Is Sucker Punch or Leech Life better on Golisopod in USUM for battling other players?

Question

The moveset I have right now for my Golisopod is…

• First Impression
• Aqua jet
• Liquidation
• Sucker punch

And I was wondering if I should replace Sucker Punch with Leech Life.

What game are you asking about? What do you want to do with this Golisopod? Do you want to battle other people, in-game trainers, or something else?

Probably leech life, you already have two priority moves, both being stab.

Answer 1

Okay so, here we go:
Type of Move: Both Physical, which Golisopod is excellent in.
BP: Leech life with 80, plus it's STAB(Same Type Added Bonus), which adds 50%
Accuracy: Tied
PP: Leech Life with 10
Sucker Punch does have Priority though, which is helpful with his low speed.

Special Effects: Leech Life wins, as Sucker Punch's Effect is actually bad, and Leech Life heals, which can be helpful to counteract it's bad ability Emergency Exit, plus if it's holding a big root, the health regen can be boosted, the only downside is with Liquid Ooze Pokemon, Tentacool and Tentacruel(Gulpin Line's not in Gen 7).

Typing effectiveness in general: Sucker Punch

So, when you add all this together, combined with the fact that there's still 3 other slots and plenty of Dark moves that it can learn through TM or Tutor, I'd go with Leech Life.

Source: A lot of cross referencing between the Type Chart, and the two Moves.
