At rest, it looks just like a rock. Carelessly stepping on it will make it swing its fists angrily.

Strategy Overview

At first appearance, Geodude looks like a slower Dwebble. It shares many traits with the bug, including Sturdy, Stealth Rock, and a Rock typing. However, there are a few things that set Geodude apart from Dwebble. It has access to STAB Earthquake, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, and Sucker Punch, as well as very high Defense and good Attack. Though its power was reduced, Explosion is another strong attack that Geodude possesses. Finally, Geodude has a way of remedying its awful Speed by using Rock Polish. All in all, Geodude is an underestimated threat that teams should take into account.
