Biology

Golem is a bipedal tortoise-likeboulderPokémon with a spherical body covered by a shell of plated, green rocks. Its body isso hard that even dynamite cannot scratch it. Its head protrudes from the center of the shell. The head has a flat snout with two pointed teeth in the lower jaw and red eyes. It has short arms that have three claws and two legs with feet that have four claws in front and one in back. The head and limbs are light brown.

Golem grows bigger by shedding its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens when exposed to air, crumbling away and returning to the soil. Farmers are known to collect Golem's shells. Golem's soil is spread across fields to promote crop growth. However, it stops shedding with age and moss grows over its shell. As shown in theBandai Pokémon Carddass Cards, Golem's shell is hollow, despite it looking like it is not.

As shown inThe Bridge Bike Gang, Golem can withdraw its head and limbs into its shell and roll at high speeds. It is dangerous when doing this, as it is unable to see and may crash into or run over anything in its path. 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. It is seldom seen in the wild, but may rarely be sighted inmountainous regions. Golem are known to detonate their own body. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain. As mentioned inPokémon Sleep, Golem is known to occasionally sleep upside down.^[1] It is believed that Golem rocks itself into a deep slumber, similar to a cradle. However, there's a chance a sleeping Golem may roll into anyone nearby it, hence why it is best to stay clear of Golem while it sleeps.

Forms

Golem has aregional form:Alolan Golem.

In theAlola region, Golem has shorter forearms with two claws. The feet have only two claws as well. Its face attracts iron sand, creating the appearance of a mustache, eyebrows, and a large black beard. Jutting out of the top of its body are two large, black rocks with a smaller rock in between, forming the shape of a cannon. On the inner edge of the larger rocks are three golden dots.

The cannon prevents them from easily rolling into a ball like its Kantonian variant. Alolan Golem has a grumpy and stubborn personality. Should anyone make Alolan Golem upset, it will roar with a voice similar to thunder, discharging electricity from its body at the same time. Alolan Golem is capable of firing the small rock by using magnetism. The rock will be electrically charged, creating shocks across the whole area of impact.^[2] Numbness and fainting can occur with even a glancing blow. If rocks are not available, it will fire nearbyGeodude instead. They can also be found in theCanyon Biome ofBlueberry Academy'sTerarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Golem and its pre-evolved forms are theonly known Pokémon that can haveGalvanize as anAbility.
