[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Golem (Japanese: ゴローニャ Golonya) is a dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon.
It evolves from Graveler when traded. It is the final form of Geodude.
Biology
Physiology
Golem's brownish-colored body resembles a boulder because it is covered by a layer of plated rocks. Golem has a head protruding out of the center of the shell, with short arms that have three claws and four-clawed legs. Unlike its previous forms, it has red eyes and its face appears much less 'rocky' and craggy in appearance, instead being somewhat turtle-like with two visible teeth in the lower jaw.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Golem are able to withdraw their heads and arms into their shell and roll at high speeds, usually causing small earthquakes when doing so. Golem are dangerous when doing this, as they are unable to see and may crash into or run over anything in their path. Golem’s body is so hard that even dynamite cannot scratch it. Golem is also capable of using Explosion.
Behavior
Golem uses the explosive force from blowing itself up to jump from mountain to mountain. Golem is known for rolling and tumbling down mountains, leaving grooves from peak to base. To prevent them from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves are dug into the sides of the mountains to divert the rolling Golem’s course. Golem will also roll down the mountains in copious numbers if there is a large earthquake. 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.
Habitat
Golem are seldom seen in the wild. However, they can be found living in mountainous regions, just like its pre-evolutions. Golem also live in volcanic craters on mountain peaks.

Trivia
- Ash's Pikachu in the anime has defeated several Golem using Template:Type2 attacks despite Golem being a Template:Type2 Pokémon that would normally be immune to those types of attacks.
- In Generation I, Golem was the only Pokémon the player couldn't even see without trading. However, its existence was implied by a non-player character who had just received his friend's Graveler. Venusaur (if the player started with Charmander) and either Kabutops or Omastar would also be missing, but only Golem was definite.
- Its cry sounds similar to that of Koffing's.
Origin
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.
Name origin
Golem's name probably is a reference to the golems of medieval and Hebrew legend. Additionally, ゴロゴローン gorogorōn is the sound of rolling.
In other languages
- German: Geowaz - From geo and Watz, an informal expression for a massive piece of stone.
- French: Grolem - A corruption of gros (big), and Golem.
- Korean: 딱구리 Ttakguri
- Chinese (Taiwan and mainland China): 隆隆岩 Lóng Lóng Yán
- Chinese (Hong Kong): 滾動岩 Gǔn Dòng Yán - Literally "rolling rock" with a different character for 'rock' than Graveler's Chinese name.
