Sudowoodo

Imitation Pokémon

Rock

SUDOWOODO camouflages itself as a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. However, because the forelegs remain green throughout the year, the POKéMON is easily identified as a fake during the winter.

Strategy Overview

Sudowoodo faces direct competition from Graveler and Relicanth as a Rock-type in the NU tier, but it carves a place for itself by being less susceptible to Grass- and Water-type attacks and sporting a slightly higher Attack stat than both. A neutrality to Electric and missing STAB on Earthquake can be a significant downside when considering it over Graveler and other Rock-types like Pupitar, but a wider movepool, including access to both Explosion and Focus Punch, ensures it has a place on teams needing a solid Rock-type that doesn't just cave in to the abundance of Grass- and Water-types in the tier.
