It evolves into Boldore starting at level 25, and then into Gigalith when traded. This sturdy Pokémon resembles a geode with a dark blue, hexagonal body and several brown, rock-like appendages. Its most striking feature is a yellow, hexagonal core visible through an opening in its body, described in the Pokédex as an "energy core." Roggenrola is often found deep within caves, having been discovered a hundred years ago in an earthquake fissure. Its diet consists of minerals, which it absorbs through its body. In the anime, Roggenrola made its debut alongside Ash's Roggenrola, showcasing its powerful Rock-type moves. Its design emphasizes its geological origins and its role as a foundational Rock-type Pokémon in the Unova region.
