Golem

Description

Golem from the Hidden Fates set, released in 2019, stands as a formidable presence in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Carrying card number 35 and illustrated by Ken Sugimori, this Rare card represents the final evolution of the Geodude line. With 170 Hit Points, Golem provides a durable anchor for any deck, evolving from Graveler to deliver significant offensive pressure through its diverse attack repertoire. The card features two distinct attacks that highlight Golem's raw power. Rock Slide deals 60 damage to three of your opponent's Benched Pokémon, making it an efficient tool for clearing space and applying board-wide pressure without triggering Weakness or Resistance for those benched targets. For a more focused strike, Land Crush delivers 140 damage to a single opponent's Pokémon, requiring two Fighting and two Colorless energy to activate. While the Retreat Cost of 4 is quite high, the trade-off is a Pokémon capable of turning the tide of battle with a single, heavy blow. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a personal collection, Golem offers a blend of reliability and power that has endured since its 2019 debut. The card’s design and stats reflect the classic Pokémon TCG style, appealing to both long-time fans and new players alike.
