Trivia

  • Graveler is one of the three Pokémon having a total of four arms, the others being Machamp and Ledian. Its evolved form Golem does not share this trait.
  • In the games with color, Graveler's body color has changed each generation, with it being dark gray in Generation II, light brown in Generation III, and light gray in Generation IV.

Origin

Graveler doesn't share much in common with anything but boulders.

Name origin

Graveler's name is possibly derived from gravel. It could also be a corruption of groveler, someone who bows at the feet of a superior. Its Japanese name may be a combination of golem and stone. Additionally, ゴロゴローン gorogorōn is the sound of rolling, a pastime of Graveler.
