Trivia

• Graveler has two pairs of arms, which was for some reason not visible in its Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue sprites. Also, its second pair of arms are always seen on its chest and don't seem to be used and are a little smaller than the first pair.

Origin

Graveler doesn't share much in common with anything but stones.

Name origin

Graveler's name is possibly derived from gravel. It could also be a corruption of groveler, someone who bows at the feet of a superior. Its Japanese name may be a combination of golem and stone. Additionally, ゴロゴローン gorogoroon is the sound of rolling, a pastime of Graveler.
