Thanks to its ability Good as Gold and excellent defensive typing that lets it set up on Pokemon like Enamorus and Clefable, Nasty Plot Gholdengo is a premier wallbreaker in SV OU. While Recover gives Gholdengo a way to stay in the battle for longer, it also has a range of coverage moves to give it more options for wallbreaking. Psyshock is useful for breaking through special walls that would otherwise give Gholdengo trouble, like Blissey and Clodsire, and Focus Blast hits the many Dark-types in the tier, such as Darkrai, Roaring Moon, and Kingambit. Recover is generally used on bulkier teams, whereas Psyshock and Focus Blast are more useful for teams leaning towards offense. Gholdengo can make great use of a wide variety of Tera types, both for offensive and defensive purposes. Tera Fairy or Fighting gives it a sudden resistance to Dark, potentially mitigating the damage from moves like Knock Off and Crunch from Great Tusk and Zamazenta, respectively. Tera Fairy gives it an additional Dragon immunity, whereas Tera Fighting gives Focus Blast an additional STAB boost. Tera Steel can give an additional boost to Make It Rain, as well as lessening the damage of Dark- and Ghost-type attacks from Pokemon like Dragapult.

Thanks to Good as Gold, any team can make great use of Gholdengo’s ability to spinblock and prevent Defog, but an offensive team would make the best use of its wallbreaking power. Offensive hazard-stacking cores featuring Pokemon such as Glimmora, Ting Lu, Skarmory, and Deoxys-S can use Gholdengo’s help to keep the pressure on. Powerful Pokemon that abuse the switches that Gholdengo forces, like Weavile and Meowscarada with Spikes, as well as other Nasty Plot wallbreakers like Darkrai provide support for Gholdengo to whittle down defensive cores. In addition, other special attackers that have access to utility tools like Knock Off to cripple their shared walls and Pokemon that would otherwise absorb Knock Off, such as Gliscor, Skarmory, Corviknight and Clefable, Darkrai, and Iron Valiant, well with Gholdengo's ability to block all hazard removal. Without using Tera, Gholdengo struggles against the Dark-types that are so common in the tier, such as Kingambit, Roaring Moon and Samurott-Hisui. Having teammates resistant to Dark type attacks, like Zamazenta and Enamorus, gives Gholdengo some extra protection and a way to strike back against them. Even if you're using Air Balloon, having another Ground-immune Pokemon, such as Gliscor or Tornadus-T, is extremely helpful to mitigate that weakness. Gholdengo’s Speed tier is still slightly lacking when compared to the rest of the OU tier, leaving it vulnerable to fast threats such as Dragapult, Walking Wake, and Weavile. Having some speed control on the team such as Choice Scarf Enamorous or Meowscarada, or priority moves like Ice Shard Weavile and Thunderclap Raging Bolt to counteract these threats is extremely valuable.

Gholdengo has been a premier wallbreaker since the start of SV OU, and its ability to fire off powerful STAB Make It Rains is still a force to be reckoned with. remove references to past sv ou metas Combined with the ability to boost up with Nasty Plot, its ability Good as Gold blocking status moves, and its Ghost/Steel Typing allowing it to block Rapid Spin, add on how gholdengos excellent defensive typing gives it setup opportunities on pokemon it checks its an extremely useful swiss army knife to have on any team. While Recover gives Gholdengo a way to stay in the battle longer, it also has a range of coverage moves to give it more options for breaking. mention playstyles that slashed moves are more common on Psyshock is useful for breaking through Special walls that would otherwise give Gholdengo trouble, like Blissey and Clodsire, and Focus Blast gives it a 70% chance to hit the many Dark-types in the tier, such as Darkrai, Roaring Moon, and Kingambit before Tera. Maximum Speed EVs and a Timid nature allows it to outspeed and hit Pokemon like Kyurem, Dragonite and uninvested Great Tusk, and 252 Special Attack EVs allow that hit to do as much damage as possible. 252/252 spreads don't need to be explained Gholdengo can make great use of a wide variety of Tera types, both for offensive and defensive purposes. Fairy or Fighting Tera Types give it a sudden resistance to Dark, potentially mitigating the damage from moves like Knock Off or Crunch, give specific relevant users of moves such as knock off, and the pros and cons of running fairy vs running fighting and Steel Tera Type can give an additional boost to Make It Rain. add defensive benefits from shedding gholdengos ghost type, even if tera steel isn't a great defensive tera

Thanks to Good as Gold, any team can make great use of Gholdengo’s ability to spinblock and prevent Defog, but an offensive team would make the best use of its wallbreaking power. Offensive hazard stacking cores, featuring Pokemon such as Glimmora or Ting Lu, can use Gholdengo’s help to keep the pressure on. more hazard setters should be used than glimmora and ting lu pokemon that are more focused on physically Attacking, such as Gouging Fire or Roaring Moon, synergize with the Specially focused Gholdengo, allowing them to damage each other’s opposing walls. while they can break each others walls, that isn't enough to make a good offensive core if the opponent swaps out. pokemon that have similar walls to gholdengo and can cripple them through tools such as knock off, especially with good as gold keeping hazards up, would be more effective at breaking through walls. With Air Balloon, Gholdengo gains a Ground immunity, allowing it to protect teammates like Raging Bolt and Kingambit from Ground Type attacks from opponents like Great Tusk. gholdengo isnt an answer to great tusk, offensive great tusk outspeeds and kos with knock off and headlong rush. Without using Tera, Gholdengo struggles against the Dark types that are so common in the tier, such as Kingambit, Roaring Moon and Samurott-Hisui. Having teammates resistant to Dark type attacks, like Zamazenta-Hero or Enamorus, gives Gholdengo some extra protection and a way to strike back against them. If you're not using Air Balloon, having another Ground immune Pokemon, such as Gliscor or Tornadus-Therian, is extremely helpful to mitigate that weakness. air balloon gholdengo isn't a good standalone ground immunity, with how vital ground immunities are gholdengos one time nature isn't enough Gholdengo’s speed tier, even with Timid, set only has timid listed is still slightly lacking when compared to the rest of the OU tier, leaving it vulnerable to fast threats such as Dragapult, Walking Wake and Iron Moth. add a different example than Iron Moth because it's UU Having some speed control on the team to counteract these threats is extremely valuable, such as Choice Scarf Enamorous or Meowscarada, or priority moves like Ice Shard Weavile and Thunderclap Raging Bolt. knock off users that can beat knock off absorbers (gliscor, steel birds, clefable) can also be mentioned in this paragraph

Recover is generally used on bulkier teams, Psyshock on more balanced teams, and Focus Blast for teams leaning towards hyper offense. psyshock and focus blast are both fine options on the same teamstyles Gholdengo can make great use of a wide variety of Tera types, both for offensive and defensive purposes. Fairy or Fighting Tera Types give it a sudden resistance to Dark, potentially mitigating the damage from moves like Knock Off or Crunch from Great Tusk or Zamazenta-Hero.

Pokemon that are more focused on physically Attacking, such as Gouging Fire or Roaring Moon, synergize with the Specially focused Gholdengo, allowing them to damage each other’s opposing walls. Physical attackers can beat special walls, that does not make them inherently good partners because when wallbreaking your target is whatever can wall your pokemon unless you have an unwallable mon, beating each others walls doesn't necessarily mean a good partner if their walls can switch back and forth infinitely. for one example of alternative partners that prevent endless switching, weavile and meowscarada with spikes and gholdengo support become very dangerous wallbreakers that put most defensive cores on a timer, while other nasty plot breakers like Darkrai can help muscle through special walls that check Gholdengo like Clodsire, Ting Lu and Blissey. In addition, other Special attackers that have access to utility tools like Knock Off to cripple their shared walls and Pokemon that would otherwise absorb Knock Off, such as Gliscor, Skarmory, Corviknight and Clefable, such as Darkrai or Iron Valiant, synergize well with Gholdengo's ability to block all hazard removal.
