Experiences with Golem

I am looking for people's opinions on how Golem works for them. I have 2, One with RT/AP and one with RT/SE. Let me start by saying my Rhydon luck was poop, 2 MS/MH, and one RS/SE. However, since the boost on rock throw I love using them. I feel like they are great bridge gap mons that can effectively​kill Snorlax and Gyarados and even to some extent Dragonite. I use them exclusively as my Snorlax killer and if I see a gym sitting Snorlax, Gyarados, Snorlax I can effectively kill those with my 2 Golem. Golem also does a nice job finishing off a high CP Blissey since my only legit Blissey attacker is a 2441 Machamp with KC/Sub(Machop so rare in my area). I just wanted to know if others like using Golem as much as I do.

RT/SE Golem is awesome

It's a tank against Dragonite and melts Gyarados (but than comes HydroPump...)

Resiting Normal it's good against Blissey and Snorlax too

Rock Throw, though buffed, it gives a disappoint amount of energy, compared to Counter, which Golem can't learn. However, RT/SE (used by Golem) is by far one of the best movesets against Charizard.

I love my Golems.
I have a legacy MudShot/StoneEdge, and a couple of RT/SE.
They often get a run out...and they are just plain fun to use too.

I'll tell you when I get 45 more candy... I never had one.... dam it's so frustrating I can't still complete BASIC POKEMON like Charizard, Golem, Blastoise.. that's super stupid.... It's a lot of time and their respawn rate is just too low.. those mons are too strange to catch..

I use my RT/SE quite a bit too. I like him in the higher level gyms when squishy Jolteon isnt enough.

Powered a RT/SE one to 30 to use as a gym attacker, pretty damn useful against Dragonites, Gyarados, Snorlax, Blissey, and the rare fire mon. Just have to avoid certain moves from each

One of my favorite attackers. I got him before the rock throw buff.

He's a great versatile attacker, and I find him especially great against Snorlax - plus he looks really cool and he's fun to use. I maxed out my legacy one with RT+AP, and I don't regret it.

How does your Machamp with KC/Sub do vs snorlax and Blissey?

My Machamp does rather well. Beat a 2928 Blissey with pound hyperbeam with 15 seconds left. He usually faints before beating any Blissey with 27++ or more with either or both ZH/DG. Biggest Snorlax I took down with him was 3029. Needless to say dodging, especially charge moves is a must. I feel like KC/Sub is probably the best legacy moveset for attacking.

I have a RT/SE one that I love as an attacker. The SE does nicely even against Snorlax. Haven't tested it against Blissey much. I have mine maxed out for tough gyms - I also have a Rhydon with MS/SE and between the two of them, they can often take down 3-4 high CP opponents.
