He's cool, but pretty much outclassed by every other Rock-type not named Sudowoodo or Nosepass. :'(

Trait, Golem, Arena Trap (I know you don't particularly like giving things Trapping moves, but you left Dugtrio with Arena Trap IIRC, and Golem isn't as efficient as Dugtrio is at trapping)
Move, Golem, Calm Mind (I'm sure if his lower forms don't get angry at being trodden on, he is calm as well. Also, it almost allows him to take Special Hits and, possibly, use Fire Blast.)
Move, Golem, Knock Off
Move, Golem, Ice Ball (More of a novelty than anything, but it MIGHT let it almost fight other Grounds? xD)
Move, Golem, Skull Bash (If it doesn't get it. It really suits.)
Move, Golem, Ingrain
Move, Golem, Arm Thrust
Move, Golem, Bulk Up/Swords Dance/Belly Drum
Move, Golem, Reversal/Flail (Sure he's slow, but Sandstorm resistance is still cool)
Move, Golem, Refresh (So he isn't completely owned by Burns)
Move, Golem, Hypnosis/Lovely Kiss/Sing (Him getting a Sleep move would be quite cool IMO.)
Move, Golem, Thunder Wave
Move, Golem, Teeter Dance

I already brought up the idea of Arena Trap Golem. AA shot it down saying he wanted to keep trapping traits unique, which I can agree with.

Read something more interesting.

TWave would be good, making him an Aggron with way better typing but less defenses. Maybe Bulk Up, but I'd use Swords Dance so it actually can compete with other physical sweepers.

I don't think you guys are showing much metagame understanding. Golem is a more defensive Rhydon who can explode. He doesn't need help.

Except rhydon's hp makes it have better defenses overall (physical and special) than golem and rhydon gets SD, Megahorn, etc.

Actually, it's pretty close since Rhydon's extra 25 base HP has to deal with Golem's extra 10 defense and 20 special defense, and kaboom matters a lot. Also, Golem got love in the mods with Rapid Spin, Iron Defense, and Mirror Coat(which does work on things like Ice Beam by the way, and it will get kills). I mean:

Move, Rhydon, Torment

Move, Golem, Iron Defense
Move, Golem, Sand Tomb
Move, Golem, Mirror Coat
Move, Golem, Rapid Spin

I think the winner's clear here.

Yes, I think golem could still use a little help, but you are right about it not being outclassed by rhydon, if only because of explosion and rapid spin.

I can't imagine a situation where I'd use Golem over Rhydon. If I wanted a bad Rhydon that could explode, I'd use Relicanth.

Golem deserves Slack Off. He does nothing but chill out unless he falls over and rolls down a hill.

Sand Stream Golem is also hot.
