Ash's Boldore

Ash's Boldore is the eighth Pokemon caught by Ash in the Unova region.

History
Boldore appeared as a Roggenrola in ''Gotta Catch a Roggenrola! ''where it slammed onto Ash and group and destroyed some of Cilan's food. It then battled and defeated Ash's Tepig and Oshawott easily. It later met Ash again when they investigated the tunnel. It was revealed that its other buddies were kidnapped by Team Rocket to make a Flash Cannon weapon that could take over Unova. It was already stolen before Ash saved it from their grasp. After escaping, it, Ash, Pikachu, and the rest of the Roggenrola escaped and destroyed the machine, along with Pikachu's Electro Ball. Roggenrola challenged Ash to a rematch, but was eventually defeated by Tepig and then caught by Ash.

In Battle for the Underground!, Roggenrola was used to propel the train that Ash, Iris, and Cilan were on to escape from Team Rocket. With Tepig using Ember that changed into Flamethrower, and Axew using Dragon Rage, it used Flash Cannon to help.

In BW060, Roggenrola helped rescue the kami trio from Team Rocket. Repeatingly using Flash Cannon, it hit Dr.Zager's helicopter until Ash's Pikachu, Iris' Axew and Emolga, and Cilan's Pansage joined in to break the prisons that trapped the kami trio.

In BW061, Roggenrola was used during Ash's fifth Unova Gym battle against Clay, the Driftveil Gym Leader. It fought Excadrill until it evolved into a Boldore and won using Rock Smash and Rock Blast.

In BW064, it teamed up alongside Cilan's Crustle in a double battle with Bianca's Escavalier and Professor Juniper's Accelgor. It fought well with its powerful attacks, but fell in battle.
