During earthquakes and landslides, rolling Graveler are among the most dangerous hazards for people living on mountains. Dislodged from their position, the rock pokemon will roll downhill at dangerously high speeds, picking up smaller rocks and items on the way – larger ones will even absorb people, smashing them over and over in an uncontrolled, fatal roll until they hit an obstacle or break free. Indeed, Graveler's unusual texture is the result of these downhill rolls, as smaller rocks become part of them each time while weakening its round shape.
It was witnessing one of these tragic events as a child which led an obscure game developer to create the smash hit Graveler Damashii, in which one plays as a Graveler and attempts to roll up as many items as possible, so that the Deoxys King can turn them into stars.
This is not the only appearance of the pokemon Graveler in video games, although perhaps it is the most popular one. The attempts of people to escape from rolling Graveler has led to a common level in platform games where a large Graveler rolls downhill and the player must dodge obstacles while keeping their speed up to escape.
