Golem | Pokémon guide

We’re here to teach you about the Pokémon Golem, covering its weaknesses, moveset, locations, and more.

Pokemon Golem: a big, round creature with its hands held up

There's a lot to learn about the Pokémon Golem, as it has two variations, one from Kanto and the other from Alola. Lucky for you, we're among the most knowledgeable trainers out there, and we're more than happy to share our knowledge with other would-be Pokémon masters, so let's get into Golem's locations, who evolves into it, where you can find one, what its moves are, and more.

However, before we go any further, we have to point you in the direction of our complete Pokédex. Golem is just one of more than 1,000 creatures, after all, and you need to know why they all are to truly become an expert. As a reward for learning so much information, you can treat yourself to some freebies through our Pokémon Champions mystery gift codes and Pokémon Go codes guides.

Golem evolves from Graveler when you trade it, and Geodude turns into Graveler at level 25. However, as trading doesn't exist in Legends: Arceus, you can evolve Graveler into Golem merely by presenting it with a linking cord.
