Graveler (Japanese: ゴローン Golone) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Geodude starting at level 25 and evolves into Golem when traded.
In Alola, Graveler has a regional variant that is Rock/Electric. It evolves from Alolan Geodude starting at level 25 and evolves into Alolan Golem when traded.
Biology
Graveler is a bipedal, boulder Pokémon. Its round body is covered with small bumps and it has a rocky crest above its small eyes and mouth. It has four arms, each with a three-fingered hand. Its second pair of arms is typically kept tucked against its chest. It was shown in Pokémon Snap that, despite having legs, it can revert to a legless form. This grants it the ability to float.
Graveler's 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. However, it will explode if it rolls into a river instead. 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, it rolls down to the bottom. Graveler can be often found on mountain trails.
In the Alola region, Graveler looks similar to its regular counterpart, but with a silvery sheen. It lacks defined digits on its upper limbs and has two toes on each foot rather than three. There are several small, yellowish crystals scattered across its body and iron sand attracted by magnetism. This black sand creates crystal-like formations above its eyes, across the tops of the upper pair of arms, and on the sides of its face. Alolan Graveler feeds on dravite, which creates the yellow crystals on its body and grant it electrical abilities. It often fights with others over food, and when two smash together it creates a flash of light and a booming sound.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Alolan Graveler and its Alolan evolutionary relatives.
- Alolan Graveler, along with its Alolan evolutionary relatives, were designed by Hitoshi Ariga.
- 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.
Alolan Graveler seems to have dark structures made of piezoelectric crystals or magnetite, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. The golden gems may be also inspired by piezoelectric materials, or by amber and its electrostatic characteristics.
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.
