Geodude

Brock's Geodude in the anime

Brock's Geodude debuted in Showdown in Pewter City, during Ash's rematch at the Pewter Gym. It shrugged off Pidgeotto and won that round, then fell to a Pikachu Thunderbolt even though Ground types are immune to Electric attacks. Brock later entered it in the P1 Grand Prix, where it lost in the first round.

Geodude on cards: Fossil, Brock's Geodude and Alolan Geodude
