If it wasn't for it's ability, Golisopod would've been one of the greatest, most flawless pokemon of all time. From an objective scale of course.

Golisopod is still great, you just have to actually put a bit of thought in to get the most out of it. It's not as good as it would have been with a different ability, but it's way more fun to use than it would've been otherwise.

It needs more coverage. Its only coverage options are Rock Slide, Brick Break and Sucker Punch. That's pretty pathetic.

Swarm would've been more useful than emergency exit. But I guess it can be used to gain momentum since golisopod uses priority moves most of the time

Its ability would be alright if it activated at the end of the turn, instead of immediately after hitting 50%. And if entry hazards weren't a thing.

It's built to be a revenge killer, but it's bulky enought to try a sweeper set with sword dance/leech life/aqua jet/sucker punch, but I have no idea how actually good that is.

Are you on dumb, my friend? Emergency Exit literally prevents you from making some stupid fucking decision and getting your ass kicked, or further damage being done. Looks like someone has already forgotten the first rule of the Guz Control.

It's not worth it at all. A swords dance set goes against its ability rather than trying to synergize with the ability. You won't get the most out of it using a set like that.

This.

/vp/ is too dense and competitively retarded to realize this, though. It's ability technically does function as a hindrance, but it's done in such a way where you can make plays with it. Anything from performing as a bulky pivot to an offensive Spiker that can pivot around incoming defogers/rapid spinners. It's not like Archeops where it's ability is a straight hindrance, it's an ability that really only harms it's consistency. It'll never stay OU, but it'll always be OU viable.

Really, it's biggets glaring flaw is that Leech Life is a so-so offensive recovery move.

Just use it. There is no better option.
You might be able to pull of some Z move gimmick shenanigan or something, but Assault Vest will be reliable. With maxed out Def. physical hits only scratch him most times, and the assault vest makes sure you don't get booted out by literally any special attack.

I'm considering my other options, so far they aren't pretty. There's the Z-move, and there's that item that boosts bug moves by 1.2x. Choice items are a no go, Life Orb is iffy with that ability. Maybe Leftovers if I want to run Spikes.

GF should make an item that nullifies the holders ability. Would be funny for giving your opponent, and would be cool using Regigigas and Slaking as NO ITEMS, NO ABILITY, STATS ONLY NORMAL DESTINATION.

This isn't like Shields Down or Schooling, where Golisopod gets some kind of advantage until a certain HP% and needs to keep that advantage until the end of the turn to not be useless.

Emergency Exit is the one thing keeping it from getting immediately focused down in, and even in Singles, it only brings the downside of not getting to use non-priority moves until its second time in.

Also, if you're really that worried about entry hazards, bring literally any Pokemon with Rapidspin/Defog. You have multiple Pokemon on your team for a reason.

Life Orb. A boosted neutral-hitting First Impression (and even a SE Aqua Jet) is a real kick in the dick, and you'd be surprised at how often it turns "Emergency Exit on the next turn with 10% HP remaining" into "Emergency Exit on this turn with 50% HP remaining."
