It evolves from Graveler when traded, a unique evolutionary method that fascinated early Pokémon trainers. Golem is known for its incredibly hard, rock-like shell, which is said to be as tough as diamond and able to withstand dynamite blasts. Its body is composed of several large boulders, allowing it to curl into a ball and roll at high speeds, often using this method to travel down mountains. In the wild, Golem are typically found in mountainous regions and caves, preferring rocky terrains where they can easily blend in. Their diet consists primarily of rocks and minerals, which they grind with their powerful jaws. Despite their formidable appearance and immense strength, Golem are generally peaceful unless provoked, but once angered, they can cause significant geological damage. In the games, Golem is a strong physical attacker with high defense, making it a reliable choice for many trainers. Its dual typing gives it resistances to Normal, Flying, Poison, and Rock, but also a quadruple weakness to Water and Grass, and a regular weakness to Fighting, Ground, Ice, and Steel. Golem has appeared consistently across all Pokémon generations, featuring prominently in various anime episodes and manga series as a symbol of raw power and endurance.
