Choice Scarf Gholdengo's ability to revenge kill threats such as Flutter Mane, Chien-Pao lacking Sucker Punch, and Dragapult, come into status-spreading Pokemon such as Klefki and Breloom due to Good as Gold, and inconvenience bulkier teams by preventing all forms of entry hazard removal with its ability and typing make it a prime pick for Ghost teams. Make it Rain greatly weakens Dark- and Normal-types such as Hydreigon and Indeedee, and it OHKOes Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Chien-Pao. Shadow Ball lets Gholdengo clean types such as Psychic and Ghost late-game. Trick neutralizes defensive pivots such as Corviknight, Ting-Lu, and Clodsire, which typically switch into it. The last move of choice is dependent on what the Ghost team lacks; Focus Blast gives the team another way to defeat Choice Specs Greninja, Thunderbolt cleans Water- and Flying-teams, or Nasty Plot which turns Gholdengo into a massive threat against bulkier teams especially after their main specially defensive wall has been given a Choice Scarf with Trick.

As Gholdengo provides the needed revenge killing capabilities on Ghost teams, teammates such as Flutter Mane and Dragapult are free to run sets like Choice Specs and Dragon Dance, respectively. Both also break down walls such as Clodsire and Gastrodon; in return, Gholdengo deals with Chien-Pao (hyphen) and Choice Scarf Gallade. Skeledirge walls most physical attackers and Fire-types such as Scovillain and Volcarona. Mimikyu provides a safety net against offensive types like rain Water and Ghost, checking Barraskewda and Choice Scarf Flutter Mane for the team, and it loves Gholdengo shutting down defensive walls such as Toxapex with Trick. Entry hazard setters in Brambleghast and Froslass are is also greatly appreciated, as they can set, remove, or prevent entry hazards for Gholdengo; in return, Gholdengo prevents their entry hazards from getting removed by Glimmora. Brambleghast also switches into Ground-types such as Ting-Lu and Great Tusk and deals with Water-types like Gastrodon and Dondozo, while Froslass can spread paralysis with Thunder Wave and bring down an opposing Pokemon with its Destiny Bond.

  • Nasty Plot should probably be mentioned as the last option on the fourth move slot, as this is a Choiced set - you would also need to readjust your firs paragraph to the new order.
  • Psyshock isn't really worth a mention, as Ghost benefits from a much better Psyshocker in Flutter Mane.
  • Iron Valiant is a good addition to the list of mons that Make It Rain beats.
  • Good as Gold should definitely be mentioned, since it ensures that even Corv's Defog can't remove the hazards set by Froslass/Bramble and allows Gholdengo to come in on stuff like Klefki's TWave or Amoonguss/Breloom's Spore
  • Kingambit doesn't really lose to Focus Blast as it can take Gholdengo out before it even gets to use it - you should probably only keep Gren as your example there, or pick something different maybe.

QC 1/2

Choice Scarf Gholdengo's ability to answer revenge kill threats (answer just reads weird to me and i think revenge kill is a more fitting term here) such as Flutter Mane, Chien-Pao (worth noting without sucker punch maybe?), and Dragapult, come into Pokemon such as Klefki and Breloom which frequently run Status moves due to Good as Gold, and to prevent all forms of entry hazard removal with its ability and typing which inconveniences bulkier teams makes it a prime pick for Ghost teams. Make it Rain greatly weakens Dark- and Normal-types such as Hydreigon and Indeedee, and OHKOes Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant, and Chien-Pao. Shadow Ball lets Gholdengo clean types such as Psychic and Ghost late-game. Trick neutralizes defensive pivots such as Corviknight, Ting-Lu, and Clodsire which typically come onto it.

As Gholdengo provides the needed speed control in Ghost-teams, team mates such as Flutter Mane and Dragapult are free to run sets such as Choice Specs and Dragon Dance, respectively. Both also break down walls such as Clodsire and Gastrodon for it, and in return Gholdengo deals with Chien Pao and Choice Scarf Gallade which deals with its team mates readily.
