Gigalith (Japanese: ギガイアス, Hepburn: Gigaiasu) (GIH-gah-lith) is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Gigalith is a massive boulder-like Pokémon that resembles a golem and a stalagmite. Its entire body is made of deep bluish gray rock. It has bright red crystals protruding from all over its body; the crystals glow orange whenever Gigalith attacks. On its face, two sharp crystals protrude from the sides of its mouth like tusks. Its four limbs are bulky and powerfully-built. It has fierce-looking deep-set yellow and red eyes.

Behavior

Gigalith usually inhabit underground areas. It is able to absorb and contain solar rays within its energy core. The energy stored within Gigalith is released as a strong energy blast. The blast of energy is extremely powerful, which often results in deep gashes forming all over Gigalith's body.

Although it is able to use this ability to obliterate an entire mountain, Gigalith is unable to do so in rainy weather or during the night. The sun beams Gigalith releases from its mouth has enough power to launch a dump truck.

Because of its immense strength and sturdy body, Gigalith is popular among construction workers.

In the Galar Region, Gigalith is often seen inside mines and on construction sites working alongside with humans and Copperajah.

As seen in the anime, Gigalith is known to consume rocks as part of its natural diet in the wild. 

Evolution

Gigalith is the evolved form of Boldore by trade. Gigalith is the final evolution of Roggenrola.

Appearances

Anime

• Gigalith (BW054)

Trivia

• Gigalith was first seen along with Reuniclus and Gothitelle on Oha Suta on June 28, 2010. Later it was seen in battle against Blitzle, Darmanitan and Drilbur. On the Oha Suta episode of July 22, 2010, it was then revealed to be called Gigaiasu. It was later shown in detail at the Pokémon BW: Search for a Legend tour on August 7, 2010. It was also appeared on the September issue of Coro Coro on August 9, 2010. The Romanization of the name Gigaiasu was later revealed to be Gigalith.
• Gigalith is the only pure third stage Rock-type.
• Gigalith shares some similarities with Golem and Coalossal:
  • All three are part of a three-stage evolutionary line. However, both Gigalith and Golem evolve from their middle stage through trade while Coalossal evolve from its middle stage evolution through leveling up.
  • All three are Rock-type although Gigalith is single-typed while Golem and Coalossal are dual-typed (part Ground as a Kantonian Golem and part Electric as an Alolan Golem, while part Fire for Coalossal).
  • All three are in the Mineral Egg Group.
  • All three are based on living rock formations (Gigalith is based on geodes and crystals, Golem is based on a boulder with some reptilian traits, while Coalossal is based on coals while taking the appearance of a bipedal rock golem).

Origin

Gigalith is likely based on a boulder-like golem, mixed with traits of a mountain, stalagmite, and a geode.

Etymology

Gigalith may come from giga ("big," or when used as a prefix with SI units, "billion"), and lith (rock). It may also come from megalith, large stones used to construct monuments.

Gigaiasu likely comes from giga, Gaia (the Greek goddess of the Earth, life, and nature), and アース (āsu, "earth" transcribed from English to Japanese).
