Alolan Graveler

Description

Alolan Graveler #36 from the 2019 Pokémon Team Up expansion brings a distinct regional variant to the Lightning type. As a Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Alolan Geodude, this card offers 100 Hit Points, providing a sturdy presence in the front row. The reverse holo finish adds visual flair to the card's design, making it a visually striking addition to any Pokémon TCG collection. Designed by Misa Tsutsui, the card captures the essence of the Alola region's unique Pokémon species. Unlike its standard counterpart, the Alolan form adapts to volcanic environments, a detail reflected in its distinct typing and attack profile. The card features two primary attacks: Rollout, dealing 30 damage for a single Colorless energy cost, and Electroslug, which strikes for 100 damage using one Lightning and three Colorless energies. This attack profile allows for versatile strategic positioning, whether used for early-game pressure or as a late-game finisher. The uncommon rarity ensures it remains accessible while still holding significance for completionists aiming to fill their Team Up binder. For investors and hobbyists alike, cards like Alolan Graveler represent a tangible piece of the Pokémon TCG's rich history, bridging the gap between competitive play and nostalgic collecting. Owning this card connects you to the broader narrative of Pokémon evolution and regional adaptation.
