Collector’s Notes
This Graveler is an Uncommon card from the Japanese set Pokémon Card 151 (sv2a), a modern release focused on reimagining the original 151 Pokémon. The artwork by Uta has a fantastic, gritty texture, portraying Graveler in a golden-hued cavern. The art style gives the Pokémon a real sense of weight and power, as if it’s carved from ancient stone.
As the mid-evolution of one of the original rock-themed lines, Graveler is a quintessential Geological Pokémon. Its design is that of a living boulder, and its habits, as described in its Pokédex entry, involve the powerful geological process of erosion and impact. Like its fellow Rock and Ground-types, it is represented in the TCG by the consolidated Fighting type. This card perfectly represents the raw and untamed nature of its mountainous habitat.
