>>30057666Your thought pattern is flawed, Satan. Most fully evolved Pokémon can function competitively in their respective tier. Tiers are arbitrarily created so not every Pokémon has to go up against mega fug. Golosipod will work competitively, probably in UU or RU. I see 2 viable sets:
Golosipod @ assault vest
Adamant, 252 HP EV's, 252 ATK EV's
>liquidation>leech life>coverage or priority (sucker punch, brick break, aerial ace, shadow claw, rock slide, poison jab, aqua jet,...)First Impression only has 10BP more than leechlife, doesn't drain and only works on turn 1. Not worth it imo. his hitpoints are low, so putting EV's in them and not in its defenses is the best for overall tankiness. This doesn't take into account EV spreads to counter or outspeed specific Pokémon though.
Golosipod @ choice band
Adamant, 252 HP EV's, 252 ATK EV's
>liquidation>leech Life>Aqua Jet>coverage or priority (sucker punch, brick break, aerial ace, shadow claw, rock slide, poison jab,...)Emergency Exit has more disadvantages than advantages, but you should try to benefit from this ability if you use Golosipod on your team. Some things that come to mind are:
>remove hazards on the field, since you'll be switching a lot>use frail and fast Pokémon that have a hard time getting on the field, but that can be devastating once they are out>wish support synergizes well with leech life
