Gholdengo is a premier defensive piece due to its incredible ability and typing, which helps it check threats like Tapu Lele, Mega Medicham, and Zamazenta while also being immune to Great Tusk and Terapagos’s Rapid Spin and Defog from Tornadus-T and Zapdos. Focus Blast allows Gholdengo to hit would-be checks in Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Terapagos without Tera Shell. Thunder Wave allows Gholdengo to slow down Pokemon such as Terapagos, Ogerpon-W, and Heatran. Hex is boosted to new heights because of Thunder Wave, and it severely damages Gliscor. Ghostium Z allows Gholdengo to greatly harm Pokemon that are unable to be paralyzed by Thunder Wave such as Raging Bolt, Zapdos, Great Tusk, and Landorus-T. Leftovers allows Gholdengo to have an easier time switching in against Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant repeatedly. Fightinium Z helps Gholdengo secure OHKOs on Assault Vest Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Terapagos without Tera Shell while also being more reliable to hit with than Focus Blast. Air Balloon allows Gholdengo to be completely immune to Ground-type attacks from the likes of Gliscor and Great Tusk and block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk more effectively. The given EVs allow Gholdengo to outspeed uninvested Landorus-T and Jolly Kingambit while avoiding the OHKO from Choice Specs Dragapult.

Gholdengo fits on various playstyles where its paralysis support and incredible defensive utility are valued. Teammates that set up entry hazards like Hisuian Samurott and Ting-Lu are perfect partners for Gholdengo because of it being an effective blocker of hazard removal from Terapagos and Great Tusk, especially if it is holding Air Balloon. Wallbreakers such as Mega Medicham and Ogerpon-W benefit from Gholdengo checking revenge killers like Tornadus-T, Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, and Zamazenta while also slowing down these faster threats with Thunder Wave. Gholdengo is unable to consistently break through Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Volcarona and is passive against Zapdos and Raging Bolt if it is unable to use a Z-Move. It is also easily outpaced by threats like Dragapult, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Charizard Y, limiting its ability to stay on the field safely. Teammates like Dragonite, Mega Tyranitar, and Zamazenta are great partners to help work around these issues. Iron Valiant is also a great partner for Gholdengo, as it appreciates Gholdengo paralyzing faster revenge killers like Tapu Lele and Tornadus-T, and in return, it takes care of Pokemon like Hisuian Samurott and Kingambit for Gholdengo.

Focus Blast allows Gholdengo to hit would be checks in Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Terapagos without Tera Shell. Thunder Wave allows Gholdengo to slow down Pokemon such as Terapagos, Ogerpon-W, and Heatran while also boosting the power of Hex to new heights.make a separate comment here on hex synergizing with twave + chunking gliscor Ghostium Z allows Gholdengo to greatly harm Pokemon who are unable to be statused by Thunder Wave such as Raging Bolt, Zapdos, Great Tusk, and Landorus-T. Leftovers allows Gholdengo to have an easier time against Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant in the long term. this is a little confusing, you can say it makes it easier to switch into repeatedly(as booster val isnt exactly long term) Fightnium Z helps Gholdengo secure the OHKO on Assault Vest Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Terapagos without Tera Shell while also being more reliable to hit with than Focus Blast. Air Balloon allows Gholdengo to be completely immune to most Gliscor sets immune Earthquake from the likes of Gliscor gliscor runs knock/uturn fairly commonly and block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk more effectively. The given EVs outspeed Landorus-T mention jolly kgb while avoiding the OHKO from Choice Specs Dragapult.

Gholdengo fits on virtually any playstyle, from fat to hyper offense, various playstyles, you can easily shorten this, no need to elaborate here when u mention its role on the next part of the sentence where its paralysis support and incredible defensive utility are valued. Teammates that set up Spikes like Hisuian Samurott and Ting-Lu are perfect partners for Gholdengo because of Gholdengo being an effective blocker of hazard removal from Terapagos and Great Tusk, especially if it is holding Air Balloon. Offensive Pokemon like Mega Lopunny and Ogerpon-W benefit from Gholdengo checking revenge killers like Tornadus-T, Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, and Zamazenta. Gholdengo is unable to consistently break through Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Volcarona and is passive against Zapdos and Raging Bolt once it has used its Z-Move if unable to use a Z-Move. ghold has many diff items beside just ghost z It is also easily outpaced by threats like Dragapult, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Charizard Y, limiting Gholdengo’s ability to stay on the field safely. Teammates like Dragonite, Mega Tyranitar, and Zamazenta are great partners to help work around these issues. important to mention breakers that benefit from para like mmedi

Focus Blast allows Gholdengo to hit would be checks in Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Terapagos without Tera Shell. Thunder Wave allows Gholdengo to slow down Pokemon such as Terapagos, Ogerpon-W, and Heatran. It also boosts Hex to new heights, along with severely damaging Gliscor. (Rephrase this, since the "along with severely damaging Gliscor" part, it seems to convey that Thunder Wave does damage to Gliscor :skull:) Ghostium Z allows Gholdengo to greatly harm Pokemon who are unable to be statused by Thunder Wave such as Raging Bolt, Zapdos, Great Tusk, and Landorus-T. Leftovers allows Gholdengo to have an easier time against switching in against Pokemon like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant repeatedly. Fightnium Z helps Gholdengo secure the OHKO on Assault Vest Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Terapagos without Tera Shell while also being more reliable to hit with than Focus Blast. Air Balloon allows Gholdengo to be completely immune to Earthquake (you can mention balloon dengo being immune to tusk's Ground Stabs too while spinblocking simultaneously) from the likes of Gliscor and block Rapid Spin from Great Tusk more effectively. The given EVs outspeed uninvested Landorus-T, Jolly Kingambit and uninvested base 90s like Moltes, while avoiding the OHKO from Choice Specs Dragapult.

Gholdengo fits on many various playstyles, where its paralysis support and incredible defensive utility are valued. Teammates that set up Spikes like Hisuian Samurott and Ting-Lu are perfect partners for Gholdengo because of Gholdengo being an effective blocker of hazard removal from Terapagos and Great Tusk, especially if it is holding Air Balloon. (Can specify here about hazard stacking teammates since it's not like any team doesn't like keeping any type of hazards up) Wallbreakers such as Mega Medicham and Ogerpon-W benefit from Gholdengo checking revenge killers like Tornadus-T, Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, and Zamazenta while also slowing down these faster threats with Thunder Wave. Gholdengo is unable to consistently break through Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Volcarona and is passive against Zapdos and Raging Bolt if unable to use a Z-Move. It is also easily outpaced by threats like Dragapult, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Charizard Y, limiting Gholdengo’s ability to stay on the field safely. Teammates like Dragonite, Mega Tyranitar, and Zamazenta are great partners to help work around these issues. (Iron Valiant is also a great partner for Gholdengo since Val appreciates ghold paralyzing faster rkillers like lele, whereas ghold appreciates Val taking care of mons like H-Samu, gambit, volc [boosted sd val] etc. You can eloborate on this too.)

This isn’t true since molt hits 216 speed uninvested, whereas the Ghold spread hits 219 for the Lando / jolly gambit tiers.
