Like most of Brock's Pokémon, Geodude received very little screentime. Brock typically used Geodude in situations in which he needed to battle, but could not use because of its enormous size.

====Personality and characteristics====
Geodude received very little character development as it did not receive much screen time. However, it comes across as markedly mature and tough. This was shown by the fact that it shoved Larvitar into the sand headfirst, during Entei at Your Own Risk, having no patience for babying it like Ash, Pikachu, and the others. It is very fond of its Trainer, who has trained it for many years, and was known to polish Geodude for maintenance. In When Regions Collide!, in contrast to its serious personality, it showed its excitement when seeing Misty's Psyduck again and even gave it a high-five.
