Golett is a bipedal Pokémon said to have been constructed from clay in the ancient past to protect a civilization of people and Pokémon. Its body is primarily covered by two different shades of blue. Its head features two bewitching, yellow eyes and a stub-like cyan-colored crest on top. Two pairs of crisscrossing brown bands extend around its spherical body meeting at a blue square with a yellow swirl in the center. Two large stone-like blocks act as its feet and two more such blocks adorn its "forearms"; each arm ends in a dark blue-colored, crude three-fingered hand.
Golett is believed to burn energy inside its core in order to move; this energy also emanates light through the holes near Golett's arms and legs. However, this energy has yet to be identified by researchers. Allegedly "active for thousands of years", Golett's animating energy is speculated to run out soon. For unclear reasons, Golett have been reported to continually line up near boulders.
Golett debuted in Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!, under the ownership of Luke. It helped its Trainer film his movies by building props, as well as being a stagehand and carrying equipment. Luke used his Golett in a battle against Iris in the semifinals of the Battle Club Tournament against Axew. Golett reappeared in An Epic Defense Force!, where it once again helped with Luke's movie, though it now starred in the movie instead of helping with carrying equipment. It was often seen outside of its Poké Ball.
Golett may draw inspiration from golems or perhaps the Haniwa, funerary objects made from terracotta clay that are specific to the Japanese anthropological record.
Name origin
Golett is a combination of golem and lett (suffix meaning small or young).
Gobit may be a combination of golem and robot or bit (small in size). It may also come from 小人 kobito (small person).
