Golem @ Custap Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Explosion
With a near unresisted STAB combination in Earthquake + Stone Edge, coupled with a great Attack stat and Sturdy to reliably set up hazards in most situations, Golem cements itself as the premier Stealth Rock setter in the ZU tier. Explosion, along with Custap Berry, prevents the opponent from using Defog or Rapid Spin while simultaneously dealing massive damage and gaining momentum for its own team. However, preserving Golem has benefits. Its typing allows it to check powerful Normal-type Pokemon like Bouffalant while also checking the most prolific Choice Scarf user in the tier, Electivire. Golem is very weak to special attacks, so pairing it with specially defensive Pokemon like Mareanie or Assault Vest Komala is recommended.
