Golem grows bigger by shedding its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens when exposed to air, crumbling away and returning to the soil. Farmers are known to collect Golem's shells. Golem's soil is spread across fields to promote crop growth. However, it stops shedding with age and moss grows over its shell. As shown in the [[Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards]], Golem's shell is hollow.

As shown in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' that Golem can withdraw its head and limbs into its shell and roll at high speeds. It is dangerous when doing this, as it is unable to see and may crash into or run over anything in its path. To prevent it from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves are dug into the sides of the mountains to divert the rolling Golem's course. It is seldom seen in the wild. However, it can be found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous}} regions. Golem are known to detonate their own body. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Golem is known to occasionally sleep upside down.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref> It is believed that Golem rocks itself into a deep slumber, similar to a cradle. However, there's a chance a sleeping Golem may roll into anyone nearby it. Hence, its best to stay clear of Golem while it sleeps.

Golem (Japanese: ゴローニャ Golonya) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Graveler when traded or when exposed to a Linking Cord. It is the final form of Geodude.

In Alola, Golem has a dual-type Rock/Electric regional form. It evolves from Alolan Graveler when traded. It is the final form of Alolan Geodude. These Golem can also be found in Blueberry Academy's Terarium.

(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

Golem is a bipedal tortoise-like boulder Pokémon with a spherical body covered by a shell of plated, green rocks. Its body is so hard that even dynamite cannot scratch it. Its head protrudes from the center of the shell. The head has a flat snout with two pointed teeth in the lower jaw and red eyes. It has short arms that have three claws and two legs with feet that have four claws in front and one in back. The head and limbs are light brown.

Golem grows bigger by shedding its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens when exposed to air, crumbling away and returning to the soil. Farmers are known to collect Golem's shells. Golem's soil is spread across fields to promote crop growth. However, it stops shedding with age and moss grows over its shell. As shown in the Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards, Golem's shell is hollow.

As shown in The Bridge Bike Gang, Golem can withdraw its head and limbs into its shell and roll at high speeds. It is dangerous when doing this, as it is unable to see and may crash into or run over anything in its path. To prevent it from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves are dug into the sides of the mountains to divert the rolling Golem's course. It is seldom seen in the wild. However, it can be found living in mountainous regions. Golem are known to detonate their own body. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, Golem is known to occasionally sleep upside down.[1] It is believed that Golem rocks itself into a deep slumber, similar to a cradle. However, there's a chance a sleeping Golem may roll into anyone nearby it. Hence, its best to stay clear of Golem while it sleeps.

Forms

Golem has a regional form: Alolan Golem.

In the Alola region, Golem has shorter forearms with two claws. The feet have only two claws as well. Its face attracts iron sand, creating the appearance of a mustache, eyebrows, and a large black beard. Jutting out of the top of its body are two large, black rocks with a smaller rock in between, forming the shape of a cannon. On the inner edge of the larger rocks are three golden dots.

The cannon prevents them from easily rolling into a ball like its Kantonian variant. Alolan Golem has a grumpy and stubborn personality. Should anyone make Alolan Golem upset, it will roar with a voice similar to thunder, discharging electricity from its body at the same time. Alolan Golem is capable of firing the small rock by using magnetism. The rock will be electrically charged, creating shocks across the whole area of impact. Numbness and fainting can occur with even a glancing blow. If rocks are not available, it will fire nearby Geodude instead. They can also be found in the Canyon Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Golem and its pre-evolved forms are the only known Pokémon that can have Galvanize as an Ability.

Origin

Golem, as the name suggests, is based on a golem, an earth type elemental creature, more specifically on representations in modern role-playing games, which usually are ogre-like creatures whose bodies are covered in, or made of, stones. 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 Golem does.

It might also be based on tortoises, which are believed to hold the world on their backs in many myths, including the Hindu, Chinese, and Native American mythologies. Its "shell" may represent the tectonic plates of Earth. It also resembles septarian nodules, also known as "turtle stones."

Alolan Golem, like its predecessors, seems to have structures made of piezoelectric crystals or magnetite, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. The black structure on its back may be derived from an electroshock weapon or a railgun. This iron ore takes shape of a Golem's beard and eyebrows.

Name origin

Golem is literally golem.

Golonya may be a combination of ゴロンゴロン goron-goron (onomatopoeia of rolling rocks) and montagna (Italian for mountain).
