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:

Best Golem Raid Counters in Pokémon GO

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.
