Graveler (Japanese: ゴローン Golone) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves from Geodude starting at level 25, and evolves into Golem when traded.

Biology

Physiology

It appears that Graveler is a living boulder. Its skin becomes tougher when it evolves. It also has four arms, but mainly uses the longer two to lift things, using the shorter two as a defense against attackers.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

They often roll down mountain paths at high speeds, crushing objects in the way. Despite growing legs, it can revert to a form similar in nature to Geodude, granting it the ability to float and lose two of its arms. If it breaks or shatters, it has the ability to restore itself overtime.

Behavior

Graveler are notable for their habit of tumbling down mountains, heedless of any obstacles as they simply roll over them. Their preferred locomotion is rolling specifically because it is a slow walker. With a free and uncaring nature, it does not mind if pieces of its body break off as it rolls. If Graveler gains too much speed, it stops by running into huge rocks. Graveler climbs a mountain from base to summit, crunchingly feasting on rocks all the while. Upon reaching the peak, Graveler rolls down to the bottom.

Habitat

Graveler can be often found on mountain trails or in caves. They are very common, appearing in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food
