Sudowoodo

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
==Biology==
=== Psychology ===
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.
=== Behavior ===
Sudowoodo are often mistaken for trees or Grass-types—in fact, this is their greatest defense. In reality, Sudowoodo are Rock-types, mimicking trees to camouflage in forests. Their disguises can fool Grass-, Ground, and Water-types into overlooking them. Additionally, they are also resistant to Flying-, Fire-, and Poison-types, which true Grass-types are weak to. They can be found blending in with trees in forests and parks. Despite their mimicry, however, a few key tell-tale signs can help trainers distinguish ordinary trees from hidden Sudowoodo. On windless days, trees whose branches shudder erratically are often Sudowoodo. After a fresh fall of winter snow, trees that are oddly bare while their surroundings are blanketed in white are also likely Sudowoodo. Finally, Sudowoodo are very hydrophobic—they are deathly afraid of water. They will charge out of hiding if exposed to the substance. If they even sense rain, they will immediately seek shelter elsewhere. Their arms are quite strong, yet flexible, allowing them to hold them up for incredibly long periods of time. Sudowoodo seem to be popular amongst the elderly, who are very particular about their arm lengths and angles; those with larger green orbs are more desirable.
===Natural abilities===
Sudowoodo have the Rock Head and Sturdy Abilities. Sudowoodo, although a type, looks more like a type by use of adaptive mimicry. Because of this, foes might be fooled, and not use type attacks (which types are resistant to, and types are weak to). Sudowoodo can camouflage itself as a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. Sudowoodo may look like a tree, but if you try to water it, it will attempt to escape.
In several manga, Sudowoodo displays the ability to turn giant. In the Golden Boys manga, Sudowoodo does this by covering itself with dried mud.
==Gender differences==
Male Sudowoodo have thicker antennae than female Sudowoodo.
==Evolution==
Sudowoodo is the evolved form of its baby form, Bonsly, as of level 17 and then teaching it the move Mimic, or vice-versa.

===Origin===
Sudowoodo is based on petrified wood and the concept of Batesian mimicry, in which an organism resembles a different organism that's more dangerous to would-be threats in order to deter them (in this case, Sudowoodo mimics a Grass-type to deter Water-types).
===Etymology===
Sudowoodo comes from "pseudo-" (false) and "wood."
Usokkī, its Japanese name, may comes from 嘘 (uso, lie), 木 (ki, tree or wood), and/or 嘘つき (usotsuki, liar).
