Graveler
Say it: GRAV-uh-ler
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Graveler is the Rock Pokémon — Rock and Ground middle stage between Geodude and Golem (Alolan Graveler is Rock/Electric). In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Golem — not a finished raid attacker. Rock/Ground hits Fire and Electric well; Water and Grass hit it for 4×. Evolve Geodude, then trade-evolve to Golem. Rock Wrecker from Geodude Community Day belongs on Golem.
Say it: GRAV-uh-ler
Graveler (#075) is a Rock / Ground Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle evolution of Geodude. Trainers almost never power Graveler for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Golem (and Rock Wrecker). Against Graveler, lead with Water or Grass. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
