Released in 2017 as card number 42 in the Guardians Rising set, Alolan Golem represents a powerful evolution in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This Stage 2 Pokémon evolves from Alolan Graveler and boasts 160 HP, making it a resilient choice for Lightning-type strategies.

For those building a comprehensive collection of the Guardians Rising set, this Holo Rare finish adds visual appeal and completeness. The shiny treatment distinguishes it within the base set, appealing to enthusiasts who value both gameplay utility and aesthetic finish.

Flip a coin for each Lightning Energy attached to this Pokémon. This attack does 80 damage for each heads.
Attack: Heavy Slam (200-)
This attack does 30 less damage for each Colorless in your opponent's Active Pokémon's Retreat Cost.
It fires rocks charged with electricity. Even if the rock isn't fired that accurately, just grazing an opponent will cause numbness and fainting.
