Golisopod is one of those mons that will require hazard removal to be used effectively, but man oh man does this have a lot of upside, especially with the bulk.
Consider if you will, Rocky Helmet. You can switch Golisopod in on a resisted attack (say Azumarill Aqua Jet), get the damage from RH, and then if you have a more offensive check you can immediately switch to that if G-Pod falls below 50% HP. It's the same against weak U-turns really. Emergency Exit really prevents G-Pod from being an effective setup sweeper though, so Band/ Life Orb/Bug Plate/AV/Rocky Helmet seem like the go-to items.
