| Versions | Pokédex entry |
|---|---|
| Gold | Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composi tion appears to be closer to a rock than a plant. |
| Silver | It disguises it self as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining. |
| Crystal | If a tree branch shakes when there is no wind, it's a SUDOWOODO, not a tree. It hides from the rain. |
| Ruby, Sapphire | SUDOWOODO camouflages itself as a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. However, because the forelegs remain green throughout the year, the POKéMON is easily identified as a fake during the winter. |
| Emerald | It mimics a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. But since its forelegs remain green throughout the year, it is easily identified as a fake in the winter. |
| FireRed | It disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining. |
| LeafGreen | Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears to be closer to a rock than a plant. |
| Diamond | Despite appearing to be a tree, its body is closer to rocks and stones. It is very weak to water. |
| Pearl | It stands along paths pretending to be a tree. If it starts raining, it seems to disappear. |
| Platinum, Black, White, Black 2, White 2 | To avoid being attacked, it does nothing but mimic a tree. It hates water and flees from rain. |
| HeartGold | Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears more similar to rock than to vegetation. |
| SoulSilver | It disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining. |
| X | Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears more similar to rock than to vegetation. |
| Y, Shield | It disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining. |
| Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire | Sudowoodo camouflages itself as a tree to avoid being attacked by enemies. However, because its hands remain green throughout the year, the Pokémon is easily identified as a fake during the winter. |
| Sun | To avoid attack, it mimics a tree. It will run off if splashed with water, which it hates. |
| Moon | Apparently, the larger the green parts of this Pokémon, the more collectors value it. It’s a particular favorite among elderly people. |
| Ultra Sun | 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. |
| Ultra Moon | The result of its holding the same pose all the time is arms that have become supple yet strong. |
| Sword | If a tree branch shakes when there is no wind, it’s a Sudowoodo, not a tree. It hides from the rain. |
| Legends: Arceus | Though it pretends to be a tree, it fails to fool even children. To the touch, its body feels more like rock than tree bark. Sudowoodo's extreme aversion to water merits special note. |
