: Even dynamite can’t harm its hard, boulder-like body. It sheds its hide just once a year.

: It tumbles down mountains, leaving grooves from peak to base. Stay clear of these grooves.
: Even dynamite can’t harm its hard, boulder-like body. It sheds its hide just once a year.
: Golem live up on mountains. If there is a large earthquake, these Pokémon will come rolling down off the mountains en masse to the foothills below.
: Golem is known for rolling down from mountains. To prevent them from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves have been dug into the sides of mountains to serve as guideways for diverting this Pokémon’s course.

: Its body can survive dynamite blasts without a single scratch, but it hates rain and humidity.
: Once a year, this Pokémon molts, and its shed shell returns to the soil. This process creates enriched soil, so farmers collect the shells.
: When Golem grow old, they stop shedding their shells. Those that have lived a long, long time have shells green with moss.
: It detonates its own body. The power from that explosion can propel it up steep mountain paths with amazing speed.
