Read more ↓Golem is a Rock/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, evolving from Graveler and Geodude. Known for its incredibly tough, boulder-like body, Golem can retract its limbs and head into its shell, allowing it to roll at high speeds, often down mountainsides, to escape danger or navigate its rocky habitat. Its powerful shell is formed from hardened magma and minerals, making it resistant to many forms of attack. Golem typically inhabits mountainous regions and caves, preferring environments with plenty of rocks and volcanic activity. Its diet consists primarily of rocks, which it grinds down to extract nutrients. In the Pokémon anime, Brock, one of Ash's companions, notably owns a Golem, showcasing its strength and defensive capabilities in battles. Golem represents the culmination of the Geodude evolutionary line, a classic example of a sturdy, physically imposing Pokémon that relies on raw power and defense. Its design and abilities reflect its elemental typing, embodying the resilience and destructive potential of rock and ground.
