Sudowoodo (Japanese: ウソッキー Usokkie) is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Bonsly when leveled up while knowing Mimic.

In Generation II, its remakes and Pokémon Emerald, wild Sudowoodo can be found blocking the road in inconvenient locations in Johto and Hoenn. In order to engage it in battle, a Trainer must first squirt it with water from either a SquirtBottle or Wailmer Pail.

Biology

Sudowoodo is a Pokémon that has a brown, log-shaped body with yellow spots. It has short legs with toeless feet, and thin forelegs with three green spheres at the ends of its fingers. It has a forked "branch" on top of its head, which is shorter on the female than on the male. Despite its appearance, Sudowoodo's composition is closer to a rock than a plant.

Sudowoodo disguises itself as a tree and stands along paths to avoid being attacked. Its camouflage fails in the winter, as its forelegs remain green, unlike real trees. Sudowoodo is very weak to water and hates it, so whenever it starts to rain, it will break their disguise and flee to the nearest source of shelter. Because it holds its position for so long, its arms have become supple yet strong. It is popular with the elderly, with available magazines and fans devoted to its arm angle and length. Sudowoodo can be found living in forests.

In the anime

Main series

Major appearances

Brock's Sudowoodo

Brock's Bonsly evolved into a Sudowoodo in Leave It To Brocko!. Although it was needy and easily distressed as a Bonsly, Sudowoodo proved a strong and reliable partner.

Other

Sudowoodo debuted in Type Casting. Two Pokémon researchers, Marie and Pierre, were arguing over the issue of whether Sudowoodo as a species is a Grass- or Rock-type. As a result, they pursued one in order to prove their own points to each other.

In Camp Pikachu, a Sudowoodo pretended to be part of a tree and hoarded grapes for itself rather than share them with the Pichu Brothers.

In All That Glitters is Not Golden, Keenan owns a golden Sudowoodo. He experimented on it with the hopes of giving it resistance against Water-type Pokémon, but he made it turn golden in color in the process. Sudowoodo, however, was unhappy with the change and was eventually reverted to its previous type and color scheme.

In Pikachu and the Pokémon Music Squad, a Sudowoodo noticed the fight between Meowth, Chespin, and a Torchic over a Pecha Berry.

In The Power of Us, Callahan saved a Sudowoodo by catching the Golduck that was chasing it. Afterwards, it followed Callahan around before being caught by him.

Trivia

• Sudowoodo was made up by Ken Sugimori. It was made up to serve as an obstacle in the overworld.^[1]
• In Generation II, only one Sudowoodo appears (from being sprayed with water from a SquirtBottle). Similarly, in Generation III, only one Sudowoodo appears—this time as the result of a spray from the Wailmer Pail. However, in Generation IV, the player can get multiple wild Sudowoodo by evolving Bonsly or by catching it in tall grass.
• Sudowoodo's habit of disguising itself as a tree has been occasionally shown in the games.
  • In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Sudowoodo stand still in dungeons, in a similar manner to the Sudowoodo in Johto.
  • In Pokémon X and Y, a Sudowoodo can be encountered in a Horde Encounter with four Trevenant.
  • Starting in Generation VI, Sudowoodo stand still when idle.

Origin

Sudowoodo seems to be based on a small tree and petrified wood, which is a plant that has 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 may also be based on the concept of mimicry.

Name origin

Sudowoodo may be a combination of pseudo (false) and wood.

Usokkie may be a combination of 嘘 uso (false) and 木 ki (wood or tree). It could also derive from 嘘つき usotsuki (liar).
