Armaldo (Japanese: アーマルド Armaldo) is a Rock/Bug-type Pokémon.
Biology
Armaldo is a fossilized, prehistoric Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be evolved from an Anorith resurrected from a Claw Fossil.
Physiology
Armaldo has a long neck, and two blade-like arms. It is covered in thick, heavy-duty, armored plates. Hence, the name, the Plate Pokémon. Armaldo's tough armor makes all attacks bounce off. This Pokémon's two enormous claws can be freely extended or contracted. They have the power to punch right through a steel slab. An amphibious Pokémon, it usually lives on land. However, when it hunts for prey, it dives beneath the ocean. It swims around using its two large wings.
Gender differences
