The weird tree attacked!
 

So, did you catch the "weird tree" that turned out to be Sudowoodo? Did you use it on your team? Anything else you want to add is fine~!

I usually make an effort to catch it, since it's the only one in the game, and I used it in Vietnamese Crystal, I believe. It was pretty useful, even though I didn't know what move I was using most of the time haha. I also like its design. Clever way of making people think "hurrr it's obviously a grass type guys" lol.


Brendino March 14th, 2013 10:14 PM

I did catch the Sudowoodo my first go around on Gold, but never ended up using it. Just like I'm sure many others were, I was tricked into thinking it was a Grass type, and since I already started with Chikorita that time, I just let it go to the PC, and never took it out. I might try using it if I ever play through Gold again, though, since I don't really have any good Rock types on my teams.

Lost Lore March 14th, 2013 10:29 PM

For whatever weird reason, I've always caught the Sudowoodo but I haven't used it much. Heck, I'm sure it's been years since I ever bothered to use it as part of my team, and even then, pretty sure it wasn't permanent. It's got some odd moves it starts off with though... seriously, Low Kick is pretty random.

Also the Crystal sprite always cracks me up. Dem wiggly hips~

Zorogami March 15th, 2013 1:52 AM

Back as a kid i was convinced he was a grass type, and i just couldn't figure out why my fire attacks wouldn't hurt him at all ^^ after i caught him, the mistery was solved. First time i played Crystal i used him in my team, because i liked his design and my first battle with him had become pretty memorable to me. Plus i loved his attack Mimic :3

Nower days, when i played HG, i just caught him, but i automatically thought back to my very first battle with him ^^

Synerjee March 15th, 2013 6:02 AM

Yup. I always catch any rare Pokemon that can only be found once in the whole game, such as that Sudowoodo. I did remember fainting it once before though as I forgot to save before squirting it with the Squirtbottle, ran out of Pokeballs to capture it with and was forced to finish it off.

I also thought at first that it was a grass-type. I tried using moves that were super effective against grass-types on it to bring its health down significantly, but it didn't work and I wondered why. After I captured it only did I realize it was a rock-type. :P

Hi Its Nick March 15th, 2013 6:04 AM

I usually catch him but it all depends on who I have on my team already usually in GSC I have my starter and a Kadabra so I have no use sometimes

Reaper716 March 15th, 2013 6:16 PM

i must catch it no matter use it or not.it really useful if it learns earthquake.i try to mimic the comic main character starter

Golden Warrior March 18th, 2013 7:54 AM

I never was able to catch that. I always try and always fail. I never seem to have the right Pokemon or Pokeballs at the time I battle it. I need to save more often...

Sirfetch’d March 19th, 2013 3:26 PM

I would always catch the Sudowoodo but never use him on my team.

Kikaito plush March 20th, 2013 7:37 AM

If I can remember I always made it faint because my team was too over powered by the time it came up.

Aethestode March 24th, 2013 7:42 AM

Unlike Snorlax, Sudowoodo just looks so ugly, so I never used it. In fact, it reminds me of a guy... even the name.

vaporeon7 March 25th, 2013 12:51 AM

I always caught Sudowoodo because of its once-only status. I thought it was a better addition than some other weak obstacle like in B2W2.

Satoshi Ookami March 26th, 2013 8:01 AM

I always caught it. Sometimes it stayed as Rock Smasher, sometimes was sent to the box immediately.

Guest123_x1 March 26th, 2013 7:06 PM

I always caught the Sudowoodo on every playthrough of G/S/C. However, it always stayed in the box and was never used in battle, because I felt it wasn't all that great for use.

Treecko March 26th, 2013 11:50 PM

I always caught the Sudowoodo in GSC cause as a kid I felt I was required to catch it and if I failed it made me really angry. It's one of those only one of them kind of things so I felt the need to catch it everytime. I'd use it on my team sometime , but never really for long and mostly stayed in my box.

Legobricks March 27th, 2013 8:32 PM

Never did catch it in the second generation.

Olli March 30th, 2013 1:38 PM

In my first few playthroughs of Silver, I did indeed catch it, however I never actually used it, mostly because I kept thinking it was a Grass Pokemon, only to realise it was a Rock type, but also because I at that point, mostly always had my team filled, thought out, or just didn't want it. In my later playthroughs I did catch it just to have it though, but I've never actually used it as a main part of my team. It was several years ago since I last played a second gen game though :(

Magykx March 30th, 2013 1:40 PM

I've always caught Sudowoodo, but the only time I've ever actually used it on my team was the first time I played through Silver years ago. Ever since it just goes straight into the PC.

Megan March 30th, 2013 1:52 PM

On every single playthrough I tryed to catch it. Also I remember that I actually used one (I even got it to max level). Sudowoodo is quiet useful as a rock type pokemon.

Mr. Magius March 31st, 2013 8:50 PM

I caught Sudowoodo and put him on my team for a short time. At the time it was really weak so I ended up dropping it.

Rai April 8th, 2013 3:06 PM

Omg that stupid tree... When I was little, I had no idea how to get past it. I was literally stuck for weeks @[email protected]

Eventually I figured it out and when I saw that the "tree" was a pokemon, I caught it.

Diversion April 8th, 2013 4:49 PM

I caught that Sudowoodo at the first time I played GSC.
I only used it a few times, at the second time I played the game.
It's been useful in my team. Well nowadays, I only catch it for the fun of it.

Kiriyuuki Kasuna April 8th, 2013 6:30 PM

I did catch it of course, or I would not be able to progress further into the game.
Using Sudo was fun back then but as of now, you just need a good rock or rock/ground pokemon to fill the slot in your team imo.

Gen 4, I suppose I did use him for a bit, then put into storage until I needed him again.
More variety in the 4th generation for rock and rock/ground types.

Yusshin April 8th, 2013 8:47 PM

I always catch it, just for the PokeDEX data. I never used it, though. Pure Rock types were/are too vulnerable, and Sudi doesn't really have the greatest move pool imo.

razor8771 April 20th, 2013 8:27 AM

I always caught it.Stupid tree was annoying in the beginning but when i used it the first time ever,i loved it.i always use sudowoodo on my team.i mean,how many rock pokemon in gsc learn rock slide without breeding?

Anszkz.DkLt April 21st, 2013 11:47 AM

I only caught it for novelty but it went straight to my PC and never went back out..

By that time I already had rock hard rock-types from grinding them for hours on end so a wiggly-hipped disoriented-faced Pokemon doesn't have much of a place in a team of hardcore guys such as Typhlosion, Machoke, and (if I recall correctly) Graveller...

Pinkie-Dawn April 21st, 2013 2:32 PM

I didn't know better when I fainted it on my first playthrough on Gold, but now I'm willing to catch it on my second playthrough and its remakes.

Sheep April 22nd, 2013 6:35 PM

I pretty much always catch it since there's only one available but never did use it on my team since it didn't appeal much to me. Maybe one day, but certainly never have before!

tnfsf11 May 8th, 2013 1:32 AM

I thought Sudowoodo was Grass/Fighting, and it turned out to be pure rock.
because F--- Logic.

Khoshi May 8th, 2013 1:37 AM

I caught it, and at the time I captured it, it was the highest level team member. That honour goes to my Flaafy right now, and I prefer Sandslash over Sudowoodo.

JawDane June 1st, 2013 5:06 AM

I always caught the 'weird tree' simply because it was unique. Never EVER used it. Mainly for wild pokemon on the way to the box etc.

Banz June 2nd, 2013 7:02 AM

I dont remember if I caught it in Gold.

I did catch it in Silver and used it for a while before dropping it into the box.

yeahhhboiii June 25th, 2013 7:40 AM

Sudowoodo is my favorite Pokemon of all time.
My first game of Gold I saw it and it looked like it was dancing, I loved it so I caught it. Had no trouble, just 2 Water Guns and Thunder Wave did the trick.
I gave it a Hard Stone, Taught it Rock Slide, Low Kick, EQ, and lucky enough, HP Grass, it wrecked everything in sight.
I just loved it when I swept the Elite 4 with my Sudowoodo and got to see it slide across the screen like it was dancing :D
Sudowoodo will always be the coolest pokemon ever to me.

Dreg June 27th, 2013 3:08 PM

I caught Sudowoodo, but unfortunately, it went straight to the PC, and wasn't used again. I think the only reason I caught it was to add its data to the pokedex.

Dragooncroft June 27th, 2013 5:05 PM

I've caught Sudowoodo during my first run, but unfortunately he's just one of those Pokemon that sits in my PC box unused. :/

It kind of makes me feel guilty now :(
