Analysis

Golisopod is an interesting Pokemon in Pokemon Go, with a decent ATK stat that sets it not too far behind Scizor in terms of offensive performance. Unfortunately Bug typing is not very valuable, making this Pokemon mostly a Dex entry at this point. Probably the most notable aspect about Golisopod in Pokemon Go is its incredible Candy requirement to evolve from Wimpod.

Offense

Best

Best

Fury Cutter benefits from STAB and pairs with X-Scissor to fulfill a Bug-type attacker role.
Waterfall is a strong Water-type move, and synergizes with Razor Shell to fulfill a Water attacker role
Liquidation and especially Aqua Jet fall behind.
Shadow Claw is a good move for Ghost-type Pokemon, not Golisopod.
Metal Claw should be TM'd away.
Aerial Ace doesn't have any significant use.

Defense

Best

Waterfall is the best Fast Move for defense due to its high base power and damage against Rock-type attackers.
Metal Claw has half the base power and lacks STAB, making it a major downgrade.
Shadow Claw doesn't do much better, but is less likely to be resisted by attackers.
Fury Cutter is very poor for defense.
Liquidation is useful on defense against Rock-type attackers.
Razor Shell is weaker, but harder to dodge.
Aqua Jet is basically a worse Razor Shell.
X-Scissor is ok with STAB, and relatively difficult to dodge.
Aerial Ace has a niche against players who don't like switching out their Fighting-type attackers.
