Ferrothorn(JP) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a dual-type Grass/Steel Pokémon that made its first appearance in the fifth Pokémon generation in the Black and White games. It evolves from Ferroseed at level 40.

Physiology and Behaviour[]

Ferrothorn is a Pokémon resembling a flattened durian. Its metallic body is covered in thorns, with three black stripes circling its width, the middle stripe having triangular decorations below the eyes of Ferrothorn. Its eyes have green rims, yellow sclerae, and dark pupils. There is a green spike at the top of its body, and extending around it are vine-like, long green appendages tipped with spiky metal disks.

Ferrothorn can use these feelers to either cling onto the ceilings of a cave or walk around. Ferrothorn also uses the feelers to absorb nutrients from rocks. It attacks by shooting its spikes, which are harder than steel. Ferrothorn's attacks are strong enough to pulverize boulders.
