I like the idea behind this, but there are 2 things I suggest you change:

1. This set has no recovery, so do Air Slash --> Roost. The coverage that Air Slash provides is not very good, so you can...

I will say a few things on this:

1. Ludicolo runs rampant in NU, and destroys Golurk with any STAB, especially Hydro Pump/Grass Knot.
2. For Golurk to rise to RU, it must receive above a certain...
