Evolving Alolan Graveler into Alolan Golem in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Are you one of the many Pokémon trainers trying to complete the Pokédex in Scarlet and Violet? You might have come across an NPC in the Terrarium who's eager to see an Alolan Golem. However, this particular Pokémon is a bit harder to come by. In this article, we'll show you how to evolve your Alolan Graveler into an Alolan Golem and where to find the NPC who'll reward you for having this elusive Pokémon.

How to Evolve Alolan Graveler into Alolan Golem

Unlike other Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet, you can only evolve your Alolan Graveler into an Alolan Golem via trading with another player. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Find someone willing to trade with you and agree to send Alolan Graveler to them.
2. Connect to the Poké Portal and use the Link Trade feature.
3. Set the same link code with your trade partner.
4. Make sure your console is in online mode to connect online with your trade partner.
5. Once your Alolan Graveler arrives on the other end of the trade, it will immediately evolve into Alolan Golem.
6. Your trade partner can then pass the Alolan Golem back to you, and you'll have another entry in the Pokédex.

A nice perk is that your friend's Pokédex will also receive the updated entry because they did, technically, have the Pokémon for a little while.

Where to Find the NPC Who Rewards You for Having Alolan Golem

After evolving Alolan Golem, you can hunt down an NPC in the Terrarium to get an extra reward for having this elusive Pokémon. Here's how to find them:

This NPC can be located in the Coastal Biome, on the beach near the border with the Savanna Biome. You'll recognize them by their Alola, friend! orange speech box.

Once you have an Alolan Golem in your party or box, you can show it off. In exchange, they'll reward you by teaching you the Electrium Z emote.

By following these steps, you can add Alolan Golem to your Pokédex and reward yourself with a unique emote. Happy Pokémon hunting!
