Golem (Japanese: ゴローニャ Golonya) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Graveler when traded. It is the final form of Geodude.
Biology
Physiology
Golem's brownish-colored body resembles a boulder as a layer of plated rocks covers it. Golem has a head protruding out of the center of the shell, short arms that have three claws, and two legs with five-clawed feet that have four claws in front and one in back. Unlike its previous forms, it has red eyes and its face appears much less 'rocky' and craggy in appearance, instead being somewhat turtle-like with two visible teeth in the lower jaw. As shown in the Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards Golem's shell is hollow.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Golem are able to withdraw their head, arms, and legs into their shell and roll at high speeds, usually causing small earthquakes when doing so. Golem are dangerous when doing this, as they are unable to see and may crash into or run over anything in their path. Golem’s body is so hard that even dynamite cannot scratch it. Golem is also capable of using Explosion.
As a fully evolved Pokémon, Golem is capable of using Giga Impact and generating Hyper Beams.
Behavior
Golem use the explosive force from blowing itself up to jump from mountain to mountain. Golem are known for rolling and tumbling down mountains, leaving grooves from peak to base. To prevent them from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves are dug into the sides of the mountains to divert the rolling Golem’s course. Golem will also roll down the mountains in copious numbers if there is a large earthquake. Golem grow bigger by shedding their skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens when exposed to air, crumbling away and returning to the soil.
Habitat
Golem are seldom seen in the wild. However, they can be found living in mountainous regions, just like its pre-evolutions. Golem also live in volcanic craters on mountain peaks. They can be found in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.

Trivia
- In Generation I, Golem was the only Pokémon the player couldn't even see without trading. However, its existence was implied by a non-player character who had just received his friend's Graveler. Venusaur (if the player started with Charmander) and either Kabutops or Omastar would also be missing, but only Golem was definite.
- In the Japanese version of Pokémon Blue this isn't true as there is an in-game trade for a Graveler.
Origin
Golem is probably based on a turtle. Turtles are believed to have the world on its back in myths (Hindu mythology, Chinese mythology and Native American mythology). Its "shell" may represent the tectonic plates of Earth.
Name origin
Golem is a reference to the golems of medieval and Hebrew legend (the Generation III Regis and the Golurk line are based on the same mythology).
Golonya may be a combination of golem and stone. Additionally, ゴロゴローン gorogorōn is the sound of rolling, a habit of Golem.
