No. 526: Gigalith

it's like my wildest dreams of what I want in a Rock-type came together all at once, on my birthday, at Christmas.


First off, you know it's gotta be badass, because it's got Giga in its name. And Giga is 1000 times a Kilo. You know how many pictures you can fit in a Giga? a shit-ton, that's how many.

Secondly, more red-ruby-rock stones. Man, you don't know how much I like seeing colored gem-style stones jutting out of regular rocks, I love it a whole lot.

Thirdly, those sunken eyes. General Grievous-level hatred spewing out of them, plus they look like R____r____'s body, so that's neat continuity.

Finally, four badass legs for stomping fools into the ground. And that triangular body, with a scowling head on top - it's pretty much one of the best things.

Maybe the best part is that you get to trade your Boldore to evolve it. And I do say "get to", not "have to", because it's a goddamn privilege to have that sucker evolve on your friend's DS, because then you can forcibly show them the majesty and earth-shaking fury that is Gigalith. Though there is the possibility they won't want to trade it back, and you'll have to kick them in the chest.


Overall: 10/10

  1. Those eyes are actually its ears. Also, those rubies would be the closest thing to eyes.

  2. No those are obviously his eyes:

    1. There are crystals in the ear holes so they serve as a hybrid of a set of vocal chords, an ear, and an eye. It doesn't have a mouth because those crystals allow photosynthesis

    2. Since when does a rock use photosynthesis??? And sound travels faster through solids, so the crystals would do just fine for sound.
      I'd say the yellow ones are his eyes, the two large crystals on the sides of his head could be his ears, and he doesn't even need a mouth because he's THAT FUCKING AWESOME!

    3. Why does it learn solarbeam then?

    4. Maybe because Crystals can refract, reflect, and refocus light. I mean, you've seen crystal pyramids make rainbows, right? Same thing, but now it's a LAZER!!!

    5. So it makes sense that it can absorb light, therefore, photosynthesis

    6. It makes sense that it can absorb light FOR photosynthesis, but just absorbing light does not give the reasoning that he can, or NEEDS, photosynthesis.
      We humans also absorb light. You know, Vitamin D, Sunburns, that type of shit, but we don't freaking use photosynthesis.
      Photosynthesis is a process used to combine not only sunlight, but Carbon Dioxide AND Water in order to create energy. Sure, the guy has crystals that light can pass through, but I don't see an opening for either Water OR CO2. Don't think he's going to be using photosynthesis anytime soon.

    7. He can use a quasi-form of photosynthesis from the crystals in which he just intakes light. It isn't real photosynthesis, just a process like it.

    8. True, that is possible. However, it would be a form of photo-absorption:

      NOT photosynthesis.

  4. Actually you're wrong. A giga is a MILLION times a kilo.
