Hi, I‘m here to talk about 2 unraked pokemon,that although I’m not sure the deserve to be in the viability rankings, I rlly don’t de lose nothing doing this
Let’s start:

GOURGEIST:
okok... we are starting strong... what is doing gourgeist here ? Finally nobody wants it...
Well, I think it have a decent utility in ou
First, let’s talk about what is the role of gourgeist in ou and what set Im using as reference
Gourgeist-Super @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Foul Play
- Will-O-Wisp
- Synthesis
- Leech Seed/seed bomb
OKOK, WE ARE STARTING BAD
is that the normal pu set...?
Well, the idea with gourgeist is to check physical attackers as well as checking some set-up sweepers psysical atackers, something that rocky helmet tangrowth can’t do with most of these
Gourgeist can check pokemon like excadrill, garchomp, some sets of Gliscor (like a sd set),occasionally jirachi,kartana,occasionally landorus-t,occasionally MLopunny, it Can counter any Tapu Bulu set
Gourgeist can burn or put them leech seed like zapdos, tornadus,celesteela,Heatran,etc
Colbur berry is rlly useful in a lot of situations, especially when you want to burn some of its checks,like a tyranitar and a choice-locked weavile in knock Off or pursuit
It also is useful for knock off users like kartana and ocasionally Mega Mawile
It Can check other things, but rlly is a bit harder to perform well against pokemon like swampert, cause it can’t click syntesis comfortably, of ferrothorn, cause gourgeist can do much more than burn it,
so, use a sun user like Charizard-MegaY can be helpful for gourgeist ^

Now, let’s talk about the 2nd pokemon

GOODRA:
well, as before, first I’ll put the set on which I’m based
Goodra @ Leftovers
Ability: Sap Sipper
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 228 SpD / 32 Spe
Sassy Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Toxic
Ok... Im 100% sure that when u saw the word “goodra” u thinked in a av set... but noup.
Well, in ou, goodra is a great special wall and it can be difficult to switch to it depending the mu
Goodra can check things like blacephalon, Greninja ash, Ocasionally Mega Alakazam,Charizard-Mega-Y,ocasionally ferrothorn,some Greninja sets, it’s a great switch-in to Heatran, it can check grass types like Tapu Bulu, choice-locked kartana and tangrowth thanks to toxic, fire blast and Sap Sipper, magnezone,pelipper,rotom-w, Can counter serperior,Tapu Koko,Volcarona, zapdos, and it Can toxic gastrodon on a switch-in
And well, im using a leftovers > av cause toxic is important to check pokemon like charizard, tangrowth, Volcarona, gastrodon, zapdos, Mega Alakazam, etc
32 speed is to speed a smog on Mega Mawile set and click fire blast/eq trying to kill it or have a great damage in it
To finish, a wish user is extremely useful for goodra, cause one of the weakness of goodra is the lack of recovery
Here are the replays ^
