Read more ↓Golisopod, the Hard Scale Pokémon, is a formidable Bug/Water type introduced in Generation VII. It is the evolved form of Wimpod, a notoriously timid Pokémon. Golisopod's lore suggests a creature that has overcome its fear to become a powerful and strategic fighter. It is known for its incredible strength and speed, capable of delivering a devastating "First Impression" attack. In the Alola region, where it originates, Golisopod inhabits coastal areas and rocky shores, often found in deep-sea trenches. Its diet primarily consists of smaller aquatic Pokémon, which it ambushes with surprising agility despite its robust armor. Golisopod's behavior is characterized by its quick reflexes and cunning tactics, often retreating at the first sign of a disadvantage, only to return with a more strategic approach. In the Pokémon games, Golisopod is a popular choice for trainers seeking a powerful physical attacker with a unique ability. Its prominent role in the Pokémon Sun and Moon anime, particularly as Guzma's signature Pokémon, cemented its place in popular culture as a symbol of resilience and unexpected power. Its dual typing offers interesting matchups, being strong against Grass and Psychic types while vulnerable to Electric, Flying, and Rock attacks.
