Geodude (Japanese: イシツブテ Isitsubute) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves into Graveler starting at level 25, which evolves into Golem when traded.
Biology
Physiology
Geodude is a gray boulder with bulging, rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal eyes with brown irises, and muscular five-fingered arms. It has the ability to levitate, although is not unaffected from attacks from the ground.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Throwing rocks is a common type of offense used by Geodude. As Geodude is also a Ground type, it can use moves like Earthquake. Geodude also possesses the ability to explode.
Behavior
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in caves, which is why they are often mistaken for rocks. Geodude uses its arms to climb steadily up steep mountain paths, hoisting itself over. Geodude also uses its arms to swing its fists around when angered, such as when it is stepped upon carelessly. Geodude are proud of their sturdy bodies and bash against each other in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. Once buried, it will not awaken even if someone steps on it. In the morning, Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.
Habitat
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails, fields, under rocks, or in caves. They are a common sight in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh.

Trivia
- Geodude is one of five Generation I Pokémon that had its base experience yield changed in Generation III. Its former base experience was 86. The others are Abra, Machop, Omanyte, and Kabuto.
- Geodude, along with its evolutions, have been in all Japan-centric regional Pokédexes.
- Geodude has been used by all of the Gym Leaders specializing in the Rock-type. However, Brock does not use Geodude in Generation II and Generation IV as he did in Generation I and Generation III, though he does use its evolved form, Graveler, and in the Fighting Dojo, it evolves into a Golem.
- Geodude are sometimes shown as being able to float as there is a circular shadow underneath them starting in Generation III and onwards. It was also shown floating in the Stadium games and in the Pikachu Short, Pikachu & Pichu. Despite all of these factors it cannot have the Levitate ability or learn Magnet Rise.
- In one episode of Fillmore!, a cheerleading coach instructs her team to build a human pyramid "as strong as a Geodude using its Harden attack". However, Geodude and its evolutions became unable to learn Harden after Generation II.
Origin
Geodude may be based on the "pet rock". However, Geodude may be intended to be nothing more than a living boulder.
Name origin
Geodude's name may be a combination of the prefix geo, earth, and dude, a slang word for a male. It may also be from geode, a usually hollow volcanic rock with crystal inside, and dude. Isitsubute is a combination of 石 ishi, stone, and 礫 tsubute, throwing stones, literally "a stone throwing stones".
