Golem Deck - Pros / Cons

Golem has High Durability
Energy Acceleration Using Brock
Difficult to Evolve to Stage 2

Golem has High Durability

The main card of the deck, Golem receives damage reduction from Attack, effectively having over 190 HP. The damage is quite high at 120, and can Knocked Out most Pokemon with one or two attacks.

Number of Attacks Required to Knocked Out Golem

Attack Damage	100 ~180	90	70~80	60
Number of Attacks	2 times	3 times	4 times	6 times

Considering Golem's Attack, it is difficult to defeat by an attack with less than 80 damage . It is difficult to deal damage unless a Pokemon can deal 100 damage or more, and it can be powerful against decks with low hitting points.

Energy Acceleration Using Brock

Golem can be Energy Acceleration with Brock It is now possible to use Geodude→Graveler→Golem and every Even if you evolve a turn, you can use Attack every turn, allowing you to attack at a good tempo.

Difficult to Evolve to Stage 2

Golem is a Stage 2 Pokemon, so there is a chance to get bad hands, and can't Evolve the Pokemon. The deck also lacks Drawing ability, so adding a second attacker such as Marshadow is recommended.

Golem Deck Strategy

Set Up A Wall And Evolve Into Golem
Chip Away HP With Other Pokemon
Take Down The Opponent's Ace With Golem

Set Up A Wall And Evolve Into Golem

In the early game, use Druddigon or Hitmonlee as walls to protect Geodude on the Bench while evolving it into Golem.

Start With Geodude If Going Second

If you're going second and have the full evolution line for Golem in your hand, it can be effective to start with Geodude in the Active Spot, using its Attack while evolving into Golem. This strategy is particularly strong if you have Brock in your hand, as it allows for continuous Attacks.

Chip Away HP With Other Pokemon

While preparing Golem, chip away at the opponent's Pokemon to bring their HP below 120, putting them in One-Hit KO range. Ideally, use Hitmonlee to damage Pokemon on the Bench as well. Depending on the situation, you can also use Marshadow to secure points outright.

Take Down The Opponent's Ace With Golem

Once Golem is ready, bring it to the Active Spot to score points. If Golem can take down the opponent's ace Pokemon, its Ability ensures that it is unlikely to be defeated by Basic Pokemon. Leverage the fact that this deck is focused on Single-Prize Pokemon to force the opponent's ace into play and eliminate it strategically.
