Boldore (Japanese: ガントル Gantle) is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Roggenrola starting at level 25 and evolves into Gigalith when traded.

Biology

Boldore is a blue, rock-like Pokémon with an array of red crystals on its back and front, and a spine protruding from between its yellow ears. Rocky chunks at its sides comprise pincer-like limbs, tipped with red crystals similar to the ones on its back. Its orange crystals are the hardened form of its endlessly leaking energy.

Its crystals shines brightly when its power rises. Because its crystals are valuable, a fragment being capable of powering a hundred dump trucks, Boldore are targeted for it. It searches for underground water in the caves where it lives. It always faces the same way, never moving in a diagonal direction.

Sun Its orange crystal is a mass of energy. Just one crystal fragment would provide enough fuel for a hundred dump trucks.
Moon It explores caves in search of underground water. It's not comfortable around water, so this Pokémon takes great care in lapping it up.
Ultra Sun The energy overflowing from its body has turned into orange crystals that are hard enough to smash diamonds.
Ultra Moon Its orange crystals are lumps of powerful energy. They're valuable, so Boldore is sometimes targeted for them.
