Is Gengar or Golem better for Legends: Arceus?

Feb. 6, 2022

I’ve just got Pokémon Legends: Arceus and and I’m already in a predicament.I have both an Alpha Graveler and a Haunter obtained through a Space-time Distortion so I’m wondering who to choose?

Thanks in advance.

After reviewing most of the major battles in the game (I won’t spoil anything), I think Gengar would be more beneficial to you. It’s STAB Poison typing in particular can help out with a lot of different fights. The big ones that it can help out with (Again, while avoiding spoilers) are the second and fourth nobles, along with a couple of major trainer battles. Although there are certain situations where Golem would be the better pick, I find Gengar to have a better advantage. I’d still use a ground or water type on your team, however, so maybe you could use both if possible?

For a final moveset, I’d use something like this;

This game gets really tricky at times, so good luck!
