Bonsly (Japanese: ウソハチ 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, though it can easily stand out in a dry environment that lacks greenery. As its green spheres dry out, their dull luster increases. 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. As it cries, it expels both sweat and tears from its eyes; Bonsly sweat tastes a little salty, while the tears are slightly bitter. It dies if it gets too damp with this moisture. This habit also gets enemies to let their guards down. 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.

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."

Sun It does not deal well with water, so it lives in dry locales. Since its surroundings tend to lack greenery, it stands out noticeably.
Moon From its eyes, it can expel excess moisture from its body. This liquid is similar in composition to human sweat.
Ultra Sun It discharges moisture from its eyes, making it look like it's crying—apparently an effective way of getting enemies to let down their guard.
Ultra Moon If its body gets too damp, it will die. So, in a process reminiscent of sweating, its eyes expel moisture.

Trivia

  • Bonsly's English name was revealed on June 16, 2005, which was still before Pokémon Emerald was released in Japan.
  • Bonsly is the only Pokémon 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.
  • Bonsly has the lowest base Special Attack stat of any Pokémon, tied with Shuckle, Feebas, and Alolan Sandshrew.

Origin

Bonsly seems to be based on a bonsai tree (miniature trees grown inside small pots) and petrified wood (plants that have become fossilized over time). This would explain its pure Rock type since all of the organic material in petrified wood is replaced with minerals. It is also reminiscent of a toddler since its flowerpot resembles a diaper and it tends to cry a lot. It may also be based on the concept of mimicry.

Name origin

Bonsly may be a combination of bonsai and sly or lie (referring to how it tricks others into thinking it's a plant).

Usohachi is a combination of 嘘 uso (false) and 鉢 hachi (flowerpot). It may be a play on 嘘っぱち usoppachi (downright lie).
