Bonsly (Japanese: ???? Usohachi) is a Rock-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Sudowoodo when leveled up while knowing Mimic.

Biology

Bonsly is a round, brown Pokémon with the top of its head resembling a club (♣). A rim goes around the middle of its body. There are three yellow spots on its face, two of which surround its eyes, which are small black dots. It has short legs and toeless feet. Bonsly also has a hole on its rear similar to the draining hole of a flowerpot.

Bonsly is a good mimic, making it often mistaken for a real bonsai tree. It can remain in the same spot for a long time. It also has a habit of crying, not because it is sad or needing attention, but rather it is due to excess moisture in its body. It prefers dry areas, but it isn't uncommon to see one in a garden. As suggested by Brock's Bonsly, a very young Bonsly needs to be bottle-fed but can eat solid food when it matures.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
AG156 Bonsly Ash's Pokédex Bonsly, the Bonsai Pokémon. Bonsly is the pre-evolved form of Sudowoodo. Although it looks like a Grass Pokémon, it is actually a Rock-type. When it collects too much moisture, it produces fake tears to get rid of it.
This concludes the entries from the Advanced Generation series.
Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP004 Bonsly Dawn's Pokédex Bonsly, the Bonsai Pokémon. Being a Rock-type, it can get weak if its body contains too much water, so it secretes that water from both sides of its body to regulate it.
This concludes the entries from the Diamond & Pearl series.

Other appearances

 
Bonsly in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Bonsly appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a Poké Ball Pokémon. Once released, characters can pick it up and throw it at other players. Due to its weight, characters holding it can only move very slowly and it can't be thrown very far, but a direct hit does massive damage and can result in a knockout within two hits (at 0% damage).

Trophy information

"A Bonsai Pokémon. It looks like a plant, but history reveals it is actually a Rock-type. Its best move among all its specialty moves is Fake Tears. As it grows, it will be skilled at using Mimic, which allows it to copy an opponent's previous move. If leveled up under certain conditions, it evolves into Sudowoodo."

Trivia

  • Bonsly's English name was revealed on June 16, 2005.
  • Bonsly is the only Pokémon yet that is usable in-game by a player during the generation before its release, as it was on the Battle Bingo Bonsly card.
  • Both Bonsly and Munchlax had their cries revealed at the same time, in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, being the first Generation IV Pokémon to receive this treatment.

Origin

It may be based on petrified wood, plants which have become fossilized over time, placed into a flowerpot. Similarly, it may simply be modeled on the bonsai tree itself.

Name origin

Bonsly is a combination of bonsai (miniature tree) and sly or lie.

Usohachi is a combination of ? uso (false) and ? hachi (flowerpot). It may be a play on ???? usoppachi (downright lie).
