[SET COMMENTS]
Gholdengo is a good wallbreaker and glue for offense and hyper offense teams thanks to its access to Nasty Plot, its ability, Good as Gold, and its typing, which blocks entry hazard removal from Terapagos and Tornadus-T while also having useful resistances to threats such as Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant. Nasty Plot allows Gholdengo to OHKO Pokemon such as Heatran and Tapu Koko at +2. Make It Rain is a powerful STAB move that can allow a boosted Gholdengo to take down Pokemon that Shadow Ball can't, such as Gliscor, offensive Garchomp, and Landorus-T, OHKOing all of them after a boost. Recover can be slotted over Make It Rain in order to increase Gholdengo’s longevity, allowing it to check threats like Iron Valiant and Tapu Lele for longer. Focus Blast is a move that complements Gholdengo’s Ghost-type STAB moves, punching holes into would-be switch-ins like Kingambit, Ting-Lu, and Heatran. Air Balloon allows Gholdengo to spinblock and threaten Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Terapagos lacking Flamethrower. Ghostium-Z is a powerful option, and when used in tandem with Nasty Plot, it allows Gholdengo to OHKO specially defensive Garchomp, Moltres, and Toxapex while also OHKOing the previously mentioned Heatran without relying on the shaky accuracy of Focus Blast. Fightinium-Z is another option that allows Gholdengo to bypass Focus Blast’s limited accuracy, notably OHKOing Ting-Lu and Assault Vest Melmetal after a boost.

Gholdengo acts as a valuable asset for most offensive team structures with its ability to deny hazard control while also having incredible wallbreaking potential. Pokemon such as Glimmora, Ting-Lu, and Hisuian Samurott benefit from Gholdengo’s ability to keep hazards up. Additionally, the latter two enjoy Gholdengo’s unique typing, which can help blanket check Fairy- and Fighting-type foes such as Tapu Lele and Mega Medicham. Other Pokemon that enjoy Gholdengo’s wallbreaking capabilities include Raging Bolt and Urshifu-R, as they benefit immensely from Gholdengo removing and overwhelming checks like Ferrothorn and Slowbro. Gholdengo fears Pokemon such as Kingambit and Hisuian Samurott; (ASC) therefore, Pokemon that can reliably deal with these Dark-types, such as Great Tusk and Zamazenta, (AC) are greatly appreciated. Having Pokemon immune to Ground-type attacks is helpful against threats such as Great Tusk and Garchomp, even if Gholdengo is holding an Air Balloon. As such, Pokemon like Landorus-T, Zapdos, and Moltres are outstanding partners. Moltres is an especially great teammate due to its ability to check the fearsome Fire-types in the metagame that Gholdengo struggles against, like Mega Charizard Y and Volcarona.

Back from banned jail, our very own Mr. Strings is here to slay, being an amazing wallbreaker for any offense team and wrecking bulkier teams with its broken ability and useful typing. Gholdengo is a good wallbreaker and glue for offense and hyper offense teams thanks to Nasty Plot, its ability and typing blocking entry hazard removal from Terapagos and Tornadus-T, and its useful resistances to threats such as Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant. This kind of vague, creative writing isn’t allowed in analyses; be more specific and formal. Shadow Ball is Gholdengo’s main clickable STAB button that can severely dent Pokemon such as Slowking-Galar, Iron Valiant, and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike. you don’t need to explain stab Focus Blast is a move that compliment’s Gholdengo’s ghost stab, to allow Gholdengo to become nigh unwallable, punching holes into would be switch in’s, like Kingambit, Ferrothorn Ting-Lu Ferro wants nothing to do with Ghold at all, and Heatran, obliterating the former, if lacking Assault Vest, while clean 2HKOing Heatran with Stealth Rock rocks chip, and Ferrothorn without, if it hits. Gholdengo’s signature steel stab, Make It Rain, is a high bp move that absolutely nails the pokemon that would otherwise eat a Shadow Ball or Focus Blast such as Gliscor, Landorus-Therian, and utility Tornadus-Therian, all of which are dispatched after a boost. Same as above Recover can be slotted over Make It Rain in order to increase Gholdengo’s longevity, and combined with its ability and excellent bulk, makes Gholdengo very difficult to remove over time. Nasty Plot is essential to allow gholdengo to boost its already silly SpAtk high Special Attack to even greater heights, allowing it to OHKO any aforementioned pokemon it 2HKOd with a boost be more specific; what pokemon does it actually help do this with?. Air Balloon is used on teams that appreciate Gholdengo’s ability to block nearly all forms of hazard control, as it allows Gholdengo to spin block and threaten out Great Tusk, while also spin blocking Iron Treads and Terapagos in a pinch. Ghostium-Z is an absolute nuke, and in tandem with Nasty Plot, allows gholdengo to OHKO bulky Scizor-Mega, Assault Vest Iron Crown specially defensive Garchomp, and Alomomola Toxapex, The mons you mentioned don’t really threaten Ghold much, I like the pex example more since it can haze and scald burn you while also OHKOing the previously mentioned Heatran and Ferro, without relying on the shaky accuracy of Focus Blast. Fightinium-Z is another option that allows Gholdengo to bypass accuracy while having increased damage, notably OHKOing Blissey, Ting-Lu, and Assault Vest Melmetal after a boost. Both Z-moves allow Gholdengo to hit Kommo-o, which otherwise walls Gholdengos lacking make it rain, as its Bulletproof ability shuts down Gholdengo’s main attacks. Kommo o is not worth an entire section A Timid nature with max speed allows Gholdengo outspeed Dragonite and Timid Raging Bolt, as well as speed tie with opposing offensive Gholdengos, and the rest is dumped into SpA, in order to maximize damage output. u don’t need to explain max max evs

Gholdengo acts as a glue for most offensive team structures, as it can force progress with its ability to deny hazard control, while also having incredible wallbreaking potential. Pokemon such as Glimmora, Ting Lu, and Samurott-Hisui benefit from gGholdengo’s hazard keeping abilities, and the latter two enjoys Gholdengo’s unique typing, which can help blanket checks like Fairy and Fighting foes such as Tapu Lele and Mega Medicham-Mega. Other Pokemon that enjoy Gholdengo’s wallbreaking capabilities include Raging Bolt and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, as they benefit immensely from Gholdengo removing/crippling and overwhelming checks like Ting Lu and Slowbro. Gholdengo fears pokemon such as Kingambit and Samurott-Hisui, which can revenge it easily. Therefore, pokemon that can deal with these dDark-types are greatly appreciated, such as Great Tusk and Zamazenta. Knock absorbers like Gliscor and Tyranitar-Mega both have great synergy with gholdengo, taking on the intense amount of Knock Off in the tier. Dont think this is necessary as you mentioned the dark types that threatened Ghold with knock anyway, and a lot of stabless knock offs will bounce off of z ghold Having ground immune Pokemon immune to Ground-type attacks to help against Gholdengo’s ground weakness threats such as Great Tusk and Garchomp is very helpful appreciated, even if Gholdengo is donning an Air Balloon., and as such Pokemon such as Landorus-Therian, Zapdos, and Moltres are outstanding partners. Moltres is an especially great teammate due to its ability to check the fearsome Fire-types in the tier that Gholdengo struggles against, like Charizard-Mega-Y and Volcarona.

Focus Blast is a move that compliment’s Gholdengo’s ghost stab, to allow Gholdengo to become nigh unwallable, punching holes into would be switch in’s, like Kingambit, Ting-Lu, and Heatran, obliterating the former, if lacking Assault Vest, while clean 2HKOing Heatran with Stealth Rock chip latter calc doesn’t matter and av gambit has a chance of getting ohkod still. Recover can be slotted over Make It Rain in order to increase Gholdengo’s longevity, and combined with its ability and excellent bulk, makes Gholdengo very difficult to remove over time just mention that it helps Ghold check certain things like lele longer.

Nasty Plot allows Gholdengo to boost its already immense Special Attack to even greater heights little fluffy but ill leave it, would be nice if you could reword to imply how higher spa -> more threatening, allowing it to OHKO Pokemon such as Heatran and Tapu Koko. Recover can be slotted over Make It Rain in order to increase Gholdengo’s longevity and allowing it to check threats like Iron Valiant and Tapu Lele longer can talk about the benefits of mir so its not a one sided comparison, like hitting what mons specifically? (even tho its STAB). Focus Blast is a move that compliment’s Gholdengo’s ghost stab, punching holes into would be switch in’s, like Kingambit, Ting-Lu, and Heatran. Air Balloon allows Gholdengo to spin block and threaten out Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Terapagos lacking Flamethrower in a pinch. Ghostium-Z is an absolute nuke im sure GP wont mind if i at least let you have SOME fun in writing.. right..., and in tandem with Nasty Plot, allows gholdengo to OHKO specially defensive Garchomp, Moltres, and Toxapex, while also OHKOing the previously mentioned Heatran, without relying on the shaky accuracy of Focus Blast. Fightinium-Z is another option that allows Gholdengo to bypass Focus Blast’s accuracy while having increased damage, notably OHKOing Ting-Lu and Assault Vest Melmetal after a boost.

Gholdengo acts as a glue <= you used this word before for most offensive team structures with its ability to deny hazard control, while also having incredible wallbreaking potential.

Gholdengo fears Pokemon such as Kingambit and Samurott-Hisui. Therefore, Pokemon that can reliably ghold has a shaky 50/50 relationship with those darks deal with these Dark-types are greatly appreciated, such as Great Tusk and Zamazenta. Having Pokemon immune to Ground-type attacks to help against threats such as Great Tusk and Garchomp is very appreciated, even if Gholdengo is donning an Air Balloon, and as such, Pokemon such as Landorus-Therian, Zapdos, and Moltres are outstanding partners.
