Golem (Pokémon)

Golem is a Rock/Ground-type Pokémon and the final evolution of Geodude. It evolves when a Graveler is traded to another Trainer, though it is unknown how it evolves in the wild.

Pokédex Data
Known as the Megaton Pokémon, Golem weighs 300 kg on average. It possesses reptilian features such as a flat snout, fangs and claws on its hands and feet. Its body is encased in a spherical shell of rocks that are as hard as diamond. The shell is hard enough to withstand dynamite blasts. Once a year, Golem will shed its shell and the discarded shell deteriorates into the ground.

Like its evolutionary predecessor Graveler, Golem travels by rolling across terrain. It withdraws its head and limbs into its shell and rolls at high speeds, though it cannot see in this state and thus cannot take action to avoid hitting obstacles. 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.

Alolan Variant
The Alolan Golem has shorter forearms with two claws and only two claws on its feet. The face has attracted more iron sand, creating the appearance of a mustache, eyebrows and a large black beard. Above its head are two large black rocks jutting out of its body. On the inner edge of these rocks are three golden dots. In-between the two large rocks is a shorter black rock. The Alolan Golem is capable of firing this rock for attacking; if it is not available, it will fire nearby Geodude instead.

Abilities

 * Smack Down - Golem throws a rock at its opponent, inflicting moderate damage. Any flying Pokémon struck by this projectile will fall to the ground.
 * Bulldoze - Golem withdraws into its shell and rolls straight into its foe at high speed, flattening them. This move can be used to hit multiple foes at once in Triple Battles.
 * Earthquake - Golem strikes the ground with enough force to trigger a devastating tremor.
 * Strength - Golem's physical strength allows it to deal significant damage to enemies and can be used to shift heavy boulders across terrain.
 * Discharge - The Alolan Golem can release bursts of electricity to shock any opponents within range.
