Strategy & play
How Golurk plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Golurk Hammer) needs 5 Energy — a turn-5 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 180 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Psychic type, weak to Darkness ×2 — a Darkness attacker doing ≥75 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 4 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
How to beat Golurk
- Exploit its Darkness weakness — ≥75 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 4 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Golurk is real?
Golurk is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set.

For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
