Golem Raid Trio
https://youtu.be/A6NcFYTuQgs
We have made it again! This time we 3-man a Golem raid. we thought we have to fight until the very last second due to the high defense of Golem, but it seems that it was not the case, thanks to our adequate preparation, and the moveset of the Golem boss, which is Rock Throw/Earthquake, it should be the easiest move to deal with. Here's our team:

Maybe, just maybe, if Gyarados is having a water type fast move, and Kingler is finally getting a better water type move in the next move shakeup, duoing a Golem might be possible, not to mention Sharpedo with 243 attack, if it has good water type moves, it will be a good choice too.

Not sure why you expected Golem to be so hard.
Like Tyrantir its a double weakness pokemon meaning it's defense is way overrated.
And while it does have slightly more Def than Tyrantir it has way more double SE counters than Tyrantir. As such it's way easier to build a Team to beat.
I'd also say its defense edge isn't enough to match Tyrantirs larger attack edge as well.
It's a great accomplishment to boot. Just overestimated it at start.
It’s great that you are 3 guys interested in short manning each raids. Enjoy the remaining ones :).
In theory I have teams to be part of 2 or 3 man raids for each one (except Tyra where I expect to level up 4 machamps when I will be at the raid). But the interest for these type of tries is a lot lower than my interest. So I hope in about 2-3 weeks to do victrebell and then maybe 1 month for the other 4 tiers (if still around).
