Use Belly Drum against anything that tries to Spore you. After the berry is consumed use Sub to prevent the second Spore, and go to town sweeping with priority EQ and Ice Shard. Golurk is chosen over any other Ground type because it cannot be revenge killed by ES users like Slaking after the Sub is broken. And Golurk has a pretty healthy Atk stat of 124 already so at +6 everything dies regerdless.
This set should be better used with sandstorm support to get rid of Shedinja (stall 1 turn with priority sub and then he dies) and something that is immune/resists the ground/ice combo just in case you don't manage to set-up a sub and Imposter Blissey gets your boosts. Levitate Heatran is one of the best options as it takes nothing from Ice Shard and is immune to EQ, while also being immune to sand damage. As a bonus it can also ohko Shedinja with Magma Storm!

This looks very interesting, however I see one (fixable) weakness. Insofar as using Substitute to block the second spore, the main user of Spore in Balanced Hackmons is Giratina, who (also having Prankster) will outspeed your sub. Unfortunately Golurk at +6 has no way of outspeeding the Spore and killing (closest is 77.38 - 90.87% from Shadow Sneak). For this reason, I recommend switching out Substitute for something else (running Magic Coat, or even trying to fight Giratina with Belly Drum is a bad idea with the recent increase in Restalk Dragon Tail Giratina's that will essentially remove Golurk from the fight in one hit).
