Pokédex entries
Gold | Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears to be closer to a rock than a plant. |
---|---|
Silver | It disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining. |
Crystal | If a tree branch shakes when there is no wind, it’s a SUDOWOODO, not a tree. It hides from the rain. |
Ruby Sapphire | 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. |
FireRed | It disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining. |
LeafGreen | Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears to be closer to a rock than a plant. |
Emerald | It mimics a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. But since its forelegs remain green throughout the year, it is easily identified as a fake in the winter. |
