Graveler Pokémon GO is a Rock and Ground-type Pokémon with its own GO stats, move pool and evolution requirements. This guide covers whether Graveler can be Shiny, how its evolution works, its weaknesses, current move pool and the main details worth knowing before you spend Candy or Stardust.
If you are building your collection or preparing for a future event, the Graveler Pokémon GO information below keeps the permanent details in one place. Exact encounter availability changes through seasons and events, so current event guides should always be checked alongside this evergreen page.
Can Graveler Be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
Yes, Shiny Graveler is available in Pokémon GO. A Shiny encounter is never guaranteed, but Graveler Pokémon GO can be collected in its alternate colour when an eligible encounter method is available.
Shiny Graveler has been obtainable through wild encounters, Raid Battles, research encounters, evolution and photobomb encounters. Those methods can rotate in and out of the game, so their presence here does not mean every method is active at all times.
How to Evolve Graveler Pokémon GO
Geodude
Graveler
GolemGraveler evolves from Geodude using 25 Candy. Graveler evolves into Golem with 100 Candy. Evolution requirements in Pokémon GO can be different from the main-series games, so the Candy, item, Buddy or time requirements above are the ones that matter in GO.
Graveler Pokémon GO Weaknesses
Graveler is weak against Fighting, Grass, Ground, Ice, Steel and Water attacks in Pokémon GO. These are the attacking types to prioritise when you need super-effective damage against Graveler.
Graveler resists Electric, Fire, Flying, Normal, Poison and Rock attacks. Pokémon GO uses its own battle multipliers, so the amount of damage differs from the main-series games even when the general type matchup is familiar.
Graveler Pokémon GO Stats
Pokémon GO base stats are not currently available for Graveler.
Graveler Pokémon GO Moves
Graveler can currently draw from the move pool below. The strongest choice depends on whether you are building for raids, Gyms, Team GO Rocket or PvP, so this evergreen guide lists the available moves rather than pretending one moveset is automatically best for every format.
| Move type | Available moves |
|---|---|
| Fast Moves | Rock Throw, Mud Slap, Mud Shot |
| Charged Moves | Dig, Stone Edge, Rock Blast |
| Elite Charged Moves | Rock Slide |
Elite moves are not normally available from a standard TM. When an Elite Fast TM or Elite Charged TM is required, it is worth checking the exact battle format and current meta before using such a limited item.
How to Get Graveler in Pokémon GO
Graveler is released in Pokémon GO, but its exact encounter methods can change as seasons, events, raids, eggs and research rotate. For that reason, the safest way to hunt Graveler Pokémon GO is to check the current Pokémon GO guides on The Click alongside this evergreen page rather than relying on an old spawn list.
When Graveler is set as your Buddy Pokémon, it requires 1 km of walking per Buddy Candy. Buddy walking can therefore provide another steady Candy source when Graveler is not appearing frequently.
Is Graveler Worth Catching in Pokémon GO?
Yes, there are good reasons to keep catching Graveler Pokémon GO when it is available. Candy can be used toward its evolution line and its Shiny form gives collectors another target. Whether you should invest Stardust in a particular Graveler depends on its IVs and the battle format you actually plan to use.
