'''Golem''' is a large rock-type Pokémon from the first generation games that is the third and final stage in [[Geodude]]'s evolutionary line.

=Information=

Golem evolves from [[Graveler]] when traded from another trainer. It has a giant, boulder-like body that is extremely hard, enough to withstand dynamite blasts without taking damage. It grows larger when it sheds its skin once a year, leaving its body tender and whitish. The discarded skin hardens and crumples away upon being exposed to air. They are even capable of blowing themselves up, and Golem often use this explosive force to propel themselves from mountain to mountain.

They primarily live in mountains and the volcanic craters atop mountains. During earthquakes, Golem have been known to come rolling down the mountains in large numbers. To protect nearby villages, people have built grooves to divert the path of rolling Golem. Golem itself leave grooves in the paths they usually take, which is taken as a cautionary sign by people.

=Appearances=

Golem can only be obtained through evolution in all color versions.

A nonplayable Golem also appears in the game as the leader of Team Rumblerock.

=Other Appearances=

==Other Media==

*Golem has appeared in several episodes of the Pokémon anime, often being relegated to minor roles, although they have been shown to be used by trainers such as [[Giovanni]], [[Blue|Gary]] and Flint.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Golem is featured as one of Giovanni's Pokémon during his battle with Red at the end of the ''Red''/''Green''/''Blue'' arc. In the ''Yellow'' arc, Yellow's Graveler that he received from [[Brock]] evolved into a Golem only at the arc's end.

=Trivia=

*Its name refers to an artificial creature from Hebrew legends, although it is not similar to that definition of "golem" except for the fact that it is composed of earthly materials. The fifth generation later introduces [[Golett]] and [[Golurk]], Pokémon that are unrelated to Golem but are based more directly on the golem concept.
