Golem

Although Golem does face heavy competition as a lead, it does boast rather impressive offensive presence as a result of its high Attack and unresisted STAB combination, which allow it to exert more offensive pressure than competing Ground-type setters in Torterra and Mudsdale. Unlike most suicide leads, Golem isn't reliant on Focus Sash to do its job because of its ability Sturdy, meaning that it can hold other items like Weakness Policy or a Custap Berry and augment its offensive presence even further. Additionally, Golem's access to Explosion gives it a powerful means of pressuring removers not to clear the field and immediately generating momentum for its team, while its access to Sucker Punch gives it the ability to threaten more offensive teams as well as compensate for its low Speed. However, Golem tends to be less consistent than other suicide leads such as Lycanroc, Aurorus, and Omastar due to their access to solid support and utility options in Spikes, Spore, Encore, and Knock Off and their higher Speed. Golem also faces competition from Stealth Rock Aggron despite it not being a dedicated lead, as it boasts higher Speed, slightly greater offensive presence because of Head Smash, and access to Taunt. In addition, Golem is very predictable due to a lack of viable options outside of its main set, and has a hard time forcing out Defog users like Swanna and Cryogonal after Sturdy has been broken.
