Golem.
# 076.
Type: Rock / Ground.
Ability: Rock head / Sturdy.
Locations: Evolve Graveler.
Hi everyone. Welcome to another Pokémon of the
Week. Today we’re reviewing Golem, the rock Pokémon.
Golem was great once, however today we all have
water, fighting, ground or grass types in our team so this one
is almost a dead body from the beginning. It is slow and has not
so good defenses so you are two options with this one; brute
force or don’t even bother…
Talking about brute force, rock head is great if
you are going to use double edge. But it’s not the greatest
advantage ever.
Let’s move on to the move combinations I’ll start
for combinations for the GBA and then combinations for the new
DP games…
GBA.
Golem.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
Equip: Choice band.
EV´s: 252 Attack, 129 Defense, 129 HP.
- Focus punch
- Rock slide
- Earthquake
- Explosion
As you might know, choice band is a very
important item for the hit and go strategy. Remember, hit and
switch if you are facing a type disadvantage. Focus punch is
there just for surprising switching foes. Explosion has always
been a very good finishing move.
Substitute is always a good option. To give Golem
some time, keep the set but change earthquake or explosion for
substitute.
DP.
First of all, remember the physical / special
attack consideration has changed for DP, so some of our reviews
have to change as well to fit the new criteria.
Golem.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
Equip: Choice band.
EV´s: 252 Attack, 129 Defense, 129 HP.
- Focus punch
- Stone edge
- Earthquake
- Explosion
Stone edge gives Golem a little more power, but I
think that’s not enough.
When should I use this Pokémon?
I thin you shouldn’t. Even Rampardos is better
then this one. Let’s not talk about Rhyperior
What should I use against this Pokémon?
Almost anything will kill this guy; Gyarados is
your best choice because of the earthquake immunity. Lucario is
very popular and effective against Golem.
Bottom line:
Sorry, this guy is not your guy. It is decent for
in game uses, but in competitive play this one has no chance.
Remember, If you have DP versions and want my
number please Send me an e-mail with yours to
reeve.ryu@gmail.com I’ll be trading some pretty good
Pokémon; legendaries, starters and stuff like that. Thanks and
see you on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Rating:
2/5
Hope you enjoyed.
Reeve.
