Golurk has joined the latest list of Raid bosses in Pokémon Go. Golurk is a Ground and Ghost-type Pokémon, which means it is weak to Ghost, Water, Grass, Ice, and Dark-type moves. Using Pokémon that match these typings will usually result in a victory against the Raid boss. Raid guides can help players going into battle with a difficult Raid boss, as players will know which typings are good and bad to bring into the fight and which moves to set up their Pokémon with in order to have the best chance of success.
