Gimmighoul-Roaming reaches the coveted 18 Speed in Little Cup, which makes it faster than commonly used Pokemon like Mienfoo, Vullaby, and Toedscool. Nasty Plot sharply boosts its Special Attack and, combined with the Life Orb, helps turn Gimmighoul-Roaming into a dangerous wallbreaker. Some calcs:
+2 236 SpA Life Orb Tera Ghost Gimmighoul-Roaming Shadow Ball vs. 36 HP / 164+ SpD Eviolite Tinkatink: 23-29 (104.5 - 131.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 236 SpA Life Orb Tera Ghost Gimmighoul-Roaming Shadow Ball vs. 124 HP / 156 SpD Eviolite Foongus: 26-31 (104 - 124%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 236 SpA Life Orb Tera Ghost Gimmighoul-Roaming Shadow Ball vs. 116 HP / 180 SpD Eviolite Mareanie: 26-31 (113 - 134.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Power Gem is a specialized coverage move for Flying-types like Vullaby. Substitute gives Gimmighoul-Roaming a free turn on forced switches and helps it with Sucker Punch mind games. Gimmighoul-Roaming is threatened by Dark-types like Stunky and faster Pokemon like Elekid, but they can be trapped by Trapinch, which is great to pair with Gimmighoul-Roaming. It also appreciates teammates like Mienfoo and Vullaby, which can remove Eviolite and bring it in safely with U-turn. Entry hazard support from Glimmet and Mudbray helps get foes in its damage range late-game.
