Pokédex entries

Golem

Red Blue	Its boulder-like body is extremely hard. It can easily withstand dynamite blasts without damage.
Yellow	Once it sheds its skin, its body turns tender and whitish. Its hide hardens when it’s exposed to air.
Gold	It sheds its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens and crumbles away.
Silver	It is capable of blowing itself up. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain.
Crystal	Its rock-like body is so durable, even high-powered dynamite blasts fail to scratch its rugged hide.
Ruby	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.
Sapphire	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.
FireRed	It is enclosed in a hard shell that is as rugged as slabs of rock. It sheds skin once a year to grow larger.
LeafGreen	Its boulder-like body is extremely hard. It can easily withstand dynamite blasts without taking damage.
Emerald	It is said to live in volcanic craters on mountain peaks. Once a year, it sheds its hide and grows larger. The shed hide crumbles and returns to the soil.
Diamond	It sheds its hide once a year. Its boulderlike body is so tough, even dynamite can’t harm it.
Pearl	It tumbles down mountains, leaving grooves from peak to base. Stay clear of these grooves.
Platinum	Even dynamite can’t harm its hard, boulderlike body. It sheds its hide just once a year.
HeartGold	It sheds its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens and crumbles away.
SoulSilver	It is capable of blowing itself up. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain.

Black 2 White 2	Even dynamite can’t harm its hard, boulder-like body. It sheds its hide just once a year.
X	It tumbles down mountains, leaving grooves from peak to base. Stay clear of these grooves.

Omega Ruby	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.
Alpha Sapphire	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.
Sun	Its body can survive dynamite blasts without a single scratch, but it hates rain and humidity.
Moon	Once a year, this Pokémon molts, and its shed shell returns to the soil. This process creates enriched soil, so farmers collect the shells.
Ultra Sun	When Golem grow old, they stop shedding their shells. Those that have lived a long, long time have shells green with moss.
Ultra Moon	It detonates its own body. The power from that explosion can propel it up steep mountain paths with amazing speed.
Let's Go Pikachu Let's Go Eevee	Once it sheds its skin, its body turns tender and whitish. Its hide hardens when it’s exposed to air.

Alolan Golem

Sun	It fires rocks charged with electricity. Even if the rock isn’t fired that accurately, just grazing an opponent will cause numbness and fainting.
Moon	Because it can’t fire boulders at a rapid pace, it’s been known to seize nearby Geodude and fire them from its back.
Ultra Sun	It’s grumpy and stubborn. If you upset it, it discharges electricity from the surface of its body and growls with a voice like thunder.
Ultra Moon	It shoots large rocks that are charged with electricity. Tremendous electric shocks are flung out across the whole area of impact.
Let's Go Pikachu Let's Go Eevee	It uses magnetism to accelerate and fire off rocks tinged with electricity. Even if it doesn’t score a direct hit, the jolt of electricity will do the job.
