The busy design can be explained by the design's inspiration, but I never cared for Golisopod anyway.

Most OU mons are Megas, legendaries, psuedos, and unbreakable walls meant to handle all that op bullshit. There's no room for "regular" mons like Golisopod. It does well enough in RU, even better than Araquanid.

It really sucks that I'm not allowed to like this pokemon because it is not particularly strong when played by smogon's rule set. Maybe one day I'll be able to have something other than Landorus as my favorite pokemon.

Actually Smogon is the only place where it's pretty viable (in its own tier). On the other hand Golisopod is a complete piece of shit in all Game Freak formats (VGC, Battle Spot Singles and Battle Spot Doubles)

The humanoid lower body is my only issue with it too. I feel they could've gave it a tail, but realized the upper half was busy enough. Or maybe they wanted more samurai elements as only the armor on it's arms hints the concept.

People got better at managing Emergency Exit.
It's an ability for thinking men; it absolutely is more bad than good, but used properly, it can be a limited asset to the crafty battler.

Wimp Out and Emergency Exit should have both functioned as a response to super-effective moves, not derived from "HP is half or lower." Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, Emergency Exit triggers, and Golisopod switches out.

Same can be said for many Gen 7 Pokemon really but not everything should have to be in OU as that is mega/tapu/landthot/pseudo territory.

My buddy was talking about running a priority set with him the other day. IIRC, the moveset was First Impression, Aqua Jet, Sucker Punch and U-Turn. Probably wouldn't be all that great, but it sounds fun.

The Smogon councils are just as biased and imperfect as every other group of people. They took one look at it and wrote it off as outclassed by Araquanid (and Feraligatr to an extent), even though neither mon has a useful secondary STAB. It doesn't help that it's a high risk high reward Pokemon where you have to decide when to go for the FE and when to punish switchins with a different move; the low ladder just used it for FREE DAMAGE spam like Ambipom, and high level players just assumed it had no depth outside of FE.

There were a few legit meta trends that helped it, though. Durant and Heracross got banned and it loves how so many teams use Mega Steelix over Registeel as their physical wall.

Forgot to mention that the reason why that Bug STAB matters so much is because RU is stacked with thicc waters like Milotic and Mega Blastoise and a lot of mons live or die on how well they match up against them. Araquanid has to go for an awkward Infestation trapping set, while Mega Camerupt isn't even ranked.

And a weird quirk of Emergency Exit is that Sheer Force moves don't trigger it, and neither of the two users of it in RU (Feraligatr and Nidoqueen) commonly carry anything that can touch Golisopod.
