What went wrong? Will its Alola form be any better?

Quoted By:

Normal-types became irrelevant.

It has shit resistances and common weaknesses.

It's slow in a speed-based meta.

Ground is no longer the best offensive typing in the game.

Poison is no longer the most common typing in the game.

The list goes on.

Rock used to be what steel is now.
The new form may be a little better if it's a steel type, but not by much. Give it an op ability and that may change though, we'll never know until they release a trailer about it.

There I fixed.

We still don't know what movepools the Alola forms will have and even the BSTs of all the new Pokemon aren't confirmed since all we have is the modified ones from the demo. Alolan Golem is either Rock/Electric or Ground/Electric, and we still don't know what its ability will be.

In other words, nobody knows.

It's gonna be Rock/Steel. They want to give rare types to Gen 1 Pokemon. Ghost, Dragon, Steel, Ice and Dark. I want Rock/Electric so it can be unique but there is no way.

I'm assuming it's Electric because of the railgun on its back and the fact that Alolan Dugtrio will either be Ground/Steel or Ground/Fire.

no, moron, to invalidate the explosion in the same way you'd switch a ghost in to block the boom

>Have a sturdy Golem
>Give it Weakness Policy
>Send it out against a Grass or Water-type Pokemon

Turn 1
>Foe Serperior used Leaf Storm
>It's super effective! The opposing Golem endured the hit!
>Golem lost 99% of its health!
>Golem's Weakness Policy activated!
>Golem's Attack rose sharply! Golem's Special Attack rose sharply!
>Golem used Sword Dance
>Golem's Attack rose sharply!

Turn 2
>Golem used Sucker Punch

This makes it usable, but it is still very flawed. You're basically fucked if your opponent has Sturdy, Unaware, Focus Stash or a Priority Move. Or a Ditto.

Dugtrio is an interesting case. I think Fire, even though, lava is basically just Ground but since every volcano-themed Pokemon has Ground/Fire typing, it makes sense. I could see Seel since the fiberglass thing but making another Ground/Steel mole wouldn't go well, even though they just made another useless Dark-type cat family.

Never thought about using Swords Dance. I ran Rock Polish instead, but +2 attack isn't always enough
