Golem Raid Boss

Golem

Golem is a Tier 3 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO, with a Raid Boss CP of 31291. Golem is a Rock Ground type, with double weakness to Water and Grass.

Golem can be captured from raids with the following CP values:

  • 1608 – 1685 CP at Level 20, with no weather boost
  • 2010 – 2106 CP at Level 25, boosted by Partly Cloudy or Sunny weather

Golem is possible to be soloed by a prepared high level trainer, but those without ideal counters may want a team of 2-3 Trainers in order to break it down comfortably.

Best Golem Raid Counters in Pokémon GO Raid icon

While Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up, we have included the top Shadow Pokémon you can use against Golem. Ensure you no longer have Frustration on these Pokémon before considering adding them to your team. If you have any of these as an option, while they may take more damage than non-shadow Pokémon, they will also deal more.
