Brock's Geodude (Japanese: タケシのイシツブテ Takeshi's Isitsubute) was the second Pokémon acquired by Brock in the anime, and he also has one in most of the games he appears in.
In the anime
Geodude was first seen in Brock's rematch with Ash at the Pewter City Gym. It was used against Pidgeotto where it was shown to have a powerful defense, not even being fazed by Pidgeotto's gust, and managed to defeat it without using a single attack. It was then used against Pikachu but was defeated by a very powerful Thunderbolt, despite the fact that it is immune to Electric moves.
Similar to most of Brock's Pokémon, Geodude received very little screentime. Brock typically used it in situations in which he needed to battle, but could not use Onix because of its enormous size.
Brock entered Geodude in the P1 Grand Prix in The Punchy Pokémon, despite it lacking Template:Type2 characteristics. It lost in the first round to Giant's Hitmonlee which was used by Team Rocket.
In the Christmas special, Geodude was seen helping Delibird retrieve its presents. It was also seen having a snowball fight with the rest of the Pokémon.
Brock gave Geodude and two of his other Pokémon to his younger brother, Forrest, who took on the role of Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym.
Geodude was later used by Forrest in Grating Spaces! to fight Team Rocket. It was revealed to have learned Sandstorm during its time at the Gym.

Trivia
- Geodude is the only Generation I Pokémon Brock owns that hasn't evolved yet, despite its game counterpart presumably being shown as a Graveler in Generation II, and eventually a Golem by the rematch in HGSS. His Zubat and Onix already evolved to their final forms, and Vulpix is owned by a different Trainer: Suzy.
- Geodude is the only one of Brock's Pokémon which has not had the circumstances of its capture shown in the anime.
- Geodude was not shown using any moves until 20 episodes after its debut.
