Why isn't Sturdy better than Galvanize? Running Galvanize

>>31228869
because offense golem > defense golem

>>31228883
I don't think this explains anything.

>>31228869
I would assume that someone using A-Golem would want to bait and clear out the ground types before deploying it

Because physical electric moves barely exist.

Because you lose to Ground types even with Sturdy so you mind as well use Galvanize for strong electric moves. Magnet Pull is ok too.

Use Air balloon
Alola golem hits as hard as Zekrom

>He doesn't use Sturdy with weakness policy and Rock Polish

>>31228899
I think the implication is that Golem is better off trying to deal a ton of damage than it is trying to tank attacks and last a while in battle.
And Galvanize Explosion/Return/Giga Impact does a FUCKTON of damage, so since Golem's going to be destroyed easily by any of its numerous weaknesses, you may as well give it Focus Sash and just STAB Electric + -ize boost explode.

To be fair, thats how most Rock types should be played anyway; like Ice, they're given defensive stats, abilities, and moves constantly, but their types are way better for attacking.

he works best as a nuke

Gee thanks Gamefreak. Only thing needed to make them work is a focus sash in order to get off 1 attack
