Hisuian Goodra carves out a niche as a special tank with its gargantuan Special Defense augmented by Assault Vest, letting it beat foes like Darkrai, Raging Bolt and Iron Moth one-on-one. Flamethrower allows Hisuian Goodra to dissuade Steel-types like Gholdengo, Iron Crown, and Kingambit from switching in whereas Ice Beam lets it deal heavy damage to Flying-types like Zapdos and Enamorus while also doing well against Ground-types like Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and particularly specially defensive Gliscor, which would otherwise wall it. However, Knock Off can be used over one of these coverage moves, as it allows Hisuian Goodra to force progress against foes like Galarian Slowking, Moltres, and Garganacl, making them vulnerable to chip damage from entry hazards by removing either their Heavy-Duty Boots or their passive recovery in Leftovers. It's also worth noting that potential Knock Off absorbers like Gliscor and Clefable struggle to take any of Hisuian Goodra's attacks. Sap Sipper is the preferred ability, as it makes Hisuian Goodra immune to Grass-type attacks from Ogerpon-W, Meowscarada, and Rillaboom, allowing it to serve as a more solid check to these foes before and after Terastallizing. On the other hand, Gooey punishes contact moves like Hisuian Samurott's Ceaseless Edge and Weavile's Knock Off by lowering the attacker's speed, giving Hisuian Goodra more chances at dealing damage back and opening up teammates to potentially revenge kill these foes. Tera Fairy gives a key resistance to Fighting-type attacks and an immunity to Dragon-type moves, which lets it beat Iron Valiant, Zamazenta, Raging Bolt, and Dragapult.

Hisuian Goodra primarily fits on balance teams where its defensive and offensive shortcomings are alleviated. Teammates like Landorus-T, Zapdos, and Alomomola can safety pivot Hisuian Goodra so it can force out opponents like Darkrai and Gholdengo. Additionally, Alomomola is an amazing partner thanks to the Wish support it can provide; in exchange, Hisuian Goodra deals with Ogerpon-W. Landorus-T complements Hisuian Goodra's Knock Off with Stealth Rock, while Zapdos provides Thunder Wave. However, both check physical foes like Zamazenta, Kingambit, and Roaring Moon. Hisuian Goodra often has problems with longevity, as entry hazards can slowly chip it down to low enough health to be taken out. For this reason, Great Tusk and Cinderace are great teammates, since they offer hazard control through Rapid Spin and Court Change, respectively. On top of that, the former appreciates Hisuian Goodra taking hits from spinblockers like Gholdengo and Dragapult, while the latter can pivot Hisuian Goodra in with U-turn or use Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical threats like Great Tusk and Dragonite for it. Ting-Lu and Gliscor can support Hisuian Goodra through setting hazards, letting it use Knock Off more effectively. In return, both appreciate the defensive fallback Hisuian Goodra provides against Ogerpon-W, Hatterene, and Darkrai. Physical attackers like Zamazenta and Dragonite enjoy Hisuian Goodra taking care of key foes such as Fairy-types like Enamorus and Clefable for the former and Ghost-types like Gholdengo and Dragapult for the latter.

Hisuian Goodra carves out a niche as a special tank with its gargantuan special defense augmented by the Assault Vest, letting it 1v1 foes like Darkrai, Primarina, and Iron Moth mentioning a reason or two hoodra is a particularly good av user compared to the average mon would be nice but not required idt. Flamethrower allows it to dissuade Steel-types like Gholdengo, Iron Crown, and Corviknight from switching in gambit is scarier than these mons so mention that, while Ice Beam lets it deal heavy damage to Ground-Types like Great Tusk, Gliscor, and Landorus-Therian, as well as Flying-Types like Zapdos and Enamorus. Knock Off can be used over one of these coverage moves however, as it allows Hisuian Goodra to force progress onto foes like Slowking-Galar, Moltres, and Garganacl, weakening them to hazard chip through a long duration knock is also just good vs pretty much anything and gliscor doesnt want to take dracos.. Sap Sipper is the preferred ability, as it is able to absorb Grass-Type attacks from Rillaboom, Meowscarada, and Ogerpon-Wellspring, providing a more solid check to these foes mention that while going from a 4x resist to an immunity doesn't matter much, it synergizes well with Tera.. Gooey on the other hand punishes contact moves like Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave or Iron Head by lowering their speed, Giving Hisuian Goodra more chances at dealing damage back I'd mention that even mons that goodra will not outspeed, slowing them down opens up more mons to revenge killing them. Tera Fairy is the preferred option, as it gives key resistances to Fighting-Types, letting it beat Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, while also having a Dragon-Type immunity towards Raging Bolt and Dragapult.

Hisuian Goodra primarily is on balance teams, where its defensive and offensive shortcomings are alleviated. Teammates like Landorus-Therian, Zapdos, and Alomomola can safety pivot Hisuian Goodra in to force opponents out like Darkrai and Primarina, with Alomomola being an amazing partner with Wish support mention that hoodra checks all (good) ogerpon sets. Hisuian Goodra often has problems with longevity, as its weakness to hazards can slowly chip it down to low enough health to be taken out. Great Tusk and Cinderace are great teammates for this reason, as they offer hazard control through Rapid Spin or Court Change respectfully, with the former appreciating Hisuian Goodra taking hits from potential spin blockers like Gholdengo or Dragapult, while Cinderace can pivot Hisuian Goodra in with U-turn or use Will-O-Wisp for physical attackers like Great Tusk or Dragonite. Ting-Lu and Gliscor can also support Hisuian Goodra through hazard setting with Spikes or Stealth Rock, letting Hisuian Goodra use Knock Off more effectively.

Hisuian Goodra carves out a niche as a special tank with its gargantuan special defense augmented by the Assault Vest, letting it 1v1 foes like Darkrai, Primarina, maybe you could mention another mon over Primarina, since even Offensive CM sets can more or less setup on you while AV sets will outright win if they give you a single (and very likely) SpA drop from Moonblast, while in the best case scenario, your Goodra ends up with less than 20% health, I feel like Raging Bolt is a better mention here for instance and Iron Moth. Flamethrower allows it to dissuade Steel-types like Gholdengo, Iron Crown, and Kingambit from switching in, while Ice Beam lets it deal heavy damage to Ground-Types like Great Tusk, Gliscor, and Landorus-Therian, as well as Flying-Types like Zapdos and Enamorus You can make emphasis on it allowing you to 1v1 SpDef Gliscor since Draco Meteor already hits Lando-T and Tusk hard, while Gliscor will tank it and wall you after the SpA drop. Knock Off can be used over one of these coverage moves however, as it allows Hisuian Goodra to force progress onto foes like Slowking-Galar, Moltres, and Garganacl, weakening them to hazard chip through a long duration making them vulnerable to chip damage from hazards by removing their Heavy-Duty Boots or negating their passive recovery through Leftovers. (the sentence sounded strange, just changed it a bit, also made it clearer how exactly they'd become vulnerable to chip, especially in Garg's case since Leftovers is by far its most common item) It's also worth noting that potential Knock Off absorbers like Gliscor and Clefable struggle to take any of Hisuian Goodra's attacks. Sap Sipper is the preferred ability, as it is able to absorb Grass-Type attacks from Rillaboom, Meowscarada, and Ogerpon-Wellspring, (maybe mention Ogerpon-W first since it's more relevant than the first two) providing a more solid check to these foes before and after terastilizing terastallizing. Gooey on the other hand punishes contact moves like Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave or Iron Head by lowering their speed, giving Hisuian Goodra more chances at dealing damage back, and opening up teammates for potential revenge killing. (Kingambit isn't exactly the hardest Pokémon to revenge kill since its already so slow, maybe you could mention something like Hisuian Samurott, Weavile or Roaring Moon (if it's not carrying EQ/you have tera'd) Tera Fairy is the preferred option, as it gives key resistances to Fighting-Types, letting it beat Iron Valiant and Zamazenta, while also having a Dragon-Type immunity towards Raging Bolt and Dragapult.

Hisuian Goodra primarily is on balance teams, where its defensive and offensive shortcomings are alleviated. Teammates like Landorus-Therian, Zapdos, and Alomomola can safety pivot Hisuian Goodra in to force opponents out like Darkrai and Primarina, (same as my comment about Primarina before, maybe mention Gholdengo instead?) with Alomomola being an amazing partner with Wish support, in exchange for Hisuian Goodra being able to deal with Ogerpon-Wellspring. (You can also mention that Landorus-T can support you with Stealth Rock, specially if you're running Knock Off, as well as being a switch-in to stuff that can beat or heavily damage H-Goodra like Zamazenta (unless Tera), Roaring Moon and Kingambit, Zapdos can also switch into Zamazenta as well as Great Tusk and opposing Lando-T) Hisuian Goodra often has problems with longevity, as its weakness to hazards can slowly chip it down to low enough health to be taken out. Great Tusk and Cinderace are great teammates for this reason, as they offer hazard control through Rapid Spin or Court Change respectfully respectively, with the former appreciating Hisuian Goodra taking hits from potential spin blockers like Gholdengo or Dragapult, while the latter can pivot Hisuian Goodra in with U-turn or use Will-O-Wisp for physical attackers like Great Tusk or Dragonite. Ting-Lu and Gliscor can also support Hisuian Goodra through hazard setting with Spikes or Stealth Rock, letting Hisuian Goodra use Knock Off more effectively. (Anything Hisuian Goodra does for them in exchange? You can mention that H-Goodra can tank many of the dangerous special attacks that Gliscor usually can't for instance or how H-Goodra can beat troublesome opponents like Hatterene, Ogerpon-W and Clefable for Ting-Lu, you could probably also write about offensive partners for H-Goodra, since it's also run along offensive threats on balance teams, for example, it pairing well with Zamazenta since it beats fairies such as Clefable and Hatterene that really annoy it, Dragonite is another good example since it also favors Hisuian Goodra being capable of answering Dragapult and Gholdengo)
