Golett
Say it: GO-le-tt
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Golett is the Puppet Pokémon — Ground and Ghost before Golurk. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Golurk — not a finished raid attacker. Ground/Ghost hits Fire, Electric, Psychic, and Ghost well; Water, Grass, Ice, Ghost, and Dark punish it. Catch Golett from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve. Dynamic Punch from Golett Community Day belongs on Golurk.
Say it: GO-le-tt
Golett (#622) is a Ground / Ghost Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the pre-evolution of Golurk. Trainers almost never power Golett for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Golurk (and Dynamic Punch / Poltergeist). Against Golett, lead with Water, Grass, Ice, Ghost, or Dark.
