DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

Golurk is my little brother's favorite pokemon, he even has a painting of a shiny one made by our sister, so it's cool to finally see him on here :)
Your little brother has great taste!
AWWWW
That is so wholesome omg
Daaawwwww!
Golurk rocks!
I’m happy that golurk finally has his very needed strong physical ghost stab, a mon with such an incredible design didn’t deserve to be restricted to the lowest tiers
Same. Here's hoping for more upgrades to Golurk.
If Golurk makes it into SV’s DLC packs, it could make very good use of the new Punching Glove item which not only boosts punching moves, but also ignores contact damage from abilities such as Rough Skin.
@@snapclub8751Headlong Rush is also considered a punching move, and I could see Golurk getting it...
EDIT: He didn't :(
If Is allowed in lower tiers it isn't restricted it's actually more viable, It would be restricted if confined in higher formats.
Golurk is one of the coolest Pokémon to me. Like it’s a giant mechanical automaton that’s a ghost.
I AGREE HES SO COOL I LOVE HIS DESIGN SO MUCH HE IS MY FAVORITE POKEMON
Yeah it’s In my favorite gen 5 Pokémon. Also this is gonna sound weird, but I kind think of Golurk in a similar light to Tangrowth. Big hulking Pokémon that for a while was better than the tier it was put in
Think more like a clay statue that's inhabited by a spirit
Yeah one of my favorite and underrated pokemon....the poor guy doesn't even get that much screen time
I like how they fly in the anime
Golurk's ghost and ground typing made this character unique in my eyes since it was the first of its kind, coming before the likes of Palossand and Runerigus
For anyone wondering why this guy is everywhere, alot of people copy his name and pfp
@@Philip-sq7un Or maybe he is one guy and he simply loves a lot of different things and has lots of free time on his hands to comment everywhere.
I used to think it was Ghost Rock type
Cintrón Productions possible
ᴊ ᴇ s ᴛ ɪ ɴ who asked
Fun fact: golurk is cool and is an honorary regi-golem
One of the best Unova pokemon
@@ethanjordan2707 Agreed.
Yeah there cousins
Regi-golurk!!
it is my foverite unova pokemon alongside haxerous (becase I just cant decide between them)
Fun fact: Golurk has access to HM fly.
Edit: thanks to everyone letting me know it can fly like a rocket in the anime, most people haven’t watched that believe it or not
So a giant hulking mecha made of dirt can learn Fly but not Scyther or Yanmega? XD
TheLuchaKabuto
and in the anime they portray it by having its hands and legs pulling in, turning into rockets
@@stevenmattrell3448 I did notice that during the video, thats probably the reason behind it
If Pokemon wasn’t riddled with lazy shortcuts like all Pokemon have the same fly animation we would probably actually see that concept in game
I don’t like using flying types because it’s a bit redundant when I’ve already got a fire type and their movepools can be narrow, so having Golurk here able to learn fly for the utility use in game and to hit 3 weakness it’s stabs didn’t beat otherwise was brilliant and I’ve loved him ever since
My friend and I are both playing PokeMMO rn and as we decided our teams for gen 5, we both wanted to use Golurk as our pokemon that learns fly
Let’s all band together and just suggest ghost types and dark types this entire month
Well, it is Spooktober, so what about a Pokemon with a skull on it and uses a bone for a weapon... Marowak?
@@PansyPops Marowak has already been done
I want a "How good was Scrafty actually"
Wolf_Gaming 40 a good suggestion but it’s been done. Maybe Lunala instead?
@@yuakim has it? I’ll have to watch it then
Pokemon logic
Golurk flies like a jetpack but has 55 base speed
On the other hand a fat cat like Purugly has a base speed of 112
golurk doesn't walk fast, which is its battle position.
the speed stat is more indicative of agility than raw speed
fat isnt even that heavy
And Slaking has 100 speed.
@@4206vidsgaming the Pokédex states it uses huge bursts of energy at once so it’s just pushing itself vey hard befor being lazy and resting off
“Superman...”
- Golurk using fly
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, *it’s Golurk!*
If you're actually referring to Iron Giant that's incredible
another wizard
That’s where the quote was originally from.
That scene makes me cry every time
I was thinking of those old super robots like Getter Robo. Golurk would fit in perfectly.
Fun fact: Golurk has a cannon form that has only appeared in pokepark 2.
And the anime.
@@Nosretep Golurk and Probopass should received their respective Anime moves . Golukr's "Blasting rocket" animation and Probopass a exclusive move using its "Mini-Noses"
Iron man repulsor style
THat should of been his signature move!!!!!
It could be a physical move that hits special defense
"Imagine a flying robot wearing a scarf"
-Keller, 2020
this thing is just such a perfect combination of typing, abilities, and moveset. i'm so glad it can finally use ghost stab without iron fist and fighting coverage without no guard. it has so much versatility now.
It’s really not a perfect typing, it’s so weak defensively.
@@OakenTome but you also get 3 immunities and a quad resistance.
@@OakenTome and stats aren't nothing to write home about either
@@goGothitaLOL they're still perfectly usable.
@@goGothitaLOL 124 attack is good. Why be a downer
Gen 8 has been very kind to a lot of pokemon. Lack of nuclear options like Z Moves and Megas make it possible to actually wall things again, and TRs have blessed mons with moves they could only have dreamed of in the past.
Yet they still haven't gifted Garchomp with DD and Dragapult with Poltergeist
@@frozenvoltz6739 but give tapus dlc broken moves like expanding force and rising voltage
FrozenVoltz does garchomp even need it though? It’s already got so much to make it amazing.
@@Blaze-nm1uh Your probably right, but if the tapus can get broken moves then so should garchomp.
@@garcyrosey7424 This
Who DOESN'T like a giant mecha.
Also gen 5 had the thing where if it came out dust would settle because IT'S heavy.
Also Fly
yea cause dust would get kicked up whenever a pokemon that was very heavy would get sent out causee ik that also happens with Scolipede....and tbh what would you except from a centipede that's the size of a horse
I love the sound effect that comes with it. Seeing the ground move slightly as the heavyweights entered the fight...
I am still searching for that sound effect.
but why was it ground though.....shouldnt it be rock? Like i know the types are arguebaly the same but thw thing is made out of rocks.
@@carto4028 It’d be even weaker defensively if it was rock type, and it’s made of clay, not rocks.
Loved that effect , really helpful to know when to use heat crash or stick to flame charge
I really think Golurk needs a buff in terms of its stats, maybe even a mega evolution or regional form in future games, because it has a ton of potential and it just needs some love in the meta game at this point.
I saw a really cool Alola form of it where it was based off of those large tiki heads and had its ghost typing replaced by fairy
@@dirrt5011 That would be awesome if they had a regional or even mega form for it
i suggest boosting it's defenses to be 95/95/95 bulk
At least it gotten better in Gen. 8 thanks to many stuff it can learn.
I was hoping for a ghost steel form that looked like a haunted set of armour; but hey maybe in the future
I think Golurk should have its unsealed form implemented in the games.

While the similarities to the Iron Giant are there, Golurk seems to be more closely inspired by Tetsujin 28 / Gigantor. The rounder design, the blue coloration, and the complete lack of a neck all seem to more closely resemble one of media's first Giant Robots. Even its shiny coloration could be a nod to the fact that the first Tetsujin anime was in black & white, but thats a bit of a stretch on my part.
Golurk is specifically modeled after the OVA version of Giant Robo (Tetsujin's sister series) which a lot of games like Xenogear and Azito also have mecha's akin to that version of GR
@@DaimosZ Are those tokusetsu-related?
the golem of prag never raised the dead, it was simply a mith about a holy man creating a rock or dirt guardian that was very strong but could it's life could ended by merrily erasing a letter from it's forehead.

I like how golurk's typing makes it immune to almost any move in regileki's movepool
Golurk upon facing Terakkion in gen 8 uu: "Ah! The Sword of Justice, defender of the weak! The titan of the earth! Ye who terrorized the upper echelons of the competitive ladder during the years of our debut! With your frightening physical assaults that I once sought to obstruct! Twas the only asset I had to my name and thus I fell! Down into the lower ranks, toiling among the most pitiful and forgotten of our brethren, hoping for but a scrap of notoriety! But I caught myself, and carved out a precious place in those cold and lonely depths. Simple but honest work, slowly adapting to the new rules of combat, maintaining my position. There was a time when I had nearly given up, cast into the smelliest and lowest rank, made simply out of pity for those that might have otherwise been deemed unfit for competition. But now, here in the noble land of Galar, I have gained a bevy of new skills. I have not only risen in the ranks, I have outright ascended! Though others may look down upon this tier, to me it is an honor! Here I will stake my claim as long as I can, for all those I left behind; both my fellows, and my foes. But lo, what do I see here? The progression of our meta is ever shifting from the introduction of new fighters, new tactics, and new equipment. Not even the mightiest competitors can escape, and that includes you, titan of the earth. Your wrathful strikes could not touch my spectral body then, and they will not touch me now. But you will not be the only victim of my mighty fists! I will rain blows upon down your comrades, too! I have gained the means to check more than just a single opponent".
Terakkion: What
Golurk: But enough talk. Have at you! Poltergeist!
Ah, my favorite non starter, non legendary. And it was fan made at that!
I always thought that the reason Golurk was Ghost was because of how Golems were made. Hebrew golems (where this trend started,) had a medium breathe life into them, or sometimes channel a spirit, then trap it inside. (Hence the restraint on Golurks chest.)
And there is also an old story my grandfather used to tell me, of the spirit of a soldier returning from death, and then possessing a statue of an old hero to defend villages from merciless raids.
Anyways... In the next Gen, could we get some regional variants for Golurk? Another Steel/Ghost or a Rock/Ghost type would be badass. Golems can be made from virtually any material.
I always find videos about lower-tier Pokémon way more interesting and enjoyable than ones about OU/Ubers staples. High-tier Pokémon all end up sounding really samey, but lower tiers seem to encourage much more interesting and creative strategies.
That's how tiering works. OU is all the same, while the lower tiers have cool and interesting strats
That's just how ruthless the competitive scene is. If you go up higher tiers, you must offer something to the table that's not just unique, but also viable. That's not enough though, as likely that someone in the tier can do your job also, but offering more.
Case in point: Gliscor vs Landorus-T
Gliscor's Ground/Flying typing is unique, alongside high Defense and a good support movepool. With access to Poison Heal, Toxic Orb and Substitute, it is the most annoying and stickiest threat to unprepared teams. Primarily used as a stallbreaker.
But that's the only set that Gliscor can run viably in OU; run any offensive set on it and it is immediately outclassed by Landorus-T, who offered a monstrous Attack stat and Intimidate.
In the lower tiers, you can be as creative as you want, since the surroundings can be more conducive.
Though nowadays, to become OU, you must either be a devious trickster or a legendary with legendary stats, typing and good movepool, but somehow failed to enter Ubers.
@@chaosbreaker657 or have a weather ability (pelliper and A9)
@@chaosbreaker657 glisc is actually great on slower teams due to it's reliable recovery
Golurk is one of my favorite pokemon. I don't care how unused it might be.
I kinda want a gengar remake since it's the og ghost
Yup
Could be saved for later in the month
@@krspaceT1 idts
Maybe after the Lati Twins.
Kinda long overdue for them.
@@unknownakatsuki lol
Golurk has always been my favourite pokemon.. it has a beautiful design, wide coverage movepool, and also iron fist ability
I love this pokemon. So cool, interesting stab, stats that while aren’t good competitively are really good in game with great attack and enough bulk.
Don’t forget about it’s immunity to 3 different types in Normal, Fighting and Electric, all of which are pretty dang common.
Just put quick claw on it for speed
Oh yeah, regardless of competitive having a Pokémon that can be your ground type and your ghost type (hitting 8 different types for weakness while also having 3 immunities) and being able to fly and having a ton of great options for a 4th attacking move of a different type was amazing
Like Aggron
@@PansyPops sadly, it cant switch in easily because scald, ice beam, and on gen 6, knock off is everywhere
I said this way back in the Dusknoir vid BUT I would love a Ghost-type Drain Punch. It'd give it another physical Ghost STAB and reliable recovery. Also, it would ideally be boosted by Iron Fist.
what about life drain? 75 base power. The user hits the target with a punch that drains them of their life force.
Am I the only one who got disappointed when used fly on Golurk on gen 6-8 expecting to see a flying animation but get to see a stone giant casually falling down motionless?
no wonder nearly every flying-type have a forced flying animation
I KNOW THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER HE JUST BODYSLAMS YOU
Why would they lol
WE LOVE YOU GOLURK!! YOURE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE!!!!!
How GOOD was Ferrothorn actually? History of Ferrothorn in competive history. (The movie part 1 of 52)
He should have got a mega instead of audino. He was the perfect candidate! Especially based on his Dex entried
Hydreigon deserved it more than both of them
yeah did audino really even want a mega??? it cant hold leftovers and it gets the subpar healer that is useless outside of doubles. i guess the fairy typing is cool but it could've been changed to pure fairy without a mega and nobody would've batted an eye
@@goldenhydreigon4727 Hydreigon's already UU, he doesn't need it. Megas should be for weaker pokemons
I think it should've been Vanilluxe or Chandelure.
@@crystalhunter4122 You mean Mewtwo and Rayquaza were weak ?

Careful, youll lose 50% of your hp

Best boy. Ghost/ground ghost robot mech THAT CAN FLY! Back in the day when you needed a Pokémon with fly but didn’t want a flying type, what a mon to have
laughs in Mew, Flygon, Latios, Latias, Giratina, Arceus, Hydreigon, Volcarona, Reshiram, Zekrom, Genesect and possibly more I couldn't find a source after gen 5
I think one way we could buff Golurk would be a simple stat increase. It has 483 base stats currently, so maybe a 20 point boost to either def or sp. def could be worthwhile.
Golurk is truly one of the coolest Pokémon ever. It’s at the top of my list of Pokémon I would buff.
It really should be much bulkier than it is.
same
Jigglypuff Well, at least Gen 8 was very kind to Golurk and made it amazing. :)
if Golruk got a regional form, I would want it to be ghost/steel and here's how I would rearrange the stat's:
-25 to sp.atk
-5 to Spd
+15 to both Def & Sp.Def
sure all I did was just buff both defenses to 95 but tbh it's HP & Atk stats are great so really only the defenses would need to be buffed for it to take a hit better
But isn't Golurk also based on an clay? If so, than that's why it isn't bulkier.
And even if it didn't get bulkier, it still manage to do well anyway.
For an offensive Pokemon it has a decent bulk
I always felt like golurk was a pokemon that needed a mega. Not to make it any better, but because of it's pokedex entries. two of them mention great power with the seal on its chest "When the seal on its chest is removed, it rages indiscriminately, turning the whole town around it into a mountain of rubble.
" and "It flies across the sky at Mach speeds. Removing the seal on its chest makes its internal energy go out of control.
"
I've seen many artworks where this is used for inspiration but I think it needs to happen in the games
i agree. Heck, one of Golurk's basis is a giant mecha, that is a logical step
Maybe not a mega but a new form, but yeah either way I agree
I like Golurk when I saw him in gen5. I liked him even more when I realized he is also based on a Giant Robot like those I love watching as a kid.
Golurk
game: oh no, knock scary
Manga:
Taking off in 3-2-1

One thing that I loved so far about PokeAni is the huge Golurk acting as a guardian. And that we found out what happens when it's seal is removed.
I love how this thing can fly
Ooo, a Golurk video. This giant clay monster is one of my favourites from Unova, I’m hoping it’s good in competitive!

I love Golurk so much and was so disapointed to see if drop further and further, along with Dusknoirs issue of no good Ghost STAB. But seeing a formerly mediocre PU Pokemon jump to legitimate UU and RU success in *ONE* Generation, especially a Pokemon as unique and cool as Golurk, is just so heartwarming. Gamefreak is weird and cruel at times with how they treat other favorites, but it's good to know they do pay attention... A little bit. Now time for me to finally Shiny hunt this badass beast of a golem.

I'm very happy you did this. Golurk is my 2nd favorite pokemon (first being Venusaur for those wondering) and it's so interesting to learn about him in the competitive metagame.
I forget where but they've given us Lore before that if the Seal on Golurk's Chest is broken the Wrathful Spirit inside it's shell will be release and go on a Horrifying Rampage, that's a Perfect Basis for a Mega/Gigantamax/Regional Variant if I've ever heard one...
Bless Arceus for brining Poltergiest to our struggling physical attacking ghost bois!
Imagine if they gave it to Dragapult tho...
Now if only they can do the same with our struggling physical attacking electric bois! with a better STAB
*sad Electivire, Luxray and Zebstrika noises*
Wild Charge was so close, but then they had to give it recoil for no reason, especially when Leaf Blade exist (same BP, no recoil) tho it's distribution is not as big
EDIT: tho that's only one 90BP physical move that's *NOT A SIGNATURE* well Leaf Blade was a signature but not anymore
Yeah, so many Ghosts love Poltergeist (Dusknoir, Froslass, Dhelmise, Trevenant, Gourgeist, etc). Really hope they give Electric a good physical move that a variety of Electric-types can use
Now they only have to give physical rock types a 100 percent accurate stab that isn't smack down.
@@grunkleg.3110 I'm hoping they'd add it in new DLC.
Just got a shiny golurk yesterday after 548 eggs and I love him :)
I'm remember requesting this awhile back. Thank you for doing a video on one of my favorite Pokemon to ever be made! :D
Seeing him go back up in usage really warms my heart, I always liked golem and thought oh down it goes(like a lot of other moms). And as for any buffs bumping up it’s defences, cause it won’t compete for a fast ghost type in OU, to possibly get a neesh as a bulky offensive ghost
Same. At least it's not as bad as Dusknoir or Banette.
I agree. Here's hoping for more boost to Golurk.

@@SaimBinHassanRizvi then it can't use defense curl
Comparing it to the Iron Giant feels like a very American thing. Golurk is closer to the giant mecha and robot anime of the 70s and 80s, especially with the way it flies as well. Also kaiju movies (even giant turtle Gamera flew with rockets).
Golurk was actually designed by James Turner, a brit, rather than the usual Japanese designers, so it being based off of a more western property like The Iron Giant is much more feasible than normal.
To me it looks much more like a golem than some kind of mechanical robot.
Been waiting for this video ever simce I saw your channel. I'm glad my favorite pokemon gets to start off the Halloween festivities as the first ghost type of October. I'm happy to know that my ghostly golem has been a reliable pick in the lower tiers.

Golurk: The Iron Giant’s down to earth cousin
I would probably buff it’s defences a bit cause it looks like a tank slow, bulky and very powerful
I had a Golurk on my team in swsh with phantom force, hammer arm, fire blitz, and I cannot remember the last but I sweeped the swsh elite four tournament thing at the end with as little death because I had built a monster named Talos. He was my little skrugly scrimbo and Leon wasn't ready. Nobody was.
Golurk is one of my favorite pokemon. It was recently a star in a new Pokemon Journeys episode. When Ash and Gou visit Unova.
Glad this amazing pokemon is getting some love.
Hate on Gen 8 all you want, but you can't deny that removing Megas and Z-Moves is a blessing for certain Pokemon like Golurk.
I agree. Z moves were not healthy for the game.
Why stop there, removing pokemon from the game is a blessing for certain pokemon.
Now all they have to do is remove the worst gimmick
@@voidfields5065 If you mean dynamax, then you might be in luck because I think that's banned in competitive play. So it's basically it's back to Gen 5 standards (without the heavy reliance on weather of course XP)

Thanks. Golurk is my favorite Pokemon and became my favorite because its shiny reminded me of the Iron Giant.
In Gen VII, I know that this is probably odd, but I run Golurk in Doubles with a Quick Claw.
It got close combat, poltergeist and darkest lariat. Noice

I think that was the cousin of a Haunter I know. Ever since that day, she felt death inside.
This mon can fly. This mon can fly.
he can!!! his hands and legs tuck into his body, and form ports! these ports act as thrusters and enable it to fly!
You will believe a mon can fly.
Other Ghost types: spoopy ghost who do absolutely cruel things to their victims
Golurk: *big punch*
So this actually came out on my birthday and Golurk is one of my favorite Pokémon so thanks FSG.
I wish gamefreak explored Golurk jet arms more, they look so cool
they did with fly
Signature move, Rocket Punch
Gamefreak. You said everything.
Honestly should have been Steel/Ghost with higher defense stats.
He's made of clay and as seen by the crack in his chest, pretty brittle for pokemon standards, so it makes sense why he is ground type with middling defenses
@@ashenamber2305 you're right, but they also gave him the ability Iron Fist on top of the Iron Giant reference. So either way would make sense.
@@atmassylphen6785 I would say if a not-at-all-metal Charmander can learn Iron Tail, then a ground-type golem using Iron Fist makes sense without itself being steel-type. :P
@@atmassylphen6785 Iron Fist is on plenty of Pokémon that are nowhere near Steel-type, like Conkeldurr.
thats a valid opinion, though if there was ever a dif form, i think that would be good. Golurk's ground typing points to a more traditional type of spiritual golem made of rocks, so , ground!
Seeing Goh catch a giant Golurk made me want to train a golurk of my own, specifically the one with good stats that i caught in white 2, I named him goliath
Golurk is the closest thing in Pokemon well get to a Transformer-like robot, and THATS why he's my favorite
Golurk and Metagross
As someone who says Golurk i was kinda tilted every time he says Golurk
Ngl...
I love golurk but I wish gamefreak made it stronger. If you look at it's base stat total it's not bad but I feel like it should be above 500 but it's high attack with access to no guard is pretty nice
Man, Golurk did surprised me, I wanna use one now.
Lets go my boy golurk getting the spot like.
