'''Golurk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルーグ''' ''Goloog'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Ghost}} Pokémon.

Golurk resembles a suit of armor possessed by a ghost. It is mainly teal in color. It has a small head compared to its body, and large bangles on all its limbs. There is also a crack across the chest of the armor which is patched diagonally in the opposite orientation which resembles a belt. It has a crystal-like formation on its shoulders. It has a Roman-armor-like "skirt" and flat feet beneath. Its eyes are pale yellow, as are spirals on its shoulders and hands.  

Golurk is a genderless species.

Despite its large size, Golurk is capable of {{m|fly}}ing. By inserting its hands in its arms and inserting its legs and feet in its body, it can take off like a rocket. An undefinable energy burns inside it, and if the seal on its chest is taken off, the energy will go out of control.

===Behavior===

Golurk was created to protect people and Pokémon. If the bandage-like seal on its chest is removed, its power will run wild and it will {{m|Fly}} uncontrollably without being able to land or stop itself.

===Habitat===

{{main|Pokémon food}}
