This Pokémon spent 84 chapters as Graveler.

Gravvy (Japanese: ゴロすけ Golosuke), known as Golosk in Chuang Yi's translation of the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, is a Golem that Yellow owns in Pokémon Adventures. Gravvy was given to Yellow as a gift from Brock, making him her third Pokémon overall. As of A Well-Journeyed Jumpluff, he is level 39 and his Characteristic is "a little quick tempered".

History

Red, Green & Blue arc

With Brock

As a Graveler

Gravvy first appeared in Onix Is On!, as a Graveler under Brock's ownership. He was shown watching the Pewter Gym matches with his Trainer.

Yellow arc

In As Gastly As Before, Graveler was used to save a Super Nerd named Miles from a frightening black fog that was later revealed to be a Gastly. Brock later gave him to Yellow so she could better protect herself.

With Yellow

In The Coming of Slowpoke (Eventually), Gravvy was used to help face against the Team Rocket Elite Trio. He later saved Yellow and Kitty from falling into the Vermilion Harbor. After that, Gravvy held the two large pieces left after Ratty had split the S.S. Anne apart with his fangs. One of the ship pieces was left hovering over the Elite Trio and Yellow used that to threaten the trio into surrendering.

In Eradicate Raticate!, Gravvy is sent to battle Lance, alongside the rest of his team. Gravvy attacked with a powerful Take Down, but Dragonite simply shruged it off and threw him away.

In the final battle against Lance in The Might of... Metapod?!, after Yellow lost the Pokédex, Gravvy evolved into a Golem to gain more power. He then assisted in defeating Lance's team, blocking a Slam attack from his Dragonair with Defense Curl.

FireRed & LeafGreen arc

Gravvy appeared alongside the rest of Yellow's team in Bested by Banette, ready to battle against Sird.

Emerald arc

Gravvy made his most recent appearance in The Final Battle VII, battling Guile Hideout's stolen Battle Tower Pokémon.

Personality and characteristics

Like most outsider Pokémon given to Trainers without badges, Gravvy refused to listen to Yellow, even attacking her. This also related to his evolution, as Yellow didn’t full believe Gravvy belonged to her, and thus prevented his evolution from happening. Over time, however, the two have developed a loving relationship and now Gravvy follows his Trainer's commands without hesitation. Yellow mainly uses him when she needs a lot of power.
