Facade is a 140 bp move, double edge is 120 bp, you can run electric plate(or silk scarf(?)) and get 145 bp double edge so no need to kill yourself.. or you can run life orb and get a 130 returnThis is the set I run. You can use it as lead pokemon.

Have been running this set on showdown and it's pretty good. Rock Polish to set up the speed. Then facade get's STAB from Galvanize and extra damage from toxic orb. If you are low on health just use explosion and you can take down your opponent with you. Earthquake against electric type opponent such as Xurkitree.
Return+electric plate would be safest option but you're really giving up decent damage. I'm not sure if the Double Edge is the best alternative because 25% of damage dealt recoil can easily exceed 2 turns of poison damage (especially since their set has no HP investment). As a sweeping set, I wouldn't run the DE but as a HP invested wall breaker it would be a better idea.If you

It does a decent job of setting up rocks and then exploding; my experience with it is mostly in the Battle Royal and Battle Tree though, so its competitive viability against human players hasn't been tested yet.
Yeah, my bad. I had a brain fart. I can't remember what item I was actually using now, so I'll have to check my cart when I get home. Set is still solid, though. :)you cant use rocks with av
Why run a + SpDef nature on a sweeping set? Wouldn't jolly be preferred?Golem-A @ Leftovers

This is the best set i could think up and after a boost beats a lot of uninvested mons don't have any stat calcs but i think it beats uninvested 100 speed tier mons enjoy
you can run like life orb or leftovers on itYeah, my bad. I had a brain fart. I can't remember what item I was actually using now, so I'll have to check my cart when I get home. Set is still solid, though. :)
it was speed not spd and run a jolly nature can be used for extra power or a speed nature to outspeed more i copy and pasted it though thats why didn't change every thing copied it for the format because i didn't feel like typing it allWhy run a + SpDef nature on a sweeping set?

I think "SpDef" is usually used as an abbreviation for Special Defense. I think "Spe" is common for speed.it was speed not spd and run a jolly nature can be used for extra power or a speed nature to outspeed more i copy and pasted it though thats why didn't change every thing copied it for the format because i didn't feel like typing it all
i used spe for speedin it thoughI think "SpDef" is usually used as an abbreviation for Special Defense. I think "Spe" is common for speed.
All good man, I love a-golem alot. That banded explosion takes no prisoners. loli used spe for speedin it though
it was the nature that was goofed up
That makes sense. The item I was running was Shell Bell (dunno how I got it mixed up with Assault Vest), but I might consider the switch to Life Orb.you can run like life orb or leftovers on it
it really doesn't im gonna lead with him when i get the game and partner with something like tapu koko and exlosion can only get better.All good man, I love a-golem alot. That banded explosion takes no prisoners. lol
mudsdale is a lackluster mon that has no recovery beside rest nobody should really use such a bad mon who is gonna be in nu or ru eventually and anyway i can use my pyukumuku, stall toxic it to death and recover till he diesand then get countered by mudsdale
Gotta agree with legend here. Mudsdale has a great ability but a terrible movepool. The damn horse doesn't even get Stone Edge. GF literally beat that dead horse lol.mudsdale is a lackluster mon that has no recovery beside rest nobody should really use such a bad mon who is gonna be in nu or ru eventually and anyway i can use my pyukumuku, stall toxic it to death and recover till he dies
Not the best idea to use Wild Charge, it breaks Sturdy if you use it at full HP and can cost you an otherwise necessary nuke with explosion. Thunder Punch is probably the better option since it lacks recoil.Golem is a pretty solid suicide lead with Sturdy and ability to beat most spinners/defoggers with its rock / elec coverage

It's not the best lead, but its one of the only rockers in pre bank. You want to have max hp so that in case you dont get hit, you dont take as much recoil from wild charge, but 0 ivs in def and spdef are there to put you in custap range. [i heard custap is not in pre bank, but ive been using this set in there lol]
