Golurk in Pokémon Black and White: locations, stats and moves
Find Golurk’s original Black and White encounter records, Generation V Ground/Ghost typing, base stats, abilities, evolution family and level-up moves.
Original Black and White; their sequels have different routes and encounter availability.
Generation V identity and base stats
Golurk is Unova #129 and National #623. Its original Black and White typing is Ground / Ghost. These figures describe the standard form in the original Nintendo DS games.
The illustration uses a standard Generation V sprite; colour, gender or seasonal forms can differ in the cartridge.

| Stat | Base value |
|---|---|
| HP | 89 |
| Attack | 124 |
| Defense | 80 |
| Sp. Atk | 55 |
| Sp. Def | 80 |
| Speed | 55 |
| Total | 483 |
Where to obtain it in Black and White
Check the version and method columns before travelling. An encounter listed as a gift or stationary interaction does not mean Golurk appears in ordinary grass. Level ranges combine matching slots within the same recorded condition.
The encounter dataset has no direct original Black/White location for this species. Check the evolution family and the linked collection guide rather than assuming it cannot be obtained.

Evolution family and original requirements
| From | Into | Original method |
|---|---|---|
| Golett | Golurk | Level 43 |
Friendship evolution uses the original Generation V threshold. Trades require a compatible second game and system; trading an Everstone holder prevents the evolution.
Abilities and breeding reference
| Ability | Slot / availability |
|---|---|
| Iron Fist | Regular ability |
| Klutz | Regular ability |
| No Guard | Hidden slot; historical availability must be checked |
A Hidden Ability in the data is not proof of an obtainable original-game specimen. Some Hidden Abilities were never released in Generation V; the starter Contrary/Reckless/Shell Armor slots and Litwick-line Shadow Tag cannot be treated as ordinary Black/White catches.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Gender ratio | Genderless |
| Egg group(s) | Mineral |
| Base hatch cycles | 25 |
| Experience growth | Medium Fast |
| Base capture rate | 90 / 255 (not a percentage chance) |
| EV yield when defeated | Attack +2 |
The No Eggs / Undiscovered group cannot produce Eggs. An Egg move must be inherited through an eligible parent in these original games; it is not automatically learned by every caught specimen.

Level 1 entries are starting or reminder moves, not a guarantee that a later caught specimen already knows all of them. Evolution timing can change which moves are learned before the evolved form takes over. The Move Reminder charges a Heart Scale.

Egg moves and related species
No original Black/White Egg moves are recorded for this standard species.
Use the exact Black or White method and condition before hunting Golurk. Event prerequisites and evolution-only species need a different collection plan from ordinary wild encounters.
