From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Ferrothorn (Japanese: ナットレイ Nutrey) is a dual-type Grass/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves from Ferroseed starting at level 40.
Biology
Ferrothorn is a Pokémon resembling a flattened durian. Its metallic body is covered in thorns, with three black stripes circling its width. The middle stripe has triangular shapes just below its eyes, which have green rims, yellow sclerae, and dark pupils. There is a green spike at the top of its body, and extending around it are its feelers, which are vine-like, long green appendages tipped with spiky metal disks.
Ferrothorn can use these feelers to either cling onto the ceilings of a cave or walk around. Ferrothorn also uses the feelers to absorb nutrients from rocks. It attacks by shooting its spikes, which are harder than steel. Ferrothorn's attacks are strong enough to pulverize boulders.
Prior to Generation VII, Ferrothorn and its pre-evolved form, Ferroseed, were the only known Pokémon that could have Iron Barbs as an Ability.

Trivia
Origin
Ferrothorn is based on certain plants whose seeds stick to clothing,[1] such as cockleburs, burdocks, or cleavers. Ferrothorn could also be based on durians or the Tribulus; the latter is a species of thorny plants whose name also refers to caltrops, which are thorny metallic traps used to slow down invading troops. Its vines resemble military flails, while their use as such is comparable to some water liles, which grow thorny buds from long petioles and wildly swing them around to kill neighbouring plants.
Name origin
Ferrothorn may be a combination of ferrous (containing iron) and thorn.
Nutrey may be a combination of nut and 唖鈴 arei (dumbbell).
