Alolan Golem
RockElectric
Best attacking moveset: Rollout and Wild Charge, worth 12.0 damage per second against a neutral target.
Best moveset
Alolan Golem can learn 9 combinations. Rollout with Wild Charge does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.
That set is legacy. Rollout is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Alolan Golem you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Rock Throw and Wild Charge, worth 11.9 damage per second.
Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.
