ZU Gourgeist-XL

[Aaronboyer]

Gourgeist-Super @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Foul Play
- Synthesis
- Will-O-Wisp
- Leech Seed

Undoubtedly one of the best physical walls in the tier, a healthy Gourgeist-XL is more than capable of checking foes such as Pinsir, Choice Band Floatzel, Leafeon, and all variants of Komala lacking Toxic with ease. Gourgeist-XL also has access to an assortment of utility options such as Will-O-Wisp and Leech Seed, as well as Synthesis for reliable recovery, allowing it to fit on a range of different playstyles from bulky offense to stall to check physical attackers. While Gourgeist-XL is susceptible to special attackers, its unique set of resistances and immunities allows it to form defensive cores and create a solid backbone for a team. Due to its ability to check physical attackers and absorb Knock Off so well, Pokemon such as Golem, Monferno, and Silvally-Water are used with Gourgeist-XL on bulky offense teams, while Pokemon such as Lickilicky, Pyukumuku, and Muk are used with Gourgeist-XL on stall teams.

kind of downplay the disadvantages about gourgeist imo (smashed by special attackers and hazards), facebook spotlights generally focus on the positive qualities of Pokemon

harp on a bit how it just walls practically everything physical in the tier instead and you should be good

qc 1/1
