Golurk @ Choice Band
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Poltergeist
- Earthquake
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge

Golurk is a notable wallbreaker in RU thanks to its Choice Band-boosted, perfectly accurate Poltergeist and Earthquake, which demolish defensive staples like Reuniclus and Stakataka. Furthermore, its typing stops the difficult-to-handle Toxtricity from freely spamming its STAB moves and Boomburst. Common switch-ins such as Zarude are nailed by Close Combat, while pesky Flying-types like Togekiss and Noivern do not appreciate Stone Edge. It is advisable to pair Golurk with partners such as Roserade and Dragalge, which can provide a secondary check to Electric-types and handle bulky Water-types like Suicune and Milotic; Dragalge can also safely pivot in Golurk with Flip Turn. Checks to Zarude such as Togekiss, Cobalion, and Incineroar are also helpful, allowing Golurk to more freely utilize its STAB attacks.
