Trivia

  • Graveler has two pairs of arms, which was for some reason not visible in its Pokémon Red and Green sprite; likewise, its legs are not visible in its Blue sprite. Also, its second pair of arms are a little smaller than the first pair and don't seem to be used as they are always seen on its chest.
  • Graveler's Generation I back sprites are the only ones showing two arms instead of one in subsequent generations.

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 gorogoroon is the sound of rolling, a pastime of Graveler.
