⚔ How to beat Golem

  • Water and Grass hits for ×2.56 — Golem's Rock/Ground typing is double-weak, so those attackers outperform their score gap.
  • Watch its Rock/Ground moves — counters like Shaymin (Sky) and Groudon (Primal) take super-effective damage from them.
  • Rainy weather boosts Water moves ×1.2 — the best time to battle Golem.

Rankings are estimated cycle DPS (attack stat × move damage ÷ cycle time, with STAB and type effectiveness). Not a full battle simulation.
