Sudowoodo is a Pokémon that originally appeared in the second generation Pokémon games as rare Pokémon which could only encountered once per game (in a manner similar to Snorlax from the first generation). The Pokémon has since become common in Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl Versions.

Information

Sudowoodo is a small Pokémon that resembles a tree. However, it is actually a Rock-type and merely imitates a tree to avoid being attacked. Sudowoodo can be easily distinguished from actual trees during the winter, as its forelegs remain green even though most plantlife is dead during that season. Sudowoodo is also known for its hatred of water, leading it to seek shelter from rain. Inert Sudowoodo could also be awakened by being sprinkled with water.

Sudowoodo evolves from a baby form, Bonsly, after Bonsly levels up with the move Mimic.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Gold, Silver and Crystal versions, a Sudowoodo is found blocking Route 36. It can be battled after it is woken with the Squirtbottle item. In Pokémon: Emerald Version, it is found on the Battle Frontier and is woken with the Wailmer Pail.

In Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl Versions, Sudowoodo could be obtained by evolving Bonsly. Wild Sudowoodo were also found on Routes 214 and 221 in Pearl Version.

Other Games

Sudowoodo appears in Pokémon Stadium 2, Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. In Colosseum, Miror B. uses a Shadow Sudowoodo in his first battle with Wes. The Sudowoodo could be snagged from Miror and, after it was purified, transferred into the Gameboy Advance games.

Sudowood also appears in Pokémon Channel, where it can be found on Mt. Snowfall on cloudy days or evenings. In Pokémon Trozei!, Sudowoodo is found in Secret Storage 4, Trozei Battle and Mr. Who's Den. Sudowoodo is found in the Sinister Woods in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.
