Golem
A sturdy Stage 2 Fighting Pokemon with high health and a defensive attack.
What this card does
Golem has 160 HP, making it one of the tougher Pokemon to knock out.
It evolves from Graveler in your deck.
It uses its Guard Press attack to reduce damage taken by 30 during the opponent's next turn.
Guard Press
During your opponent's next turn, this Pokémon takes −30 damage from attacks. (120 damage)
The Guard Press attack costs three Fighting Energy and one Colorless Energy to deal 120 damage. Crucially, it also protects Golem from taking extra damage for a full round, which helps keep this high-HP Pokemon on the field longer.
Attacks
During your opponent's next turn, this Pokémon takes −30 damage from attacks.
Which deck it belongs in
This card suits decks that focus on Fighting Energy or can easily provide multiple types of energy. It works well in strategies that want to survive heavy hits and trade blows with other powerful Pokemon.
- •High durability
- •Damage reduction
- •Stage 2 power
- •Grass weakness
- •High energy cost
Use the damage reduction effect when you know the opponent is preparing a powerful attack that deals more than 30 damage.
Golem lives in mountains and can roll down slopes at incredible speeds to crush obstacles.
The attack requires three Fighting Energy cards, so ensure your child has enough basic Grass or Fighting Pokemon to generate that energy quickly.
