Strategy Overview
As one of the premier Blue Orb attackers in Mix and Mega, Golisopod is one of the best offensive wallbreakers. Golisopod's Liquidation, backed by a strong base 175 Attack after the Blue Orb boost as well as Primordial Sea, punches holes in many walls in the tier. Furthermore, Aqua Jet allows it to also serve as a revenge killer to pick off faster threats and weakened attackers. A key resistance to Ground-type moves and a Fire immunity as it switches in give it many opportunities to come in against opposing threats. Unfortunately, a poor base 40 Speed stat leaves Golisopod vulnerable to faster attackers. In addition, the one-dimensional nature of Golisopod's attacks can make it predictable and easy to check. Golisopod also fails to 2HKO bulky walls unboosted, limiting its ability as a wallbreaker.
