Read more ↓Golisopod is a formidable Bug/Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII, evolving from the timid Wimpod. Known for its imposing armored physique and swift, decisive movements, Golisopod is a creature of contrasts—its pre-evolution is notoriously skittish, while Golisopod itself is a powerful and confident combatant. Its natural habitat includes rocky beaches and coastal areas, where it can be found lurking in caves or among the tide pools, patiently waiting for prey. Golisopod is an omnivore, feeding on smaller Pokémon and scavenged marine life. In the games, it's notably associated with Guzma, the leader of Team Skull, who uses a Golisopod as his ace Pokémon, highlighting its ferocity and loyalty. Its design, reminiscent of a samurai, gives it a distinct cultural significance, symbolizing strength and discipline. Golisopod’s Bug/Water typing gives it unique matchups, being strong against Fire, Ground, Rock, Grass, and Psychic types, but vulnerable to Electric, Flying, and Rock attacks.
