+ Fairy Aura + 20 Sp.Atk
nice mon " moonblast spam go brrr, can trick steels into hindering their utility and make them easier to take advantage off by other teammates. THis can help pokemon that would otherwise struggle against them" this is what i would say pretty much to my own sub..
Steel/Water + 20 Sp.Def + Liquidation
I would say nice defensive water and a nice rocker we have since it can tank a lot with the increase bulk since it can potentially run AV or become a bulky stealth rocker which can hit a lot of the tier super effectively between heat crash to nuke pokemon like ferro, kart, dhelmise, melm, heavy slam for a very strong neutral hit backed up by its strong attack, power whip can help vs bulky waters and earthquake just hits toxapex + steels hard enough and takes out zeraora who may try to setup. Sounds like a good pick but idk ill wait for more opinions since this is just me trying to theory smth
Dragon/Electric + Volt Switch
dragon/electric with being able to run smth such as volt switch, draco, thunderbolt, trick on choice sets. Not having that psychic type is a blessing as knock no longer nukes its hp bar and u-turn now no longer would force it out as easily. Electric on a levitating pokemon is nice and helps it with some extra resistances against steel, flying, and a quad resist to electric which helps it a lot. I believe it can fit itself better on balance teams but idk sounds cool also maybe a potential rain nuke with stab thunder
+ Shift Gear
Uh... let me check the calcs "checks calcs"

+1 252 Atk Life Orb Golurk Poltergeist vs. 252 HP / 68 Def Tornadus-Therian: 374-442 (103.3 - 122%) -- guaranteed OHKO
it sounds scary under screen but this is LO damage which means it can be easy to get it into range of priority or chip it down so it kills itself with LO... it sounds good on paper but idk it seems like it has to survive which is possible under screens and on pokemon such as slowking-g, tapu koko, dragalge, cobalion, turtonator, and maybe some more... it sounds good enough but idk ill let more people explain it who would understand it more than i do
+ Protean + Spikes
this is litterally gren 2.0... ignoring that its decent... it lacks the coverage of gren and the threat value of having such coverage it still does its job... lay down spikes on forced switchins and pivot out with u-turn eventually chipping its targets into range of its attacks... its one dimensional pretty much with boots or specs being potential sets i could see as it doesnt have the coverage or attacking stat to abuse any other stuff besides having a set of hydro, spikes/u-turn, and between ice beam/air slash/dark pulse, shadow ball as ur last.. that is it i feel like it can do stuff on offensive teams and it sounds somewhat decent idk... may be a harsh meta for it as while its stronger its just to one dimensional and has easy counters unlike greninja's versatility and unpredictability
:spams moonblast and gets kills. Put a specs on it and it goes ham. Sadly it doesnt learn leaf storm, but it has Moonblast / Psychic / Giga Drain / U-Turn on a specs set, very cool. Anything that doesnt resist fairy gets blasted.
:big elephant go wall. Run an AV set or a sheer force attacker, and it could be really good. Steel/Water is a good offensive and defensive combo, which makes it a fun mon to play with.
: spam volt switch or smt. Has boltbeam coverage and a strong draco to throw off. Could be a really nice specs mon.
scary. Presses shift gear and has unwallable coverage. Poltergeist + No Guard Dynamic Punch is disgusting. Poltergeists everything, then punches dark- and normal- types. Scary ghost.
: greninja w/o the coverage lmao boring.
