Geodude (Japanese: イシツブテ Ishitsubute) is a Rock/Ground-type. It was introduced in Generation I and has been available in every game since.
Geodude comes with one of two abilities: Sturdy, which prevents One-Hit KO attacks from having any effect; or Rock Head, which eliminates the recoil from certain attacks -- for instance, Double-Edge.
Geodude evolves via level, starting at level 25, into Graveler, and then into Golem at any time via link trade.

In the anime
Brock had a Geodude that he used in Kanto and Johto before giving it to his brother, Forrest, on his departure to Hoenn.
Other Gym Leaders have also used Geodudes:
Danny, the Naval Island Gym Leader, used one to help create and ride a sledge as part of the challenges in Navel Maneuvers.
Roxanne used one in her battle with Ash in Winner by a Nosepass.
Geodude and its evolved forms were the loyal subjects of King Onix in Hooked on Onix.
Roark used his Geodude against Paul in Shapes of Things to Come and Ash in O'er the Rampardos we Watched.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Special manga
Geodude makes cameos in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in Onix is On! standing next to Brock, suggesting that he is its owner and in Raging Rhydon as a wild Pokémon.
Brock is seen with no less than eight Geodude on the jacket of Volume 8. The Geodude octet is later seen in Volume 14, attempting to halt the Magnet Train with a combined Magnitude.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Geodude is the final Pokéfloat to appear. As the Unown float around the top half of the screen, Geodude floats across the bottom with its arms outstretched, providing a solid base for fighting. After it leaves the screen, there will be no Pokéfloats on the screen for a few seconds, before Squirtle pops up and restarts the cycle.
Game data
Pokédex entries
| Gen | Game | Pokédex entry |
|---|---|---|
| I | Red | Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them. |
| Blue | ||
| Yellow | Commonly found near mountain trails, etc. If you step on one by accident, it gets angry. | |
| Stadium | When traveling uphill, if it encounters a raised step, it cleverly hoists itself up and over using its two arms. | |
| II | Gold | Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around. |
| Silver | It uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths. It swings its fists around if angered. | |
| Crystal | Proud of their sturdy bodies, they bash against each other in a contest to prove whose is harder. | |
| Stadium 2 | Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around. | |
| III | Ruby | The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokémon's heart will remain hard, craggy, and rough always. |
| Sapphire | When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. It will not awaken even if hikers step on it unwittingly. In the morning, this Pokémon rolls downhill in search of food. | |
| Emerald | It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Because they look just like boulders lining paths, hikers may step on them without noticing. | |
| FireRed | Its round form makes it easy to pick up. Some people have used them to hurl at each other in a snowball fight. | |
| LeafGreen | Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them. | |
| IV | Diamond | Many live on mountain trails and remain half buried while keeping an eye on climbers. |
| Pearl | It is impossible to distinguish from rocks. It slams against others in contests of hardness. |
