Stats & Training
Graveler's all-in on Defense at the expense of Speed. The physical lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 0 HP EVs and follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
Graveler grows by feeding on rocks. Apparently, it prefers to eat rocks that are covered in moss. This Pokemon eats its way through a ton of rocks on a daily basis.
Graveler Weakness
Graveler's Rock/Ground typing leaves it vulnerable to Water, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Ground, and Steel. Water and Grass hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Electric-type attacks completely. 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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Water, Grass |
| 2x (Weak) | Ice, Fighting, Ground, Steel |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Normal, Fire, Flying, Rock |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Poison |
| 0x (Immune) | Electric |

Graveler Guide
In FireRed & LeafGreen, 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.
In FireRed & LeafGreen, watch for Starmie (Water), Exeggutor (Grass), and Cloyster (Ice) when using Graveler. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Starmie is the most dangerous since Water moves deal 4x damage. Fighting, Ground, and Steel-type attackers are also a problem. With 6 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. At base 35 Speed, Graveler won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Rock Head protects against recoil damage. That's the one you want on Graveler. Sand Veil is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Sturdy works too if your team needs something different.
In FireRed & LeafGreen, 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.
Game Availability
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.
