What to do with this Golem?

TMs? Power it up to 30? Power it up to 31.5 (for Moltres)? Nothing?

I currently have 2 Golems with RT/SE. One is 98% level 34.5 and one is 80% (15 attack) at level 31.5. I have one Ttar B/SE at level 31. I also have a handful of Rhydons with all move combinations. Geodudes are rare for me and I only have 35 candies.

Additional info: I'm still salty about a failed Moltres raid I did yesterday where 6 of us (4 sub-30) lost with a tiny sliver of health left on the bird. Someone was using an Exeggutor and a Lapras.

I can understand how you feel man..

Yesterday, I was 1 sec away from beating the Moltres (last bite would have killed it) but failed cos the whole group of raiders all died and didn't come back in.

Taking it to 30 would be nice for Moltres and Zapados if he got rick moves. On the bright side 1 of each TM guarantees you rock moves. On the downside we don't know when we will need a ton of Golems again after the next 10 days. If you are losing legendaries due to bad teammates you it might not be a bad choice but it's sad as hell that you would have to spend to earn them a mon they don't deserve in the least. Tough call man but that's all on you.

If I told you I'd sell you a Moltres for 20K dust, 20ish Golem candies and two TMs would you do it? Just wondering.

If they are failing against Moltres, Zapados is going to be a nightmare.

Yes, Zapdos is a real concern for me. I've only been able to attempt 2 moltres raids (none caught). My raids groups are all over the board. I live in a small town where at level 34 I'm easily a top 10 player. Sometimes we have 15+ in a raid. Sometimes we struggle to get 5. My work schedule basically gets me one shot at Moltres per day.

I think I'm talking myself into doing it!

I think the breakpoint on RT changes to 37.5 against zapdos too. Golem at 31.5 is only optimal until the weekend is up.
Edit
"31.5 (for moltres)" you already know this. Disregard my comment.

I wouldn't. I don't want to sound like an IV snob but you will find better. Losing a close one sucks but the odds that you will fail another raid that you could have won by swapping 1 poke is extremely low. I would start walking Geo candies though. By far the best buddy now that rare candies are a thing!

Thought of another option... Just fast tm him and don't power him up, should still be very good vs Moltres. (Not sure how many tms you have but I value charge tms second only to dust and don't really care about fast tms at all.

He's not worth TMs. He has some utility on normal raid bosses, as well as Entei and Raikou when they start appearing. Since he is already at L28.5, you might as well take him to L30 and call it good.

Just use him as a ground attacker. There are much better uses for TMs.

not worth the effort, just need to make sure everyone knows what they are doing before you go in.
When I raid and there are people <lvl 30 i ask 'do you know what to use?'

Incidentally did the lapras have water moves? if they were low level they might not have had a lot of choices (egg is super dumb though),
But it's funny when you see level 24 players with a fist full of legendary mons and tyrantars and no vapes.

leave your golem for second line against Raikou
