Assault Vest or Choice Band?
Also, any advice on how to take advantage of his ability?
Assault vest. And spam priority. First impression, aqua jet, and sucker punch.

I prefer assault vest so I don't get insta-swtiched whenever someone uses a special attack on me

You can't, it's entirely unreliable. The opponent may do more damage than expected, or get a crit, or something. You might get lucky and benefit, but for the most part it's not ideal. If they made it like Wishiwashi so that you switched after you attacked, it'd be much better.
I wouldn't go for assault vest though. Most people do that with first impression, but I don't even think first impression is good because it's FUCKING BUG TYPE

AV
Brave 252 Atk, 252 HP
Or Adamant 252 Atk, 252 Speed to out speed some Marowak and other Slow mons
Liquidation
First Impression
Sucker Punch
Leech Life or Aqua Jet or Coverage
Make sure to keep hazards clear and it works damn good
Assault Vest Rain Dance
Assault vest and priority moves
That way getting forced to switch out is basically the equivalent of volt switching

If you have a problem with bug type you shouldn't be using Golisopod anyway.
Life Orb, so you get the most damage out of your mostly weak priority attacks as possible. If you get brought below 50% with LO recoil, EE will activate and will essentially act as a fast U-Turn.

The best way to take advantage of its ability is to weaken an opposing pokémon and then switch to something that benefits from killing a mon like the UBs, Battle Bond Greninja or Magearna.
What's a good ball that matches his color
First Impression is strong, but you don't Choice a pokemon with Fake Out.
Assault Vest for normal use, Life Orb to be super risky (run Leech Life), or King's Rock to fish super deep for value.

I like net for normal. Premier is too perfect for shiny.
>>31003364
Life Orb with:
-First Impression
-Sucker Punch
-Leech Life
-Liquidation/Aqua Jet(only with rain support)
or
Max special def and HP w/Leftovers
-Swords Dance
-Leech Life
-Sucker Punch
-Aqua Jet/Liquidation
Why people suggest Sucker Punch on a Assvest set anyway? It has no STAB and got nerfed this gen. Its better off running the move if it's either LO or running SD
>>31003887
Either Heavy or Net Ball.
>>31003444
Youre always gonna switch after you attack, you have 3 fucking priority moves
>>31003444
Have a toxapex with regenerator to take advantage of it's ability
>>31004074
Or any choice user.

Just make a full team of them and pump everything into speed and attack.

Assault Vest
I use his ability as a way to weaken enemies until emergency exit, then I finish them off with a fast sweeper
Got to 43 in battle tree super singles before making a personal error and losing, but my strat is leading with Golisopod, do as much damage as possible until emergency exit, then finish off my opponent with someone else
Against real opponents that have counters to this thing (Tapu Lele for example) i'm not sure how good it is
Is it worth spending EVs in speed to outspeed Chansey?
