Strategy Overview

Geodude is a solid SturdyJuice Stealth Rock lead, with powerful STAB attacks, a base 100 Defense, and a base 80 Attack. It has poor Speed, but it is able to bypass this with Sucker Punch. However, Geodude fulfills a role that many other Pokemon do. Drilbur can also set Stealth Rock, and can remove them as well and is faster and more powerful. Geodude, however, has a Rock / Ground typing, which allows it to have two different viable STAB attacks. Geodude also faces competition from Onix and Bonsly. Geodude has Counter, Sucker Punch, and more power than Onix, but doesn't have as much Speed and doesn't get Taunt. Because of its typing, Geodude gets STAB Earthquake over Bonsly, but also is weaker to Water-, Grass-, and Ice-type attacks.
