Golem finally loses his Ice weakness and is no longer x4 weak to anything, but half his STAB is gone, too, as well as his resistance to Rock and Poison, and his immunity to Electric. Fortunately for him, Rock Slide and Rock Throw get major boosts, and Golem can now recover health with Defense Curl. Rock typing also increases in use due to the boosted Bugs, Birds, Ices, and Fires. Perhaps Golem's biggest boost is Explosion (Rock type), which is stabbed and hits everything, and is only resisted by Ground and Fighting! Golem rocks!
Golem gets a type change, new Rock moves and a recovery move. Defense Curl helps for anything that can't KO him quickly, but even his new Special won't hold up to Water and Grass like before. Golem can work as either a wall or as a Physical sweeper. Rock is arguably one of the best offensive types due to hitting four types hard and only resisted by two. Explosion is deadly. |

Golem loses his Ground typing and changes his role to a more defensive one with the boost in Defense, gain of a recovery move but also loss of STAB Earthquake. However Rock is one of the best offensive types in the game as it is only resisted by two types while hitting four super effectively. Explosion is now STAB and hits even harder than previously, and his Rock Slide is now hitting with 60% more power. Watch out for Water and Grass just as previously.
