Galvanize is really cool but it's pretty much wasted on

>>30454673
No

Stealth Rock + Explosion

I'm just gonna slap a Choice Band on it.

>>30454673

>Set up Sneaky Pebbles
>Explode

That's how you use Alolan Golem

>>30454704
>>30454729
if you're just gonna use it to set up the rocks and let it die might as well use sturdy instead

Double Edge hurts like a bitch too if you want to use it somewhat conservatively. Even Return hurts at 120 plus STAB. Worth considering on a TR team too.

>>30454673
It's going to be better than standard Golem in whatever tier it is.

Also it pretty much has two shots if you give it the electric z-stone.

>>30454798
Galvanize explosion basically kills everything that doesn't resist or is immune to it.

>>30454798
Galvanize explosion is way too good to ignore.

Use a sash if you want to be super safe.

>>30454889
You need Electric Terrain and a boosting item because I learned that wasn't the fucking case the other day in the Battle Royal when Mega Audino survived a CRIT Explosion

>>30454889

Golem-A @ Assault vest
Ability: Galvanize
EVs: 76 HP / 252 Atk / 32 Def / 148 SpD
Nature: Brave (0 speed IVs) / Adamant
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-Double-Edge / Return
-Gyro Ball / heavy slam

I was thinking of giving the guy a normalium Z so I wouldn't waste the explosion as well as play mind games with the opponent, but I also thought of choice scarf and air balloon. I'm doing this with doubles in mind, so I do expect a lot of protect and earthquakes, not sure what to go with.

>>30454889
good but chances are you're not going to pull it off and will just end up dying to an EQ instead

>>30454993
Galvanize doesn't affect Z moves so it will remain Normal and won't be boosted by Galvanize

>>30454939
Is there a particular reason for the Special Defense investment?

Galvanize is unironically your worst option.

Here's three sets you could use:

Golem-Alola @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rock Polish
- Thunder Punch
- Rock Blast
- Earthquake

Golem-Alola @ Custap Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Thunder Punch
- Explosion
- Rock Blast

And finally, the meme set

Golem-Alola @ Firium Z
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA
Rash Nature
- Thunder Punch
- Fire Blast
- Stone Edge
- Stealth Rock

>>30454937
Isn't Explosion a spread move in multibattles? The reduced damage may be why.

>>30454998
Why would you stay in to begin with ? Also, Tapu Bulu is now a thing, EQ isn't as scary as it used to be (it still is, but you have a better chance to survive, unless it gets a crit).

>>30455056
Getting the most out of that Assault Vest, I assume.

>>30455064
Messed up the last one. You could run 252 HP / 80 SpA / 176 Spe, but the EVs really depend on what you want to outspeed

>>30455056
Assault Vest is the /vp/ meme held item for some reason.
Everyone her slaps that thing on everything. I bet someone here had the great idea of having an AV offensive Blissey one day.

>>30454673
You talk as if outside Aerilate all the other -ate abilities aren't on slow Pokemon.

>>30455173
I don't entirely get it either. But then again I'm the kind of person that sees Galvanize Explosion and slaps a Choice Band on.

It gets shut down so hard by ground types, it's really disappointing.

Could have thrown him a bone and given him Seed Bomb at least, or Ice Punch (like an electric type will ever get an Ice move sans Lanturn.)

CB Galvanize Explosion could be silly in battle royal though.

>>30454803
>return
You mean 102 + STAB?

I've been using galvanize + flame orb facades. Kills almost everything and allows me to set up sneaky pebbles at times. Sure, it's not effective at all times, but it's basically filler on my team anyways. Might as well have fun, effective filler.

>>30454673

Can someone shoop a ushanka on it's head?
Maybe a bottle of vodka in it's hand?

>>30455366
>like an electric type will ever get an Ice move sans Lanturn.

Ahahahah. It feels good to be a privileged Water fag. Electric fags BTFO!

>>30455391
galvanize also boosts the base power by 20%, same as pixilate/aerilate

Here you go

counter, flail, rock slide and explosion in a trick room team

Above and beyond m8
Thanks a lot
