Revision 1

Overview

Sudowoodo is a Rock-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Imitation Pokemon (Dex #166). Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears more similar to rock than to vegetation. Sudowoodo is the evolved form of Bonsly in the main series. It carries the Trade specialty, which lets it exchange items with the player at a cash register.

Habitats

Sudowoodo can be found at two habitats.

Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass (#099)

Pokemon are drawn to this place, invited by the damp aroma of the red tall grass.

Sudowoodo appears as a Rare visitor at this habitat. It is available during all times of day (Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night) and in all weather conditions (Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy). Other visitors include Bonsly (Common), Diglett (Common), and Dugtrio (Rare).

House Party (#123)

Help yourself to food and drinks, and have a total blast with all your friends.

Sudowoodo is a Common visitor at the House Party habitat. It is available during all times of day (Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night) and in all weather conditions (Sunny, Cloudy, Rainy). Dugtrio also appears here as a Common visitor.

How to Befriend

For the easiest route to befriending Sudowoodo, build the House Party habitat where it appears as a Common visitor. If you already have the Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass set up, you can wait for Sudowoodo to appear there as a Rare visitor, but it will take longer. The House Party requires a Food Counter, Paper Party Cups, and Plated Food.

Specialty: Trade

Sudowoodo has the Trade specialty. Pokemon with the Trade specialty can exchange items with the player at a cash register. When a cash register is placed near Sudowoodo's habitat, it will occasionally staff the register and offer item trades. This is different from Bonsly's Bulldoze specialty, giving Sudowoodo a unique economic role on your island. Other Pokemon with the Trade specialty include Golem, Wigglytuff, Murkrow, and Honchkrow.

Preferences

Sudowoodo prefers dry environments and dry-flavored food, fitting its rock-type nature. Despite looking like a tree, it gravitates toward stone and hard items rather than plant-themed decorations. It does enjoy natural surroundings and wooden furniture, which aligns with its tree-like disguise. Place these items near its habitat to raise its Comfort Level.

Related Pokemon

Sudowoodo is paired with Bonsly (Dex #165). In the main Pokemon series, Bonsly evolves into Sudowoodo when it levels up while knowing Mimic. In Pokopia, both share the Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass habitat, with Bonsly as a Common visitor and Sudowoodo as Rare. Sudowoodo gains the Trade specialty while Bonsly has Bulldoze, giving the two distinct roles on your island.

Tips

• The House Party habitat is the easier path to befriending Sudowoodo since it appears there as a Common visitor. The Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass is an alternative, but Sudowoodo is Rare there.

• Sudowoodo's Trade specialty makes it a valuable shopkeeper. Place a cash register near its habitat to unlock item trading.

• Building the Tree-shaded Red Tall Grass habitat lets you work toward four Pokemon at once: Bonsly (Common), Diglett (Common), Sudowoodo (Rare), and Dugtrio (Rare).

• Despite its tree-like appearance, Sudowoodo is a Rock-type Pokemon. Its preferences for stone stuff and hard items reflect this, while its likes for nature and wooden stuff play into its disguise.
