Description: Similar in appearance to a flattened durian, Ferrothorn's body is mostly covered by its metallic shell. Even its spikes, which were green as Ferroseed are covered in metal, save for one on top its head. Three green vines also protrude from the top of its head and end with mace-like spike covered orbs. Its spikes are as hard as steel, and can be fired at opponents. Like its previous stage, Ferrothorn adhere to cave walls from which they absorb their nutrients. Although it is capable of levitation, Ferrothorn usually move about using their feelers as limbs, either as legs to walk on, or as arms, attaching to walls.
