Earthquake Rock Slide Body Slam Explosion
He's slow and has major weaknesses but Golem's STAB EQ will 2HKO or 3HKO almost everything in the game. The only OU Pokemon who will survive 3 EQs on average are Slowbro, Snorlax, Exeggutor (obvious) and Lapras.
Because Golem is so slow you'll have to be careful when using it. It's main use is an exploder and to scare Pokemon away with the thought of it using Explosion. Golem's immunity to electric attacks is nice too, allowing it to counter Zapdos and switch into paralyzed Chansey Thunderbolts. Resistance to normal also lets it switch into Hyper Beams and then kill off the user as it recharges, or at least hurt/paralyze it.
Having the most powerful Explosion user in the game is always nice, and while it has 4x weaknesses to water and grass, grass attacks are almost never used and you won't see STAB Surf too much in OU. It's also weak to ground but Golem kills Rhydon 1-on-1 and can take non-STAB EQs pretty well.
