Strategy Overview
As a Rock-type with access to Roar, Golem is capable of fulfilling the important role of a Normal-resistant phazer for its team while also offering an excellent utility in Rapid Spin and an offensive presence with Explosion. While other Normal-type answers such as Steelix, Rhydon, and Forretress offer some of these traits, Golem is alone in its ability to do all three at once, giving it a unique niche and making it a solid friend you can count on.
