Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Teal Mask DLC features plenty of returning Pokemon, including Gen 1’s Geodude. Here’s how trainers can find it and evolve it into Golem in Kitakami.

Fans of Pokemon Red & Blue who played Generation 9’s Teal Mask DLC were no doubt pleased to see many Gen 1 Pokemon return in the land of Kitakami.

Iconic Pokemon like Snorlax, Vulpix, and Clefairy return in Scarlet & Violet’s first DLC expansion along with some other favorites like the Rock/Ground-type Geodude.

However, some newer fans may be wondering how Geodude and Graveler evolve in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet and if the method has changed. So, here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about getting Geodude and its final evolution Golem in Kitakami.

How to evolve Geodude and Graveler into Golem in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet

Evolving Geodude into Graveler is fairly simple, as trainers only need to raise it to level 25.

Unfortunately, evolving Graveler into Golem is a bit trickier as it is a trade evolution. This means that trainers need to coordinate with a friend or hope to receive a Graveler through random trading to get a Golem.
