Card 047

Boldore is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V, hailing from the Unova region. It is the evolved form of Roggenrola and evolves further into Gigalith when traded. Known as the Ore Pokémon, Boldore's body is comprised of hard, crystalline rock, with a prominent orange crystal on its back that glows when it overflows with power. These crystals are not just for show; they are incredibly sensitive, allowing Boldore to sense changes in its environment, including the presence of underground water in caves where it often resides. Boldore are typically found in mountainous regions and deep caverns, where they can absorb nutrients from the earth to strengthen their mineral bodies. Their diet primarily consists of minerals, which they consume to grow larger and more robust. In the wild, Boldore are generally docile unless provoked, using their sturdy forms to defend their territory. In the Pokémon anime, Boldore is famously featured as one of Ash's Pokémon, evolving from Roggenrola and showcasing its immense strength in battles. Its role in the games often involves being a reliable physical attacker with high defense, making it a staple for many trainers seeking a sturdy Rock-type. Culturally, Boldore represents resilience and the hidden power within natural formations.
