Explanation of Set
Normally, Golurk wouldn't be able to pull of a sweep with its terrible Speed stat and the abundance of fast revenge killers. However, it can surprise the opponent with Rock Polish and go for a sweep late-game. Dynamic Punch is there to spread confusion as well as hitting alot of things realy hard.
Stone Edge takes down Flying-types such as Braviary, which could otherwise switch in freely on Dynamic Punch. Shadow Punch decimates Pokemon such as Rotom and Mesprit, while Earthquake takes care of most Pokemon not immune or resistant to it. Golurk's immunity to many moves, most notably Thunder Wave, Volt Switch, and Mach Punch, means that many conventional ways to stop setup sweepers, such as Choice Scarf-holding Manectric and Rotom, will not be effective against Golurk.
