  • Good Bulky Attacker
  • Mono-grass typing brings very little weaknesses
  • Sap-sipper is a great ability allowing it to swap into certain moves, and then raise it's attack
  • Overall stat spread of 123 / 100 / 62 / 97 / 81 / 68
  • High attack and Special Attack make gogoat a great mixed, choice scarf user
  • Limited moveset
  • Lacking defenses and speed

Uh... there are a lot of issues here. Grass-type is the opposite of "very little weaknesses", I'm afraid. Secondly, Gogoat's attacking stats are average at best in OU, and it's too slow and weak to be a Choice Scarfer. Gogoat's movepool and defenses are actually quite solid, its speed and offenses are the biggest issues.

Mixed Scarf
########
name: Mixed Scarf
move 1: Energy Ball / Horn Leech
move 2: Surf / Wild Charge
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Rock Slide
ability: Sap Sipper
item: Choice Scarf
nature: Lonely / Mild
evs: 128 Atk / 128 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 SpD
First off, you have 512 EVs, which is 4 too many. Not to mention with CS and a neutral nature, Gogoat only reaches 352 Speed, which is really awful because it's still beaten by anything with base 111+ Speed. It also has pitiful offenses with split EVs and no item or Bulk Up to boost. This set is no good.

Gogoat's best bet is a Bulk Up set. Read the Gogoat preview on-site or check out the first set in my discussion thread (link in my sig) if you need some help!
 
I've been testing the Mixed Scarf set and I really like how it plays out and how it puts in quite a bit of work, so I'll leave the set in the air just incase I get some backing for it. As for the moveset i really just don't like how small, in terms of numbers, it is, but I do like the coverage it grants, so i may bump the limited up to decent, since it is not a Nidoking/queen.
