"Stone Edge is generally superior to Earthquake, even in scenarios where Earthquake has super effective damage"

I can't believe this crap is still on Golem's page. Earthquake does more weave DPS than Stone Edge, even when both are neutral.
Yes it's Golem I'm talking about, not Rhydon, but it's just like saying MS/SE Golem is better against Jolteons than MS/EQ.

The comment about super-effective Earthquake is probably from before the super-effective change. Earthquake probably wins out now if it has a type advantage. But if you are looking for a ground attacker, Rhydon is still a stronger choice.

Not sure where the rest of your ire is coming from. As a neutral attacker, Rock Throw/Stone Edge is Golem's best moveset. But Golem is not a very god neutral attacker anyway.

Oh dear. If I want a ground/rock type with ground moves, I will go for Rhydon. So this text might be outdated, but it does not matter.

Many pages are still outdated; if you notice on golem's page it won't have the green bar of text saying "Updated for new gym update" whereas dragonite/Tyranitar/etc. have this bar

Also @ Gamepress: Fix the damage multipliers for ground type attacks against bug/flying hybrids, please! Like gengar's, jumpluff's, and steelix's pages, the multiplier for NVE*immunity should be .36x, not .51x
