CARDEX BACKGROUND

About this Pokémon form

Alolan Golem noisily expresses its bad temper. When this stubborn Pokémon is upset, electricity runs across its body's surface and its rumbling resembles thunder. It also has a formidable way of launching stones: its projectiles are charged with electricity. The discharge therefore accompanies the impact, turning the rocks it fires into weapons capable of bringing down their target.

Background on this form in the video games; this card’s attacks, edition and finish remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

The danger of an Alolan Golem projectile does not depend only on accuracy. According to the Pokédex, an electrified stone can numb an opponent and then cause unconsciousness even when it merely grazes them.
