MetaMons competitive notes
Golurk is a ground/ghost-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 483 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 55) and a physical attacking profile. Its Iron Fist ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Golurk. Build around what Golurk actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
