Golem in Pokemon Survivor

Golem at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Golem has 106 HP, 97 speed and a 1.36x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is above average, its speed is below average and its attack is well above average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 60.2, which puts it at rank 311 overall, rank 39 of 151 among Kanto Pokemon and rank 21 of 66 Rock-types and 22 of 70 Ground-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Golem sits next to Scream Tail one place above it and Druddigon one place below it.

Golem moves

Pokemon that are not starters begin with the signature move of their first type, so Golem starts every run with Rock Throw: a heavy boulder that pushes the enemy back.

The level-up cards can then offer 14 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 6 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Rock moves: Rock Throw, Rock Slide
• Ground moves: Mud Shot, Bulldoze, Bonemerang, Spikes

Weaknesses and resistances

Golem takes extra damage from Water (2.4x), Grass (2.4x), Ice (1.6x), Fighting (1.6x), Ground (1.6x), and Steel (1.6x). It resists Electric (0.3x), Poison (0.36x), Normal (0.6x), Fire (0.6x), Flying (0.6x), and Rock (0.6x). The remaining 6 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Golem are the ones whose first type is Water, Grass, Ice, Fighting, Ground, or Steel, which hit for up to 2.4x. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Rock or Ground moves do not hit harder just because Golem shares the type.

How to get Golem

Golem is part of the Kanto banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (6.5% for Epic) and then picks one of the 31 Epic Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Golem a 0.21% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 477 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 120 coins, or 360 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Shiny Golem exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Golem as an enemy

Golem can show up as a regular enemy from 4:20 into the run (enemy tier 4 and 5). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is bomber: it rushes you, lights a short fuse when it is next to you and explodes.

It is also strong enough to be picked as a boss: it can fill the minute 3 slot. Boss fights are laid out in the bosses guide. Its attack set would be a ground slam, a straight charge, falling danger zones, and a ring of shots.
