It's immune to Glare, Body Slam and Tri Attack as it's Ghost-type.
It can be Paralyzed by the Static ability, though.
Wait. I understood the situations about Tri-Attack and Body Slam (Normal damaging moves), but Glare? Be a Ghost-type grants immunity to Normal Status moves, is it?
Legitimate viable Wish Chanseys/Blisseys are very rare - they were given out once at level 5 as an Event Chansey in 2003 (2004?).
You need a 21 win streak to face the Subway Boss (kinda hard), and then you can ride the Super Train. The same goes for all of the other trains too.
With only a 20% chance to activate (even with SG), you won't get the boosts too often. And since they're all 60 BP without STAB, they won't hurt. You're better off running a set of Nasty Plot/Baton Pass/Wish/Air Slash. Anything that would like a +1 in all stats, could probably use +2 Sp. Atk better.
From what I understand, type immunities don't work against status moves other than Thunder Wave. I can test in-game if you'd like, though.
For reference, under normal circumstances Golurk can be Paralyzed by Bounce, Dragon Breath, Light Ball Fling, Stun Spore, Freeze Shock, Glare, Psycho Shift, Static, Effect Spore, and Synchronize. I might have missed a couple.
Speaking about damaging moves, it's correct, of course -- Ghost-types aren't affected by Normal-type attacks, and vice versa. But I'm talking about Other moves (affected by Taunt). That's why I keep the doubt.
Any normal type moves, damaging or non-damaging do not affect ghost types at all. The only way that ghost types are affected would be through use of Foresight, Odor Sleuth, and the Scrappy ability.
I thought Mirror Coat and Counter reflects the move that hits you the last. So... Basically, I suppose, you can only Counter/Mirror Coat whichever move comes in last.
EDIT: I'm Dragonite'd (Dragonite>Ninjask)
Future Sight happens after Counter/Mirror Coat? Well, then it can indeed only reflect Thunderbolt or Close Combat, in this case.
According to Serebii it's 0. :/
Counter and Mirror Coat? -5, IIRC.
Don't really know how Future Sight works, actually... At the end of the turn?
So, to test this, I caught a Seviper, taught it Glare, and hunted down a Golett. I have just paralyzed it with Glare without any setup. If Golurk is immune to Glare on Pokemon Online, it's a bug.
Edit: Mirror Coat/Counter is -5 priority, but Future Sight is "End of Turn", which means it goes after all attacks with a listed priority.
Future Sight happens during the afterturn effects like SS, Hail, leech seed, etc. CC would be reflected back by Counter and T-bolt by Mirror Coat on that turn, but Future Sight would hit them in the end phase of the turn after the reflection wears off.
EDIT: Double Ninja'd >.<
Thanks, I rest my case.
EDIT: @jalmont747, like Curse, used by a Ghost-type, against Normal-type Pokémon? I have lots of Pidgeottos to prove its vice-versa ;)
Hmm... I ran the exact same test and I got the same result. I also tried other non-damaging normal type moves such as leer and it affected the Golett. After further research, I take back what I said earlier. Non-damaging normal type moves do affect ghost types. I also believe it works vice-versa.
Edit at above: Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Confuse Ray, but yeah.
Makes sense as hypnosis also works on dark types.
Defenatly changes the way i thought about some pokemon .
What tier is galvantula in? Really liked him in my BW playthrough.
@WinstonShnozwick: Galvantula is currently in RU on our server right now, but on the PO server he's UU.
If I transfer a Darkrai nicknamed "DARKRAI" (as expected) from DPPt to BW, will its name change to "Darkrai" or will it still be a "DARKRAI"?
