Physical Sweeper Golem (Rock Head)
Dominating single battles, Golem is a sensational Physical Sweeper. It is designed to crush rivals using devastating physical moves. Previously before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. Choice Band will increase the damage of Golem's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. The Shell Bell item option is to help Golem recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Rock Head, Golem does not take recoil damage besides struggle and crash damage.
◆ Earthquake is a physical STAB-boosted 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon. Power doubles on dig). ◆ Dig is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/3 recoil). ◆ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ◆ Rock Slide is a physical STAB-boosted 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to make the foes flinch). ◆ Rock Throw is a physical STAB-boosted 50-base power Rock-type move that deals damage. ◆ Brick Break is a physical 75-base power Fighting-type move (destroys screens, even if the target is immune). ◆ Seismic Toss is a physical 0-base power Fighting-type move (does damage equal to your Golem's level).
