Roggenrola is a small rock-like Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. It is the first in a three-step evolutionary line, with its evolved forms being Boldore and Gigalith.

Background

Roggenrola is a species that was discovered a hundred years ago within an earthquake fissure. Each individual Roggenrola contains its own energy core. They have been compressed underground, which makes their bodies harder than steel. They also have ears which are hexagonal in shape.

A Roggenrola will evolve into Boldore at Level 25.

It was shown to have an advanced sense of hearing. It evolved into Boldore while fighting Clay's Excadrill.
