Monotype Golem-A [Electric Monotype] [QC 1/1] [GP 1/1]

:sm/golem-alola:
Golem-Alola @ Air Balloon
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
- Stone Edge

Alolan Golem has a valuable role as Electric teams' only viable Stealth Rock setter, along with being an excellent trapping option with its ability in Magnet Pull alongside Air Balloon, which allows it to trap and OHKO threats such as Excadrill. Stone Edge serves as a STAB move that allows Alolan Golem to beat the likes of Volcarona. Its coverage moves in Earthquake and Fire Punch complement its STAB Stone Edge while guaranteeing KOs on Steel-types such as Excadrill and Ferrothorn. Its Ground-type weakness also makes Rotom-W a good partner, as it can beat Ground-types for it. Special attackers such as Tapu Koko and Alolan Raichu appreciate Alolan Golem's presence due to Stealth Rock's help in chipping their checks, and its trapping ability opens the possibility for them to sweep. The role compression that Alolan Golem offers allows Electric teams to run another wallbreaker such as Choice Band Zeraora, which helps Golem pressure Steel-types more easily.

QC Check:
For the entire spotlight change it to Alolan Golem
- Alolan Golem is the only viable Stealth Rock setter Electric teams have access to. Change the first sentence to reflect that. Also Magnet Pull + Air Balloon serves a very specific purpose, its main job is to trap Excadrill for Electric teams, then other Pokemon such as Ferrothorn.
- Talk about how its role compression (SR+Magnet Pull) allows Electric teams to use another teammate such as Zeraora
- Stone Edge allows Alolan Golem to beat Volcarona, a threat to Electric teams.
- Alolan Golem does appreciate Rotom-W support but it is more because it can beat Ground-types for Alolan Golem. I would talk about teammates it appreciates being like Zeraora and Alolan Raichu, which also appreciate its Stealth Rock.

tag me when you implement this and ill give it another look!

talked on discord and added one more change, its now QC 1/1!

I glanced over this once more and noticed you forgot a change, the comma before "in Magnet Pull" should be removed. This will then be good to go!
