Known as the Copperderm Pokémon, Cufant is characterized by its large, robust body and distinctive trunk, which it uses with surprising dexterity to dig and manipulate objects. Its skin, reminiscent of copper, is prone to tarnishing if exposed to water in the wild, though it gains a vibrant green hue when polished, a trait that makes it popular among trainers who appreciate its unique aesthetic. Cufant is the pre-evolution of Copperajah, a much larger and even more powerful Steel-type Pokémon. In the wild, Cufant are often found in mountainous regions or industrial areas, where their strength and digging abilities are put to good use. They are herbivores, primarily feeding on mineral-rich rocks and soil, which contributes to the hardness of their bodies. In the games, Cufant often appears as an early-game Steel-type option, providing a sturdy presence for trainers. Its evolution, Copperajah, plays a significant role in the lore of Galar, being one of the Pokémon used by Chairman Rose. Its gentle yet strong nature has made it a memorable addition to the Pokémon world.
