Brock's Sudowoodo (Japanese: タケシのウソッキー Takeshi's Usokkie) was the only Pokémon caught by Brock in the Battle Frontier saga; when Sudowoodo was a Bonsly. It is voiced by 阪口大助 Daisuke Sakaguchi in Japanese and by Bill Rogers in English. In Brazil, as a Bonsly, when its voice couldn't be retained, it was voiced by Gilmara Sanches.
History
Brock captured Bonsly in the episode From Cradle to Save, while Ash, May, Max and himself were training at a ninja school in the Kanto Battle Frontier. Being much younger than the other Pokémon, Bonsly was portrayed as a needy and child-like, and Brock was often seen bottle-feeding him until he could eat normal food.
Bonsly occasionally took over from Max in getting Brock away from girls. However, rather than pull his ear, Bonsly hit him with a powerful Take Down.
Brock entered Bonsly in a Pokémon Contest in What I Did for Love.
When Brock joined up with Ash in Sinnoh, Bonsly was the only Pokémon he brought with him. In A Staravia is Born!, Bonsly learns the move Mimic, so in Leave It To Brocko, Bonsly evolves into Sudowoodo.
Since its evolution, it has matured and is no longer a crybaby. In fact, it is very upbeat, as seen in All Dressed Up With Somewhere to Go when it recovered from a crushing disappointment almost instantly. It has also shown a significant increase in its power and battling skills. Instead of being needy and heavily reliant on Brock's care, Sudowoodo is eager to help Brock in almost any task. In almost all regards, it has grown from a typical baby Pokémon into a strong adult Pokémon, a true testament to Brock's talents as a Pokémon Breeder. It also has an odd tendency to salute Brock whenever it is called from its Poké Ball.
Sudowoodo may have bonded with Happiny. It has been seen sleeping with her and dancing for her.

Trivia
- For DP019, Professor Oak's lecture is about Brock's Sudowoodo. He writes this Pokémon senryū about it: しんかして もうなかないよ ウソッキー You've evolved, so don't cry anymore, Usokkie.
- Despite Brock originally being Kanto's Rock-specialist Gym Leader, Sudowoodo is only the third Template:Type2 Pokémon Brock has owned in the entire series. It's also the first pure Rock-type owned by him.
- Sudowoodo is Brock's third Pokémon from the Mineral Egg Group. His first two were Geodude and Onix (who evolved into Steelix)
- Sudowoodo was the second of five Generation II Pokémon to be in the party of a member of the main cast during the Diamond & Pearl series, preceded by Aipom and followed by Gligar, Yanma, and Swinub (third if one counts Wobbuffet).
- Sudowoodo's ability is confirmed to be Sturdy, as it does take recoil damage from Take Down, which Rock Head prevents.
