It evolves from Geodude starting at level 25 and evolves into Golem when traded or when exposed to a Linking Cord.
In Alola, Graveler has a dual-type Rock/Electric regional form. It evolves from Alolan Geodude starting at level 25 and evolves into Alolan Golem when traded. These Graveler can also be found in Blueberry Academy's Terarium.
(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)
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 exceeding 60 mph, crushing objects in the way and stopping by running into huge rocks should it build up too much speed. However, it will explode if it rolls into a river instead. Graveler is known to be generally free and uncaring, not minding if pieces of itself break off, as it can restore itself over time. Graveler climbs a mountain from base to summit, feasting on rocks all the while. Graveler's favorite rock to eat is moss-covered rocks. It regularly consumes tons of moss-covered rocks and makes loud noises while eating. Upon reaching the peak, it rolls down to the bottom. Graveler live in horizontal holes that they gouge out in sheer cliff faces, and they are capable of withstanding volcanic temperatures. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Graveler is known to rock back and forth while sleeping.[1] It is believed that Graveler is dreaming about rolling down hilly paths.
Forms
Graveler has a regional form: Alolan Graveler.
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 has a very quick-tempered personality. Alolan Graveler feeds on dravite, which creates the yellow crystals on its body and grants 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; for this reason, people refer to it as "the fireworks of the earth". Similar to its Kantonian counterpart, Alolan Graveler rolls down mountain paths; however, instead of flattening obstacles as it rolls, it sends them flying by zapping them with electricity. They can also be found in the Canyon Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.
Alolan Graveler and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon that can have Galvanize as an Ability.
Evolution
Graveler evolves from Geodude and evolves into Golem.
Alolan Graveler has a dual-type Rock/Electric regional form. It evolves from Alolan Geodude and evolves into Alolan Golem.

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 sprite shows an incorrect number of limbs; only four are visible. This was corrected in Pokémon Yellow.
- Mato's rendition of the Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures 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 the fact that Golem is available.
- Graveler is very similar to Boldore. Both are Rock-type Pokémon introduced in an odd-numbered generation with a base stat total of 390, have Sturdy as one of their Abilities, evolve at level 25, and can evolve again by trading.
- Graveler's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line in which all members have a regional form.
- Alolan Graveler and its evolutionary relatives were designed by Hitoshi Ariga.[2]
- Burmy, Wormadam, Mothim, Geodude, Graveler and Golem are the only Pokémon in all five Hisui Pokédex sublistings.
- In Generation IX, Kantonian Graveler cannot learn Gyro Ball via TM, while its evolutionary relatives can.
Origin
Graveler appears to be based on a living boulder, and thus it may be based on a earth elemental creature like golem. Its four arms may be based on Hindu gods such as Shiva or Vishnu. 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 Graveler does.
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. This iron ore takes shape of Graveler's eyebrows. The golden gems may be also inspired by piezoelectric materials or by amber and its electrostatic characteristics. This could possibly be an allusion to ἤλεκτρον ēlektron (Ancient Greek for amber).
Name origin
Graveler may be a combination of gravel and traveler.
Golone may be a combination of ゴロンゴロン goron-goron (onomatopoeia of rolling rocks) and stone.
