Artillery platforms built into the walls of ancient castles served as perches from which Golurk could fire energy beams.

Golurk Weakness

Golurk's Ground/Ghost typing leaves it vulnerable to Water, Grass, Ice, Ghost, and Dark. It shrugs off Normal, Electric, and Fighting-type attacks completely.

Legends: Z-A Golurk Best Moveset

Earthquake is the safe click most turns. Choice Band locks Golurk into it but rewards with raw power at the cost of move flexibility. Adamant nature and max HP and Attack EVs maximize that first hit. Noguard helps on the margins.

Moves

Breadth over depth defines this movepool. Golurk won't stack one type's damage ceiling, but coverage across 11 types means it always has an effective option. Earthquake and Phantom Force anchor the STAB core.

Golurk Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, Golurk works as a wallbreaker with 483 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Legends: Z-A for the right team. Earthquake with Choice Band is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Z-A, watch for Milotic (Water), Venusaur (Grass), and Lapras (Ice) when using Golurk. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Ghost and Dark-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Iron Fist strengthens punch-based moves to 1.2× their power. That's the one you want on Golurk. No Guard is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Klutz works too if your team needs something different.

  • Golurk is a physical attacker with base 124 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 55 Speed, it won't be moving first often. Fits the wallbreaker role.

  • For Legends: Z-A, Golurk has answers, but so do you. Status moves (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp) wear it down. Setup sweepers can use it as a boost opportunity. Special attackers bypass its physical bulk.

Game Availability

Since Black & White, Golurk has been obtainable in 9 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Golurk has appeared steadily across every generation since.
