Offensive Nasty Plot Gholdengo is a powerful wallbreaker with a near-unresisted STAB combination. After Nasty Plot, Shadow Ball + Make It Rain can 2HKO most walls and OHKO almost everything else. Bulletproof checks opposing Ghost-types by blocking Shadow Ball and also blocks Pyro Ball, while Magic Guard notably turns Garganacl into setup fodder and allows Gholdengo to run the powerful Steel Beam. Recover is the preferred move in the last slot, but it can be replaced with Dazzling Gleam, Focus Blast, Psyshock, or Thunderbolt to hit Roaring Moon, Kingambit, Clodsire, and Corviknight, respectively. Substitute can also be used for safer setup opportunities. This set is mainly weak to Blissey in general, as well as the aforementioned Pokemon without the right coverage,; this makes Great Tusk a great partner for Gholdengo, particularly Bulk Up sets. Gholdengo also pairs well with a Fire-type answer, such as Iron Moth, Well-Baked Body Corviknight, or Primordial Sea users.
