Brock's Graveler · Gym Challenge, what to know.
About the Brock's Graveler card
Brock's Graveler is card 34 of 132 in Gym Challenge, released in October 2000, an Uncommon. It is a Stage 1 Fighting-type with 70 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Brock's Geodude, which places Brock's Graveler deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.
Brock is the Rock-type Gym Leader of Pewter City and Ash's longtime traveling companion. Brock's Graveler is part of that themed lineup.
Illustrated by Atsuko Nishida. Nishida is the original designer of Pikachu and many Gen 1 Pokémon, and her card work has a soft, rounded warmth that suits the friendlier creatures.
