Golem
rockground
It fires rocks charged with electricity. Just grazing an opponent causes numbness and fainting.
Golem has two forms in Polished Crystal, the regular Rock/Ground and the newer Rock/Electric. Unique because both have the same stats, however the Alolan electric version will give it a lot more coverage than the plain form. While both are pretty offensive Pokemon, the Electric version has a bit more options and advantage with type coverage.
