Geodude's stats are all generally dismal with poor speed, and limited base stats in all except for a few: its attack (base 80) and its incredible base defense of 100, superb for a basic Pokemon. In addition to this, Geodude's evolved form, Graveler, learns the good moves Magnitude (10 different random powers) and Rollout, a strengthened Rock version of Fury Cutter. These make Geodude an excellent Pokemon for its type, with solid attack and defensive stats. The primary problem with Geodude is that they have two types to which they are extremely weak (quadruple damage), grass and water.
