[SET COMMENTS]

• Choice Scarf Gholdengo outspeeds the entire unboosted metagame, can use Trick to weaken defensive teams, and also blocks Defog and Rapid Spin to keep pressure on defensive Pokemon with entry hazards.
• Focus Blast deals more damage to Ting-Lu, Chi-Yu, and Iron Treads, while Nasty Plot and Recover can be used after Gholdengo's Choice Scarf has been removed via Trick to turn it into a setup sweeper or give it longevity, respectively.
• Tera Fighting powers up Focus Blast, which allows Gholdengo to potentially 2HKO Ting-Lu. Alternatively, Gholdengo can use Tera Steel on sets not using Focus Blast to boost Make It Rain and remove its weaknesses to Flutter Mane's and Chien-Pao's STAB moves.
• Gholdengo should almost always be switched in if Corviknight is on the field and be used sparingly against Great Tusk and Iron Treads if a Rapid Spin is predicted, but this is risky due to its Earthquake weakness.
• Spikes setters like Ting-Lu and Clodsire on balance teams as well as Froslass on hyper offense teams appreciate Gholdengo keeping up Spikes and it acting as a revenge killer for their respective archetypes.
• Pokemon like Calm Mind Miraidon, Calm Mind Flutter Mane, and Swords Dance Chien-Pao also benefit from Gholdengo using Trick on defensive Pokemon, forcing them to either heal or be locked into an unfavorable attack while they set up. Gholdengo can also clean up weakened teams if these Pokemon are used to wallbreak first.

[Lasen]

I'd maybe add another Spikes setter like Clodsire.

Other than that this is your best work yet, 1/2

 

[Aberforth]

I would push the bullet about preventing hazards and revenge killing above the focus blast stuff, as it's more fundamental to how Gholdengo works.

QC 2/2, looks good.

• Choice Scarf Gholdengo outspeeds the entire unboosted metagame, (AC) and can use Trick to weaken defensive teams, and while also blockings Defog and Rapid Spin to keep pressure on defensive Pokemon with entry hazards.
• Focus Blast helps deal more damage to Ting-Lu, Chi-Yu and Iron Treads, while and Nasty Plot or Recover can be used after tricking the Choice Scarf to make Gholdengo a set up sweeper or give it longevity, (AC) respectively.
• Tera Fighting powers up Focus Blast which allows it to potentially 2HKO Ting-Lu, while and Tera Steel gives a very powerful Make it Rain on sets not using Focus Blast while also removing weaknesses to Flutter Mane's and Chien-Pao's STAB moves.
• Gholdengo's main roles are to prevent hazards and to be a revenge killer.
• It should almost always be switched in if a Corviknight is on the field, and used sparingly against Great Tusk or Iron Treads if a Rapid Spin is predicted, but this is less reliable due to its Earthquake weakness.
• Spikes setters like Ting-Lu and Clodsire on balance teams or Froslass on hyper offense teams appreciate Gholdengo keeping up Spikes while also being fast for their respective archetypes. (I’m a little confused here about what you’re trying to say, does Gholdengo enable Ting-Lu, Clodsire, and Froslass to be fast, or is Gholdengo do the same job as those three, but faster?)
• Pokemon like Calm Mind Miraidon, Calm Mind Flutter Mane, or Swords Dance Chien-Pao also benefit from Gholdengo using Trick on defensive Pokemon, forcing them to either heal or be locked into an unfavourable (‘mericattack while they set up. Gholdengo can also clean up weakened teams if these Pokemon are used to wallbreak first.
