How do you change Golem to not be a shitmon? Other than the 4x weaknesses
>>
Change yourself and nothing is a shitmon. Stop being bad.
>>
>>56455676
do nothing. Its GENWUN so Game Freak will give it some special snowflake treatment eventually
>>
>>56455678
woah...
stfu
>>
>>56455680
They did though
>>
Golem is still a premiere physical tank that can deal solid damage with STAB Rock and Ground moves
Always a good pick to get through the campaign as easily as possible

Still one of a select group of mons that naturally learns Earthquake, and can toss out some curveballs here and there like Fire Blast thanks to Gen1 moveset weirdness for Kaiju-like mons
Get one with Sturdy, toss on a Weakness Policy, and Rock Polish to a KO or two

lmao

>>56455676
The problem in the first place is that rock and ground are two separate types.
>>
>>56455709
Meh, for the one or two trainers that actually have more than one or two mons, you might want to save time switching
>>
>>56455719
Because your autism can't separate them?
>>
>>56455736
There just isn't enough that separates the concepts from each other. It would be kind of like having a grass and wood type. Or a flying and air type. Just no point, and led to a bunch of gen 1 shitmons that were never able to be rescued from their doomed typing. Every single rock type in that gen was also ground for a reason. They should have been the same thing.
>>
>>56455746
>Every single rock type in that gen was also ground for a reason
Why is this board full of people that don't even play the games?
>>
>>56455765
well, he is kinda right
every rock type that wasnt a special snowflake rock/water (kabutops/omastar) or flying (aero) they had a 2nd ground type
>>
>>56455694
I wanted a mega so bad but instead we got this bullshit

>>56455784
He's not right at all. He literally says that they're all part ground when only 50% of the lines are. He's not even close to being right.
>>
>>56455805
all the memorable notable rock types have ground
give him a break
>>
>>56455818
I wish zoomers would learn how to troll. Just being wrong on purpose is lame.
>>
>>56455802
considering how obsessed with the Geodude line Game Freak is, its weird it got a regional instead of a Mega.
>>
They really wanted to give Grass types something to do other than sleeping things in Gen 1... Every Gen 1 Rock type other than Aerodactyl has a 4x Grass weakness
>>
>>56455824
>DUDE how could you say all rock types had ground when there's a total of like 6 full evos and 3 of them are forgettable
try not being autistic maybe?

Easy peasy. Rock/Ground is near flawless STAB coverage so it'll have the luxury of a customizable 4th moveslot

I didn't even know Golem got Sand Veil.
>>

if you think that post was "no u" then you are stupider than the zoomers you are supposedly criticizing
>>
>>56455857
Its the hidden ability, but Sturdy as been more useful since Gen 5 made it a free Focus Sash.

I forgot about the fossils, which honestly didn't need to be rock type at all, further showing the problem with the typing.
>>
>>56455694
Improved.
>>
>>56455910
Fossils are only rock type so the type wouldn't be limited with mineral creatures(simlar to grass having fungi despite not being plants)
>>
>>56455676
Something similar to Darmanitan with an ability that gives it a different form, Boulder form increasing its speed, losing this form if it loses more than half of its HP.
>>
>>56455843
Based, and true.
Rock/Ground, Ground/Flying, Fighting/Ghost, Ice/Electric. Goated combos.

Hi Verlis
>>
>>56455676
if you buffed the shit out of its spatk, its fire blast alone would give it so much more coverage
>>
>>56455824
zoomzooms for some reason think that if they get replies calling them retarded that means they are successfully trolling
>>
>>56455676
Earth Eater
The grass and water weaknesses don't really matter, being weak to other mons' earthquakes is what fucks him

Give it some ability that let's it take reduced damage from contact moves.
On that note, Pokemon could use second "Abilities". I'm thinking something like:
>Remove Natures
>Add "Talents"
>Talents = small pool of ~20 broadly distributed Abilities
>Each Pokemon can learn ~4-5 Talents
>Unlike Abilities, Talents aren't hidden from opponent
It'd also be a great marketing opportunity.

Bro I know, imagine if it was as cool as the other rock Megas like Mega Aerodactyl, or Mega Tyranitar!
Here's what I think it would look like! :D It's based on an undersea mine cuz it explodes, but it has the extra special mega flare to it like the other mega rocks!
>>
>>56457895
Imagine seething over megas so hard that you go out of your way to make fake ones.
>>
>>56455709
If you can't use something with STAB earthquake to wreck everything in the main game, there is no hope for you.

+1.5X defence if speed is not lowered

That's really what it comes down to.
Golem has offensive movepool and typing, but a defensive stats and abilities.
Hard leaning into one by either giving it a better offensive ability or switching it's typing could make it great.

Sturdy + Custap lead is kinda janky but fun way to utilize Golem. Obviously lead game became kinda dead thanks to team previews but still...
