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
Graveler is a living, bipedal boulder. It has a rocky crest about its small eyes. It has four arms, each with a three-fingered hand. It was shown in Pokémon Snap that, despite having legs, it can revert to a legless form. This grants it the ability to float.
Its preferred locomotion is rolling, specifically because it is a slow walker. It often rolls down mountain paths at high speeds, crushing objects in the way and stopping by running into huge rocks. If it breaks or shatters, it has the ability to restore itself overtime. Graveler climbs a mountain from base to summit, feasting on rocks all the while. Upon reaching the peak, Graveler rolls down to the bottom. Graveler can be often found on mountain trails or in caves.

Trivia
- Graveler's Crystal sprite is different from that of Gold and Silver, making it one of few Pokémon to have three distinctly different sprites in Generation II.
- Graveler's Red and Blue Versions sprite shows an incorrect number of limbs; only four are visible. This was corrected in Pokémon Yellow.
- Mato's rendition of the Pokémon also depicts Yellow's Graveler with four limbs, possibly for this reason. All other Graveler that have since appeared in Pokémon Adventures have shown the right amount.
- Graveler is the only Pokémon unavailable for use in the Pika Cup who can evolve, despite that Golem is available.
Origin
Graveler appears to be based on a boulder. Its four arms may be based on Hindu gods such as Shiva or Vishnu.
Name origin
Graveler is possibly derived from gravel. It could also be a corruption of groveler, someone who bows at the feet of a superior.
Golone may be a combination of golem and stone. Additionally, ゴロゴローン gorogorōn is the sound of rolling, a pastime of Graveler.
