Budew - Bonsly

Bonsly

Bonsly (ウソハチ?, Usohachi in Japanese language trademarks) is a small pot-like creature resembling a bonsai tree. Despite its tree-like appearance, Bonsly is actually made of rock. Bonsly often shed tears, though it has been found out that those are "fake tears", and that it is adjusting its body fluid level. Appropriately enough, it can learn the move Fake Tears, which sharply decreases its target's Special Defense. Wild Bonsly exist only in the Pearl Version, and upon learning how to Mimic, they evolve into the familiar Sudowoodo.

The species was introduced in 2004 in an issue of Coro Coro Magazine. It was included in the 2005 game Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, where the player must rescue one from the wreckage of S.S. Libra and reunite it with its trainer, a small girl. Completing the quest also unlocks the "Bonsly Card" for the game's Battle Bingo mode, where Bonsly can be used in battle. It also appears as a statue in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team as a reward. Its first anime appearance is in the eighth Pokémon movie, Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Bonsly first appeared in the main video game series in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Bonsly also appears in the "From Cradle to Save" episode, where Brock obtains it. Brock's Bonsly eventually evolved into Sudowoodo. In the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Bonsly makes an appearance as a Poké Ball Pokémon. When let out, it can be hefted by players to chuck at opponents, dealing massive damage upon contact.
