Thunder Wave Gholdengo is an incredibly disruptive support Pokemon thanks to its phenomenal typing, ability, and array of utility moves. Thunder Wave can cripple Pokemon that would otherwise give Steel teams a very hard time, such as Keldeo, Primarina, and Zamazenta. Hex 2HKOes paralyzed foes like physically defensive Corviknight, Keldeo, and Assault Vest Gallade. Make It Rain allows Gholdengo to apply immediate pressure on targets such as Hatterene, Kyurem, and Garganacl. The given EV spread allows Gholdengo to outspeed Adamant Scizor, 2HKO Assault Vest Tornadus-T, and survive a Choice Scarf Flutter Mane's Shadow Ball.

Skarmory is an excellent teammate for Gholdengo, as it can switch into Ground-type attacks from Pokemon such as Mamoswine and Excadrill as well as a myriad of physical attacks from Pokemon such as Roaring Moon and Hisuian Samurott. In return, Gholdengo can make sure that Skarmory's entry hazards stay on the field thanks to its hazard removal immunity. Hisuian Goodra can switch into strong special attacks from Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Darkrai. In return, Gholdengo can switch into Fighting-type attacks from Pokemon such as Zamazenta and Sneasler that would otherwise make quick work of Hisuian Goodra. Air Balloon Heatran is able to switch into Fire- and Ground-type attacks from Pokemon such as Gouging Fire, Volcarona, and opposing Heatran. Gholdengo's speed control via Thunder Wave allows Heatran to have an easier time in an offensive role, as it outspeeds Pokemon such as Kyurem and Latios while they are paralyzed. Archaludon can tank physical attacks from foes such as the Ogerpon formes, Meowscarada, and Bisharp. Archaludon can also apply pressure to Dark- and Dragon-types via Body Press and Draco Meteor. Iron Treads can use its solid Speed stat to threaten Fire-types and special walls that Gholdengo cannot break through, such as Clodsire, Alolan Muk, and Hisuian Goodra. Gholdengo can utilize Good as Gold to switch into moves such as Will-O-Wisp and Defog, allowing Iron Treads to have an easier time serving as a wallbreaker. Scizor is a phenomenal wallbreaker that can help Gholdengo deal with some of its best counters in Ting-Lu and Flutter Mane. In return, Gholdengo can switch into strong physical walls that Scizor cannot beat, such as Zamazenta and Dondozo.

Id put non AV torn t there or like gyarados when status.] as well as surviving a Choice Scarf Flutter Mane Shadow Ball.
