There is no way to avoid the reality of Pokémon Go. I know that I haven’t. I am fully invested. The folks at SB Nation have assigned Pokémon to the 129 major college football programs, and the Virginia Tech Hokies have not been left out.
Graveler is the Pokémon that has been likened to the Hokies.
"Virginia Tech:Tough defense, solid ground game, blue collar program. Graveler, a Pokemon that attacks by being a rock rolling down a hill. It's also a Pokemon that could appreciate Metallica."
Graveler is the second evolution of Geodude, and Graveler is the interim form prior to the final form, which is Golem.
