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, but we recommend taking in 2-3 Trainers in order to break it down comfortably.

Best Golem Raid Counters in Pokémon GO

Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.

Due to it’s crippling weakness to grass and water type attackers, beating Golem should be easily accessible to any Trainers that have past Community Day Pokémon with Hydro Cannon or Frenzy Plant. 

Golem has access to rock and ground type moves:

Be sure to be careful selecting your counters based on what moves the Golem has! Keep in mind that Grass types resist the Ground moves better than our Water type counters, and our Flying counters, Gyarados and Shaymin Sky Forme, do NOT appreciate those Rock type moves!
