Roggenrola is commonly found deep underground, often in caves or mines, where it forms its body by absorbing minerals from the earth. Its diet consists primarily of mineral-rich rocks, which contribute to its hardened shell. Roggenrola evolves into Boldore when it reaches Level 25, and then into Gigalith when traded.
