DESCRIPTION
2 – AuraKshatriya, PHANTOMxTRAINERI managed to make 3 Golurk sets. ^^
Trick Room Terror
Golurk @ Ghost Gem
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 4 Def
Nature: Adamant
Shadow Punch
Earthquake
Hammer Arm
Protect
This set is one that should be used on a Trick Room team. It can also work well in doubles battles when with a Bronzong with levitate as an ability. Protect allows you to phase any damage while Trick Room is being set up. Shadow Punch for a good STAB move; especially with the Ghost Gem. Earthquake is going to be your main attack for taking out opponents. Hammer Arm is a great move to use with Trick Room up; not only is it powerful, but it lowers your speed, which makes you faster while Trick Room is up.
Special Golem?
Golurk @Choice Specs
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 SpAtk / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Nature: Modest
Shadow Ball
Ice Beam
Thunderbolt
Focus Blast
I know this set is a little odd, but Golurk can have the potential to be a special attacker. When this Pokemon has max special attack and has choice specs as an item, its gets a 343 special attack stat as a result. Golurk is able to have a ton of special attacks, including the bolt-beam attack combination. Shadow Ball makes it have a good STAB move against Psychic and other Ghost types. Even though Golurk doesnt get and special Ground attacks, it gets Focus Blast, which can deal with a wide variety of types. This set may also work well on a Trick Room team.
Spectre Polish
Golurk @Leftovers
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Spe / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Nature: Jolly
Rock Polish
Earthquake
Shadow Punch
Stone Edge
Even though Golurk has 55 base speed, it can become a good sweeper with one Rock Polish. Ive used a Pokemon similar to Golurk with the same base speed, and it was able to outspeed a Timid Moltres after 1 Rock Polish. Earthquake acts as a main STAB attack. Shadow Punch deals with pokemon that can avoid Earthquake; mostly Psychic types with Levitate. Stone Edge covers the pokemon who have the Normal/Flying. This set is definitely preferred if you want to use Golurk on a non-Trick Room team.
