Sudowoodo

Sudowoodo (/ˌsuːdoʊˈwuːdoʊ/), known in Japan as Usokkie (Japanese: ウソッキー, Hepburn: Usokkī), is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon media franchise, and the evolved form of the Pokémon Bonsly. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Gold and Silver, it began as a relatively rare Pokémon, serving as an obstacle that blocks the player's path, until becoming more common starting with Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, in which Bonsly was introduced. Since Sudowoodo's debut, it has appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as various merchandise.

Classified as a Rock-type Pokémon, Sudowoodo mimics trees, standing still with its arms up. When exposed to water, it will run or lash out against the player-character for spraying them. Due its tree mimicry, players of Gold and Silver were often confused to discover that it was not a Grass-type Pokémon. Its resemblance to trees is touched upon, sometimes seen with other tree-like Pokémon species and a specific Sudowoodo becoming a Grass-type Pokémon when using an ability called Terastallization. It has been a source of inspiration for multiple bands, including Pinguini Tattici Nucleari, which named a song after it, and Moglebaum, a German band named after its German name.
