[SET COMMENTS]
- Nasty Plot + Recover Gholdengo is the best option for preventing entry hazard removal in the tier.
- Tera Steel bolsters Make It Rain's power, allowing Gholdengo to overwhelm threats such as Koraidon, defensive Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, and bulky Tera Fairy Miraidon after a Nasty Plot boost while removing its Ghost typing.
- Tera Normal blocks incoming Ghost-type attacks from the likes of Flutter Mane, Choice Scarf Houndstone, and opposing Gholdengo.
- Air Balloon provides a temporary measure against Ground-type attacks from Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Iron Treads, allowing Gholdengo to sometimes switch into them.
- Gholdengo best fits on hyper offense and balance teams that aim to preserve their own entry hazards for as long as possible.
- Frail leads such as Froslass and Masquerain appreciate their entry hazards staying intact against Great Tusk, Iron Treads, Corviknight, and Glimmora.
- Glimmora and Ting-Lu make for good teammates on balance teams in particular, as they provide similar entry hazard support while having sufficient power and bulk to punish threats.
- Wallbreakers such as Miraidon, Koraidon, and Chi-Yu appreciate multiple entry hazards to further overwhelm the opposition with their tremendous attacks and power.
