SUDOWOODO camouflages itself as a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. However, because the forelegs remain green throughout the year, the POKéMON is easily identified as a fake during the winter. |

LeafGreen | Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears to be closer to a rock than a plant. |

Moon | Apparently, the larger the green parts of this Pokémon, the more collectors value it. It’s a particular favorite among elderly people. |
Ultra Sun | It’s so popular with the elderly that there’s a magazine devoted to this Pokémon. Fans obsess over the particular length and angle of its arms. |
