:gholdengo:
Gholdengo @ Electrium Z
Ability: Good as Gold
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 164 HP / 252 SpA / 92 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic / Make It Rain
- Nasty Plot
- Recover

+2 252+ SpA Gholdengo Gigavolt Havoc (175 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Alomomola: 648-764 (121.3 - 143%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252+ SpA Gholdengo Psychic vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Venusaur-Mega: 374-442 (102.7 - 121.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252+ SpA Gholdengo Psychic vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Zamazenta: 388-458 (119.3 - 140.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

+2 252+ SpA Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Venusaur-Mega: 373-441 (102.4 - 121.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 252+ SpA Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Zamazenta: 289-342 (88.9 - 105.2%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO

Alomomola is the setup fodder of choice, you Nasty Plot on the Mirror Coat and then blow it up with Gigavolt Havoc. Venusaur-Mega drops to boosted Make It Rain and fails to outspeed Gholdengo due to it being EV'd to outspeed Gliscor. Make It Rain then has a roll to OHKO Zamazenta at +1; alternatively, Psychic is guaranteed to break the core. Of course, you wouldn't normally run Psychic on this wacky AV Alomomola lure set, but for the purpose of breaking this core, it's optimal.

Maximum damage intake:
0 Atk Alomomola Liquidation vs. 164 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 76-90 (21.3 - 25.2%) -- 0.1% chance to 4HKO
160+ SpA Venusaur-Mega Earth Power vs. 164 HP / 0 SpD Gholdengo: 210-248 (58.9 - 69.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Zamazenta Crunch vs. 164 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 172-204 (48.3 - 57.3%) -- 91.8% chance to 2HKO

252 Atk Zamazenta Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 188 Def Kartana: 254-302 (78.8 - 93.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
