Golem live up on mountains. If there is a large earthquake, these Pokémon will come rolling down off the mountains en masse to the foothills below.
Pokémon Sapphire
Golem is known for rolling down from mountains. To prevent them from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves have been dug into the sides of mountains to serve as guideways for diverting this Pokémon's course.
Pokémon Emerald
It is said to live in volcanic craters on mountain peaks. Once a year, it sheds its hide and grows larger. The shed hide crumbles and returns to the soil.
Pokémon FireRed
It is enclosed in a hard shell that is as rugged as slabs of rock. It sheds skin once a year to grow larger.

Name origin

Golem's name probably is a reference to the golems of medieval and Hebrew legend. Additionally, ゴロゴローン gorogoroon is the sound of rolling.

It shares some physical traits with turtles, but it mostly seems to be simply a living rock, which is more or less what a golem is.
