Attack and HP carry most of Golett's stat budget. Sp. Atk's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 1 Attack EV. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
They were sculpted from clay in ancient times. No one knows why, but some of them are driven to continually line up boulders.
This Pokémon was created from clay. It received orders from its master many thousands of years ago, and it still follows those orders to this day.
Type-wise, Golett takes extra damage from Water, Grass, Ice, Ghost, and Dark. Normal, Electric, and Fighting moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity.
