PLACE IN THE META: Golurk likely won't be useful in Pokémon GO. With the Ghost-type field being ruled by Gengar, Giratina, and likely Chandelure and the Ground-type field being ruled by Garchomp, Groudon, and likely Excadrill, Golurk will struggle to stand out. This Pokémon might find some use in Trainer Battles, but Golurk's future doesn't look too promising.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Golurk:
  • Mud-Slap
  • ​Zen Headbutt
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Golurk:
  • Dynamic Punch
  • ​Earthquake
  • Earth Power
  • Heavy Slam
  • ​Shadow Ball
  • Stone Edge

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Golurk's movepool:
  • Hammer Arm
  • ​High Horsepower
  • Phantom Force
  • ​Stomping Tantrum

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Golurk gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! The Bisharp line is up next.
