Known for its heavily armored, spherical body, Forretress is essentially a giant, living pine cone covered in steel plating. It camouflages itself by attaching tree bark to its shell, and when threatened, it can rapidly open its shell to launch sharp pieces of itself at foes. This defense mechanism is a key aspect of its behavior, reflecting its strategic and somewhat reclusive nature. Forretress typically inhabits forests and mountainous regions, often found clinging to trees. In the games, it is often utilized for its high defensive stats and access to entry hazards like Spikes and Stealth Rock, making it a formidable tank. In the anime, it made notable appearances, particularly as Brock's Pokémon, showcasing its protective and resilient characteristics. Its design and abilities highlight themes of defense and adaptation, making it a memorable Pokémon for many fans.
