What Pokemon is better competitively, Golurk or Runerigus?

Runerigus. Golurk is unfortunately the worst of the three Ground/Ghost lines from a competitive standpoint. It doesn't hit hard enough for how slow and frail it is.

Doesn't Golurk have 125 Atk + Iron Fist? I thought it hit pretty hard

The Worst from a competitive standpoint= Doesnt kill in one hit, with priority + life recovery +setting up both screens at the end of the first turn.

I forgot Palossand existed until I had to figure out who the third line was.

Iron fist is a shitty ability unless you're Melmetal; the one move Golurk gets stab + iron fist on is shadow punch which isn't that strong.

Isn't Runerigus too passive? What are the advantages of Runerigus over Golurk?

Better bulk, support; sets up Toxic Spikes/Stealth Rock. W.o.W, Haze, & it’s ability can hinder an opposing Pokémon

Plus it looks better

It does on paper, but its secondary STAB is a 72BP Shadow Punch which doesnt really do it any favors.

Combine that with average bulk, low speed and no boosting moves it becomes clearly why nobody really uses it.

Iron Fist now boosts punching moves by 1/3 instead of 1/5

How does he fare now?

Why is Iron Fist so shit? It's a much more limited version of Tough Claws yet Tough Claws gets a bigger boost?

Because Charizard gets access to Tough Claws.

Runerigus is a very good albeit niche Trick Room option in doubles. His ability can be very strong and annoying for physical attackers, and also it can be used to totally cripple prankster users
