Summary
Gigalith is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Boldore when traded. It is the final form of Roggenrola. 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.

Summary
Roggenrola is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves into Boldore starting at level 25, which evolves into Gigalith when traded. Its body houses an energy core; due to compression underground, both this core and Roggenrola's body are as hard as steel. Roggenrola is born deep underground, and compares its hard body with that of Geodude and Carbink. Roggenrola has sensitive hearing and can hear sounds that are inaudible to humans. It tends to follow the sounds it picks up with its lone ear, panicking if these sounds cease. Dwebble is a natural enemy of Roggenrola. Sometimes Rhyperior mistakes this Pokémon for an ordinary rock and fires them through their hands.

Because its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals.

When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right.

Summary
Boldore is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Roggenrola starting at level 25 and evolves into Gigalith when traded. Boldore's crystals shine brightly when it begins overflowing with power or when it is preparing to fire bursts of energy. Because its crystals are valuable, with a fragment being capable of powering a hundred dump trucks, Boldore is targeted for it. It searches for underground water in the caves where it lives; however, because it is uncomfortable around water, it is always very careful about lapping it up. A healthy Boldore will always have its core sticking out. Due to relying on sound to know what is nearby, it always faces the same way, never moving in a diagonal direction; even when brought to anger, it will attack while facing in its initial direction.
