Ancient power buff
I have a 16xx Golem with ancient power I never bothered to power up due to water typing problems for defense. But ancient power went from 35 to 70 damage! Is it worth it now to power him up even with his problems vs water? I know AP used to come quickly and often and was sometimes very difficult to dodge. If Body slam is 50 damage and three charge move AP at 70 damage and 3 charge move has to be good.
Anyone battled an AP golem in a gym with a vap? What were your results. I always thought Golem was a cool mon.

I found myself in the same situation - I love Golem and was waiting for a good one to power up, since my only one has Rock Throw + Ancient Power. Now, this looks like it could even be his best moveset as a Rock attacker (or even defender). It depends on how much one-bar charge moves like Stone Edge are actually handicapped in the new meta, which I haven't quite understood yet.
