Adam, keep in mind that this is PAX, not the RPG. Ice Shard in this game is just a fast projectile. It's not going to be useful when applied to Mega Golem X because it already has better Fire-Type moves, and even Rock-Type moves that are stronger and much more useful. Rock Tomb, for example, slows down anything it hits, which makes it so that Golem can approach and use melee attacks. It also has Stone Edge, which will most likely be a move that hits from below the ground. And don't forget about Sandstorm, which creates a large AoE that damages non-Rock/Ground/Steel-Type Pokemon inside it. Case in point, there are better strategies.
