Solrock @ Heat Rock
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Sunny Day
- Will-O-Wisp
- Stealth Rock
- Explosion

Solrock faces competition from onix as a SR+sun-setter and while onix has access to taunt+sturdy Solrock has a great ability in Levitate a great move in Will-o-Wisp and a stronger Explosion (Solrocks Explosion puts Piloswine in range of Timid Eviolite Weepinbels Solar Beam).

Adamant Nature

Favorite sun setter in PU at the moment, just started using weather and this pokemon has been putting in work. Has sturdy so you can get the sun while still being alive than get damage with sucker punch or get stealth rocks.

It's an alright sun setter, but I don't see the merit of running a bulky set on Golem if its job is just to set sun and rocks. Max speed and attack with a Jolly nature and Explosion over Sucker Punch is much better so you aren't wasting sun turns after getting up sun and rocks.
