It evolves from Boldore when traded. It is the final form of Roggenrola.

Biology

Gigalith is a blue, quadrupedal Pokémon, with various spiny, crystal-like red features jutting out of its body. Its limbs have gray joints and are topped with red crystalline features, with the two claws on each limb being similar features. It has a red eye inside each ear. Several of the crystalline features are present on its face; three below its eyes, one in the middle resembling a crest, and other crystals to the sides of its head.

Gigalith compresses energy in the core inside its body, allowing it to fire attacks powerful enough to blow away mountains. When it fires these attacks at full power, the sheer force of the blast creates multiple cracks on its body. It can also store sunlight in its orange crystals, magnify it within its body, and shoot powerful energy balls that can destroy dump trucks from its mouth, though it loses this ability at night or during rain. It lives in caves and tunnels deep underground. Gigalith is a hardy Pokémon with hefty horsepower and is a popular partner for construction workers and miners. In Galar, it works with Copperajah in construction sites and mines.

Major appearances

Gigalith debuted in Ash Versus the Champion!, where it was rampaging around a town. Alder managed to stop it with his bare hands, and then, he found out that the reason for Gigalith's rampage was a nail that had gotten stuck in the bottom of one of its feet.

Minor appearances

In Strong Strategy Steals the Show!, Kenton used a Gigalith during the fourth round of the Vertress Conference and battled Cameron's Riolu, but it lost.

In Genesect and the Legend Awakened, a Gigalith was living at Pokémon Hills.

Trivia

Gigalith was first seen in a Triple Battle with teammates Reuniclus and Gothitelle against Blitzle, Darmanitan, and Drilbur, during an Oha Suta episode which aired on June 27, 2010. It was not revealed in earnest until August 7, 2010.
Gigalith is the only pure Rock-type third-stage Pokémon.
Gigalith's evolutionary family shares similarities with Golem's evolutionary family. Both of them are Rock-type, learn Stealth Rock, Smack Down, Explosion, Stone Edge, and Rock Blast by level-up, first evolve at level 25, and then reach the final evolutionary stage by trading.

Origin

Gigalith seems to be based on a crystal formation.

Name origin

Gigalith may be a combination of γίγας gigas, Greek for giant, and λίθος lithos, Greek for stone. It may also refer to megalith or monolith.

Gigaiath may be a combination of γίγας gigas and Γαῖα Gaia, the Greek goddess personifying the Earth. It may also involve Goliath.
