English Name: Sudowoodo
Japanese Name: Usokki
Generation: 2
Type: Rock
Species: Imitation Pokémon
Abilities: Rock Head, Sturdy, Rattled (hidden ability)
Evolution: Bonsly > Sudowoodo
Sudowoodo has a brown, log-shaped body with yellow spots. It has short legs with toeless feet and thin forelegs with three green spheres at the ends. It has a forked “branch” on top of its head, which is shorter on the female than on the male. Despite its appearance, Sudowoodo’s composition is closer to a rock than a plant.
Sudowoodo disguises itself as a tree and stands along paths to avoid being attacked. Its camouflage fails in the winter, as its forelegs remain green unlike real trees. Sudowoodo is very weak to water and hates it, so it flees when it starts to rain. Sudowoodo can be found living in forests.
