Flavor Text

: To avoid attack, it mimics a tree. It will run off if splashed with water, which it hates.
: Apparently, the larger the green parts of this Pokémon, the more collectors value it. It’s a particular favorite among elderly people.
: It’s so popular with the elderly that there’s a magazine devoted to this Pokémon. Fans obsess over the particular length and angle of its arms.
: The result of its holding the same pose all the time is arms that have become supple yet strong.

: If a tree branch shakes when there is no wind, it’s a Sudowoodo, not a tree. It hides from the rain.
: It disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining.
