shadow punch sadly shadow punch won't get the iron fist boost but its their if you wanna use it but anyway this set it to get fast and annoying confusing foes

Ability Iron first Nature Brave
- Hammer Arm
- Earthquake
- Gyro Ball
- Shadow Punch This can be a fun set i haven't used very much but I've seen it in WiFi matches and it seems to do great the idea is to hammer arm lowering your speed then gyro ball sweeping

- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball again probably wont be used on WiFi but its still fun to use

Opinion:Golurk is the best psychical ghost type by far(mainly cause the other one is banette)
with good bulk great attack and useful ability's
Other options:A scarf set would be neat but rock polish is all around better telekinesis with dynamic punch and iron fist can be used the thing is golurk doesn't have a amazing move pool which hinders him
What could of been: Golurk would be great with the elemental punches with iron fist boosted or a stronger psychical ghost stab
