'''Golem''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴローニャ''' ''Golonya'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Graveler}} when [[trade]]d. It is {{p|Geodude|Geodude's}} final form.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Graveler}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]]. It is the final form of {{p|Geodude}}.


==Biology==
In [[Alola]], Golem has a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Electric}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from {{rf|Alolan}} Graveler when traded. It is the final form of Alolan Geodude. These Golem can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].  
===Physiology===
Golem's brownish-colored body resembles a boulder because it is covered by a layer of plated rocks. Golem has a head protruding out of the center of the shell, with short arms that have three claws and four-clawed legs. 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.


====Gender differences====
(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for more details.)
None.


====Special abilities====
==Biology==
Golem is a bipedal tortoise-like {{wp|boulder}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical body covered by a shell of plated, green rocks. Its body is so hard that even dynamite cannot scratch it. Its head protrudes from the center of the shell. The head has a flat snout with two pointed teeth in the lower jaw and red eyes. It has short arms that have three claws and two legs with feet that have four claws in front and one in back. The head and limbs are light brown.


Golem are able to withdraw their heads and arms into their shell and {{m|Rollout|roll at high speeds}}, usually causing {{m|magnitude|small}} {{m|earthquake}}s 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 {{M|Explosion}}.  
Golem grows bigger by shedding its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens when exposed to air, crumbling away and returning to the soil. Farmers are known to collect Golem's shells. Golem's soil is spread across fields to promote crop growth. However, it stops shedding with age and moss grows over its shell. As shown in the [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]], Golem's shell is hollow.


As a fully evolved Pokémon, Golem is capable of using {{m|Giga Impact}} and generating {{m|Hyper Beam}}s.
As shown in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Golem can withdraw its head and limbs into its shell and roll at high speeds. It is dangerous when doing this, as it is unable to see and may crash into or run over anything in its path. To prevent it from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves are dug into the sides of the mountains to divert the rolling Golem's course. It is seldom seen in the wild. However, it can be found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous}} regions. Golem are known to detonate their own body. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Golem is known to occasionally sleep upside down.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It is believed that Golem rocks itself into a deep slumber, similar to a cradle. However, there's a chance a sleeping Golem may roll into anyone nearby it. Hence, its best to stay clear of Golem while it sleeps.


===Behavior===

Golem uses the explosive force from blowing itself up to jump from mountain to mountain. Golem is 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 grows bigger by shedding its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens when exposed to air, crumbling away and returning to the soil.
===Forms===
Golem has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Golem.


===Habitat===
In the [[Alola]] region, Golem has shorter forearms with two claws. The feet have only two claws as well. Its face attracts iron sand, creating the appearance of a mustache, eyebrows, and a large black beard. Jutting out of the top of its body are two large, black rocks with a smaller rock in between, forming the shape of a cannon. On the inner edge of the larger rocks are three golden dots.
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]


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]].
The cannon prevents them from easily rolling into a ball like its Kantonian variant. Alolan Golem has a grumpy and stubborn personality. Should anyone make Alolan Golem upset, it will roar with a voice similar to thunder, discharging electricity from its body at the same time. Alolan Golem is capable of firing the small rock by using magnetism. The rock will be electrically charged, creating shocks across the whole area of impact. Numbness and fainting can occur with even a glancing blow. If rocks are not available, it will fire nearby {{p|Geodude}} instead. They can also be found in the [[Canyon Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.


===Diet===
Alolan Golem and its pre-evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Galvanize}} as an [[Ability]].

====Major appearances====
Golem debuted in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', under the ownership of [[Chopper]]. It was used in a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} and defeated {{AP|Bulbasaur}} before being covered in flames thanks to a combination of {{AP|Charmander}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}. As a result, it had to be returned to its {{i|Poké Ball}}, which wound up being so hot that it burned Chopper's fingers. Golem reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''.
 
In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', {{an|Giovanni}} used a Golem in his [[Viridian Gym]] battle against {{Gary}}. It was easily defeated by {{p|Nidoking}}.

==Trivia==
*[[Ash's Pikachu]] in the anime has defeated several Golem using {{type2|Electric}} attacks despite Golem being a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon that would normally be [[Anime physics|immune to those types of attacks]].
* In {{3v|Red|Blue|Yellow}} in [[Generation I]], Golem is the only Pokémon that cannot ever be seen without trading.
*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 {{p|Graveler}}. {{p|Venusaur}} (if the player started with {{p|Charmander}}) and either {{p|Kabutops}} or {{p|Omastar}} would also be missing, but only Golem was definite.
** A hint to its existence can be found in the English versions of these games, where a [[non-player character]] at the [[Celadon Department Store]] receives his friend's {{p|Graveler}} via trade and mentions it evolving. In the Japanese version, the NPC speaks of his new {{p|Haunter}} evolving into a {{p|Gengar}} instead.
*It's cry sounds similar to that of {{p|Koffing}}'s.
** Either {{p|Electabuzz}} or {{p|Magmar}} (depending on version being played), {{p|Kabutops}} or {{p|Omastar}} (depending on which fossil the player chose) and {{p|Venusaur}} (if the player started with {{p|Charmander}} in Red and Blue or locked themselves out of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in Yellow) can be other Pokémon that cannot ever be seen, but only Golem is definitely missable.
** The remakes FireRed and LeafGreen have a [[Ruin Maniac]] at [[Ruin Valley]] with a Golem, making it no longer impossible to see without trading.
* Golem's evolutionary line shares similarities with {{p|Gigalith}}'s evolutionary line.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Golem is based on a boulder and shares some traits with various reptiles. Its "shell" may represent {{wp|tectonic plates}}.  
Golem, as the name suggests, is based on a {{wp|golem}}, an earth type {{wp|elemental}} creature, more specifically on representations in modern {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which usually are {{wp|ogre}}-like creatures whose bodies are covered in, or made of, stones. It could also have been inspired by the tsuchikorobi, a Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} known as the 'tumbling monster', for its habit of rolling over travelers and crushing them, as Golem does.
 
It might also be based on {{wp|tortoise}}s, which are believed to hold the world on their backs in many myths, including the {{wp|Hindu mythology|Hindu}}, {{wp|Chinese mythology|Chinese}}, and {{wp|Mythologies of the indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American mythologies}}. Its "shell" may represent the {{wp|Plate tectonics|tectonic plates}} of Earth. It also resembles {{wp|Concretion#Septarian_concretions|septarian nodules}}, also known as "turtle stones."
 
Alolan Golem, like its predecessors, seems to have structures made of {{wp|Piezoelectricity#Materials|piezoelectric crystals}} or {{wp|magnetite}}, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. The black structure on its back may be derived from an {{wp|electroshock weapon}} or a {{wp|railgun}}. This iron ore takes shape of a Golem's {{wp|beard}} and {{wp|eyebrows}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Golem's name probably is a reference to the {{wp|golem}}s of medieval and {{wp|Jewish mythology|Hebrew}} legend. Additionally, ゴロゴローン ''gorogorōn'' is the sound of rolling.
Golem is literally ''golem''.
 
Golonya may be a combination of ゴロンゴロン ''goron-goron'' (onomatopoeia of rolling rocks) and ''montagna'' (Italian for ''mountain'').

In Alola, Golem has a dual-type Rock/Electric regional form. It evolves from Alolan Graveler when traded. It is the final form of Alolan Geodude. These Golem can also be found in Blueberry Academy's Terarium.

(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

Golem is a bipedal tortoise-like boulder Pokémon with a spherical body covered by a shell of plated, green rocks. Its body is so hard that even dynamite cannot scratch it. Its head protrudes from the center of the shell. The head has a flat snout with two pointed teeth in the lower jaw and red eyes. It has short arms that have three claws and two legs with feet that have four claws in front and one in back. The head and limbs are light brown.

Golem grows bigger by shedding its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens when exposed to air, crumbling away and returning to the soil. Farmers are known to collect Golem's shells. Golem's soil is spread across fields to promote crop growth. However, it stops shedding with age and moss grows over its shell. As shown in the Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards, Golem's shell is hollow.

As shown in The Bridge Bike Gang, Golem can withdraw its head and limbs into its shell and roll at high speeds. It is dangerous when doing this, as it is unable to see and may crash into or run over anything in its path. To prevent it from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves are dug into the sides of the mountains to divert the rolling Golem's course. It is seldom seen in the wild. However, it can be found living in mountainous regions. Golem are known to detonate their own body. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Golem is known to occasionally sleep upside down.[1] It is believed that Golem rocks itself into a deep slumber, similar to a cradle. However, there's a chance a sleeping Golem may roll into anyone nearby it. Hence, its best to stay clear of Golem while it sleeps.

Forms

Golem has a regional form: Alolan Golem.

In the Alola region, Golem has shorter forearms with two claws. The feet have only two claws as well. Its face attracts iron sand, creating the appearance of a mustache, eyebrows, and a large black beard. Jutting out of the top of its body are two large, black rocks with a smaller rock in between, forming the shape of a cannon. On the inner edge of the larger rocks are three golden dots.

The cannon prevents them from easily rolling into a ball like its Kantonian variant. Alolan Golem has a grumpy and stubborn personality. Should anyone make Alolan Golem upset, it will roar with a voice similar to thunder, discharging electricity from its body at the same time. Alolan Golem is capable of firing the small rock by using magnetism. The rock will be electrically charged, creating shocks across the whole area of impact. Numbness and fainting can occur with even a glancing blow. If rocks are not available, it will fire nearby Geodude instead. They can also be found in the Canyon Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Golem and its pre-evolved forms are the only known Pokémon that can have Galvanize as an Ability.

Trivia

Design variations

In its original Pokémon Red and Green and Pokémon Red and Blue artwork, Golem had four claws instead of three.

Origin

Golem, as the name suggests, is based on a golem, an earth type elemental creature, more specifically on representations in modern role-playing games, which usually are ogre-like creatures whose bodies are covered in, or made of, stones. It could also have been inspired by the tsuchikorobi, a Japanese yōkai known as the 'tumbling monster', for its habit of rolling over travelers and crushing them, as Golem does.

It might also be based on tortoises, which are believed to hold the world on their backs in many myths, including the Hindu, Chinese, and Native American mythologies. Its "shell" may represent the tectonic plates of Earth. It also resembles septarian nodules, also known as "turtle stones."

Alolan Golem, like its predecessors, seems to have structures made of piezoelectric crystals or magnetite, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. The black structure on its back may be derived from an electroshock weapon or a railgun. This iron ore takes shape of a Golem's beard and eyebrows.

Name origin

Golem is literally golem.

Golonya may be a combination of ゴロンゴロン goron-goron (onomatopoeia of rolling rocks) and montagna (Italian for mountain).
