Ferrothorn (Japanese: ナットレイ Nutrey) is a dual-type Grass/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves from Ferroseed starting at level 40.
Biology
Ferrothorn is a Pokémon resembling a flattened durian. Its metallic body is covered in thorns, with three black stripes circling its width, the middle stripe having triangular decorations below the eyes of Ferrothorn. Its eyes have green rims, yellow sclerae, and dark pupils. There is a green spike at the top of its body, and extending around it are vine-like, long green appendages tipped with spiky metal disks.
The spikes of Ferrothorn are said to be harder than steel. It can use these feelers to either cling onto the ceilings of a cave or walk around. Ferrothorn also uses the feelers to absorb nutrients from the rocks it scrapes. When hanging, it can attack its prey underneath by shooting spikes.
In the anime
Major appearances
Ferrothorn debuted in Iris and the Rogue Dragonite!, under the ownership of the Officer Jenny at Undella Town. It was used in an attempt to capture a Dragonite that was causing problems in the town.
In The Road to Humilau!, Cameron used a Ferrothorn during his Gym battle against Marlon. It defeated his Jellicent before losing to Mantine. Ferrothorn made further appearances during the Vertress Conference.
In Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!", Rose sent out a Ferrothorn to battle Ash's Pikachu and Riolu alongside his Copperajah. In Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!, it was defeated.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon have the same Egg Group combination as Ferrothorn and its pre-evolved form.
- Ferrothorn is tied with Kartana for the highest base Defense stat of all Grass-type Pokémon.
- Coincidentally, both are also part Steel-type Pokémon.
- Ferrothorn is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 489.
Origin
Ferrothorn appears to be based on durian plants. Its vines resemble military flails. The vines also resemble a fully-grown brier plant, just as its pre-evolved form resembles a seed. It could also be based on the tribulus, which is a species of thorny plants whose name, during Roman times, also meant caltrops, which is a thorny metallic weapon used to puncture the feet of invading soldiers. Also, the "tri-" in tribulus means "three", which is also the same number of pods Ferrothorn has.
Name origin
Ferrothorn is a combination of "ferrous" (meaning contains iron) and thorn (a protective spine found on many plants).
Nutrey may be a combination of nut and rey (Spanish for king), 鈴 rei (bell), or trey (Italian for three anglicized, referring to its three appendages).
