Read more ↓Roggenrola, the Mantle Pokémon, is a pure Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves into Boldore starting at level 25, which then evolves into Gigalith when traded. Roggenrola is known for its hard, hexagonal body and a single, vibrant yellow eye. Its body is said to be harder than steel, and it can withstand powerful impacts. These Pokémon typically inhabit caves and mountainous regions, where they are often found nestled among rocks, blending seamlessly with their environment. They are known to be quite sensitive to sound, and a sudden loud noise will cause them to start moving. Roggenrola's diet consists primarily of mineral-rich rocks, which contribute to the density and strength of its outer shell. In the anime, Roggenrola often appears as a wild Pokémon, sometimes causing minor disruptions due to its natural rock-moving tendencies. Its sturdy nature and simple yet distinctive design have made it a memorable early-game Rock-type for many trainers. As a Rock-type, Roggenrola is strong against Fire, Ice, Flying, and Bug types, and weak against Water, Grass, Fighting, Ground, and Steel types. It plays a foundational role in many trainers' teams in the Unova region, offering a solid defense early in their journey.
