Pokedex Entries

A slow walker, it rolls to move. It pays no attention to any object that happens to be in its path.

Graveler's Rock/Electric typing leaves it vulnerable to Ground, Water, Grass, and Fighting. Ground hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It resists 5 types, giving it decent defensive coverage. Graveler's physical bulk (base 115 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

Custapberry and Sturdy form the backbone. Graveler invests max HP and Attack EVs to play its hazard lead role properly, and Adamant nature pushes Attack higher. Earthquake handles the heavy lifting on offense. Normal coverage rounds it out.

Without TMs, Graveler's movepool is bare bones. With them, you get Normal and Fighting coverage and more on top of Thunder and Stone Edge for STAB. The natural kit handles basics, but TMs are doing the real work.

Graveler isn't available in the wild in Scarlet & Violet. Start by transferring Geodude from Red, Yellow, or Gold. The evolution path from Geodude to Graveler is covered in the steps below.

How to Obtain Graveler in Scarlet & Violet

  1. Geodude
    Step 1Obtain Geodude

    Also found in:

    RedYellowGold
  2. Graveler
    Step 2Graveler ✓

  • Graveler isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Golem to unlock its full potential. At 390 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.

  • Watch for Rhydon (Ground), Starmie (Water), and Venusaur (Grass) when using Graveler. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Rhydon is the most dangerous since Ground moves deal 4x damage. Fighting-type attackers are also a problem. At base 35 Speed, Graveler won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • Geodude evolves into Graveler at level 25. Graveler evolves into Golem by trading. Graveler is a middle-stage evolution in the Geodude line.

  • Magnet Pull prevents steel opponents from fleeing or switching out. That's the one you want on Graveler. Galvanize is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Sturdy works too if your team needs something different.

  • Graveler fills the trick room role. It's a physical attacker with base 95 Attack. Base 35 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

Graveler first appeared in Red & Blue and spans 20 games across 10 generations. It later gained an Alolan form in Generation 7, adding new dimensions to its competitive identity.
