Which would you choose (not a Ditto for breeding, but for battling)?

For battling generally I'd go for HP Ice, as Ice can take down Dragons, bug, grass and ground types from unsuspecting opponents. (And since Dragons are still a viable threat as they usually have been in every meta game, HP Ice is a Hidden Power I would find much more useful in general. Also depends on your party and what Pokemon you are working with as well. But in general, I'd say HP Ice.
Stands for trainer shiny value- if it matches an egg's shiny value, the egg hatched will result in a shiny
trainer shiny value
it is a static hidden value that every game has, and there's no way to see your TSV without some outside programme (like KeyBV), but if an egg's shiny value matches the TSV of the game it's hatched in, it'll hatch as a shiny
But Ice is normally effective on Bug. (Not to be mean)
ok thanks yall.
Yup it is normally effective on Bug
If you have caught/hatched a shiny Spinda, you should be able to figure out your TSV by checking the location of the spots on its face.
This however is a ridiculously prone to error and time consuming manner to do it... Just to say it doesn't have to be done with external devices for those who dislike their involvement at any stage of the process.
Edit:
My apologies, this is in fact completely wrong... Spinda's spot-generation has changed for Gen 6, and so it can't be done this way. Sorry for misleading.

Opinions on this Golem for my TR team?
Sturdy / N/A (haven't decided on a held item yet)
Relaxed
Stealth Rock | Gyro Ball | Earthquake | Stone Edge
The idea is basically a Defensive wall that's immune to Electricity (currently the biggest threat to my TR team), along with a Stealth Rock setter. I'm iffy on him as a 6th teammate, as he has so many weaknesses, but he's the slowest and bulkiest Ground type I could find, and he has Stealth Rock.

What about Rock blast over Stone edge? accuracy over power, and to break focus sashes.
Accuracy over power would apply if the move you're suggesting didn't already have problems with accuracy, and I'd rather just put Smack Down on then take my chances with Rock Blast.
Now that i'm thinking on that it could go either way.
I hate it when random (mostly japanese ) players challenge you to a battle. Only for you to enter and see their team is comprised of Mega Kangaskhan, Rotom Wash with Choice specs trick, Swagger foul play Klefki, Gengar, Outrage Garchomp, and Talonflame. There is literally nothing my mostly UU team can do to that.

Gyro Ball is kind of meh. It's not much coverage, and it simply flops on anything slow and I really can't think of anything it'd hit harder than Stone Edge / Earthquake other than.. Mega Gardevoir? If I'm missing something don't be afraid to correct me; I'm often wrong and am not afraid to admit this.
A Normal Gem Explosion on the other hand, can horrifically maim people, and more importantly, gives you something Rhydon / Rhyperior don't do better. I'm assuming Kalos-Born restrictions here so won't mention tutors.
Curse, Wide Guard, Protect, and Fling+King's Rock can have some amusement as well. It's also one of the seemingly few things with Smack Down though I can't think of a reason to use it beyond Skarmory.
Also it takes at least 4 Rock Blasts to equal Stone Edge and 5 to beat it, which is rather low odds. Trust me, I tried it on Rhydon, it WILL fail you more often than not. So I support Stone Edge on this one. :P
Weakness policy! Ditch gyro ball and go rock polish. You wont always have trick room up..Opinions on this Golem for my TR team?

I feel your pain, that mega-Khangaskhan is a pain to deal with.
Hmm...
So, I'm hearing ditch Gyro Ball, go Explosion with Normal Gem, or Weakness Policy/Rock Polish. Just FYI, this is purely singles, though I will definitely consider that sort of Golem if and when I start getting into Doubles.
I might go Normal Gem Explosion for the chance that there's a threat my team can't take out otherwise, but now I'm kind of considering just ditching Golem and getting a fast sweeper if I'm not able to get Trick Room up enough.
You could always try curse steelix..its slower, bulkier, gets stab steel moves, and meets all your other requirements with golem
Honestly, I probably wouldn't choose Steelix, as good as it sounds for the team, solely because I really hate how it looks.

Afraid not. [<- this is updated] (excluding NovaSoul; or at least not from users I've come across).
