==Biology==
Forretress is a large, spherical Pokémon with no visible limbs. The upper and lower halves of its body are capped by bumpy steel plates. The outer plates have zigzagging ridges that open along its back and front, revealing its smooth, red inner shell. The inner shell is punctuated by four cylindrical spikes, each tapering to an open point. Between the spikes, the inner shell opens along a straight line to reveal Forretress's eyes, which are round with large pupils. Whatever else lies inside its shell is unknown.
Forretress is a large, spherical {{wp|insect|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with no visible limbs. The upper and lower halves of its body are capped by bumpy steel plates, giving it a strong defense against opponents.

The inner shell is punctuated by four cylindrical spikes, each tapering to an open point. Between the spikes, the inner shell opens along a straight line to reveal Forretress's eyes, which are round with large pupils. Whatever else lies inside its shell is unknown.


Forretress can defend itself from enemies by shooting out pieces of its outer shell. It opens its shell to capture prey, but does so quickly that its interior body cannot be seen. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, attaching itself immovably to tree trunks.
Forretress can defend itself from enemies by shooting out pieces of its outer shell, as a conditioned reflex rather than a conscious effort. It opens its shell to capture prey, but this happens so quickly that its interior body cannot be seen. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|tropical and temperate forests}}, attaching itself immovably to tree trunks. As shown in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Forretress is capable of levitation.

[[File:Janine Forretress Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Forretress in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Forretress first appeared in ''[[PS109|Forretress of Solitude]]'', where {{adv|Red}} had to fight two to pass his aptitude test to be [[Viridian City]]'s [[Gym Leader]].
 
Another Forretress was seen in ''[[PS136|Crossing Crobat]]'', under the ownership of [[Janine]]. She used it to escape from the security guards with its {{m|Spikes}} after she tried to steal a Big Pearl from the Goldenrod Museum as a security test.
 
In ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' a Forretress was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].
 
[[Carr]] has many Forretress, with which he often orders an {{m|Explosion}} attack to destroy the surroundings. Near the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, he has 10 of them nearly detonate the Team Rocket airship after realizing that {{adv|Giovanni}} had planned to use the [[Three Beasts]] as pawns to reunite with his [[Silver (Adventures)|son]].

===Origin===
===Origin===
Forretress is based on a {{wp|bagworm}}, possibly one inhabiting a discarded shell of a {{wp|horse chestnut}} or a {{wp|walnut}}. Because of its "shell", and the fact its spikes resemble {{wp|cannon}}s, it may have been based on a {{wp|giant clam}} or other {{wp|mussel}}s and {{wp|shellfish}} with functioning nozzles.
Forretress is based on a {{wp|bagworm}}, possibly one inhabiting a discarded shell of a {{wp|Aesculus|horse chestnut}} or a {{wp|walnut}}, though it resultingly resembles {{wp|bivalve}}s such as {{wp|giant clam}}s, as they share a two-half shell structure. Before {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} depicted it levitating, Forretress's primary means of locomotion was hopping, which is similar to the {{wp|Mexican jumping bean}}, a nut pod which appears to jump because it contains a writhing bug larva. Following {{p|Pineco}}'s {{wp|weaponry}} theme, Forretress seems be based on {{wp|gun turret}}s, {{wp|bomb}}s, {{wp|cannon}}s and {{wp|cannonballs}}, and {{wp|fortress}}es. The tube-shaped cannons around it resemble the siphons in {{wp|siphon (insect anatomy)|insects}} and {{wp|siphon (mollusc)|molluscs}}.

Forretress and Foretos are a combination of ''forest'' and ''fortress''. It may also contain ''turret'', referring to the nozzles on its body that it uses to launch {{m|Spikes}}, and/or ''ferrous'', from the Latin for iron/steel, referring to the steel quality of the shell.

Forretress (Japanese: フォレトス Foretos) is a dual-type Bug/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Pineco starting at level 31.

Biology

Forretress is a large, spherical insectoid Pokémon with no visible limbs. The upper and lower halves of its body are capped by bumpy steel plates, giving it a strong defense against opponents. The outer plates have zigzagging ridges that open along its back and front, revealing its smooth, red inner shell. The inner shell is punctuated by four cylindrical spikes, each tapering to an open point. Between the spikes, the inner shell opens along a straight line to reveal Forretress's eyes, which are round with large pupils. Whatever else lies inside its shell is unknown.

Forretress can defend itself from enemies by shooting out pieces of its outer shell, as a conditioned reflex rather than a conscious effort. It opens its shell to capture prey, but this happens so quickly that its interior body cannot be seen. It lives in tropical and temperate forests, attaching itself immovably to tree trunks. As shown in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Forretress is capable of levitation.

Evolution

Forretress evolves from Pineco.

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

Trivia

Origin

Forretress is based on a bagworm, possibly one inhabiting a discarded shell of a horse chestnut or a walnut, though it resultingly resembles bivalves such as giant clams, as they share a two-half shell structure. Before Pokémon Scarlet and Violet depicted it levitating, Forretress's primary means of locomotion was hopping, which is similar to the Mexican jumping bean, a nut pod which appears to jump because it contains a writhing bug larva. Following Pineco's weaponry theme, Forretress seems be based on gun turrets, bombs, cannons and cannonballs, and fortresses. The tube-shaped cannons around it resemble the siphons in insects and molluscs.

Name origin

Forretress and Foretos may be a combination of forest, fortress, and possibly turret.
