or large).

Gantle may be a combination of 岩 gan (rock) and mantle.
