Read more ↓Boldore is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, evolving from Roggenrola and eventually into Gigalith when traded. This Pokémon is known for its distinct crystalline body, formed from the high-pressure conditions of the deep caves and mountains where it typically resides. Its body is composed of several large, dark blue crystalline segments, with numerous smaller, reddish-pink crystals protruding from its surface, which are said to be energy that leaked out because it was too great to be contained. Boldore uses these crystals not only for defense but also to absorb energy from the ground, which it stores and can release in powerful bursts. Its habitat often includes areas rich in mineral deposits, making it a common sight for miners and geologists in the Unova region. In the Pokémon games and anime, Boldore often portrays a strong, stoic character, valued for its robust physical capabilities and its role as a reliable team member. Its evolution, Gigalith, is a formidable force, widely recognized for its incredible strength and defensive prowess, making Boldore a crucial middle stage in a powerful evolutionary line.
