Read more ↓Ferroseed, the Thorn Seed Pokémon, is a Steel and Grass-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves into Ferrothorn starting at level 40. Ferroseed is known for its spherical body covered in sharp, green spikes, which it uses for both defense and propulsion. These spikes allow it to attach to cave ceilings, where it absorbs minerals from the rock. Its natural habitat includes caves and dark, moist areas where it can thrive on mineral-rich environments. Ferroseed is primarily a herbivore, sustaining itself by absorbing nutrients from its surroundings. In the Pokémon games, Ferroseed is often encountered in caves and is valued for its strong defensive capabilities once it evolves into Ferrothorn. Its role in the anime is generally minor, appearing as a wild Pokémon in various episodes. Culturally, Ferroseed represents resilience and adaptability, capable of surviving in harsh, unlit environments by drawing sustenance from unexpected sources. Its unique design, resembling a mine or a seed pod, adds to its distinctive charm within the Pokémon world.
