[SET COMMENTS]

* With Trick and an immunity to status moves, Gholdengo is a dangerous Choice item attacker for offensive and stall teams alike!

* Thunderbolt 2HKOes Dondozo and deals serious damage to Tera Flying Garganacl.

* Dazzling Gleam deals massive damage to Meowscarada and Hydreigon.

* Nasty Plot can be used to give Gholdengo more bite against defensive, slower teams after using Trick.

* Use a neutral nature Gholdengo that has a Timid Mint used on it. This way, Gholdengo can eat any Berry without being confused after Trick.

Tera Types
========

* **Water-type**: In addition to giving Gholdengo a valuable resistance to Fire, this makes Gholdengo deal much more damage to Volcarona and common Tera Fire users such as Dragapult.

* **Ghost-type**: The extra damage from Shadow Ball can make Gholdengo a more effective late-game cleaner.

* **Flying-type**: With a Flying Tera type, Gholdengo gains an extremely useful immunity to Ground, which is especially useful on Choice Specs sets and against users of Fissure such as Dondozo.

* **Steel-type**: Make It Rain becomes very powerful with a Tera boost, at the cost of making Gholdengo vulnerable to Mach Punch from Breloom.

Items
========

* **Choice Scarf**: With this, Gholdengo outspeeds key threats such as Dragapult, Meowscarada, and Hydreigon.

* **Choice Specs**: Choice Specs make Gholdengo much more difficult to wall, with foes such as Dondozo getting 2HKOed.

[SET]

move 1: Nasty Plot
move 2: Shadow Ball
move 3: Make It Rain / Flash Cannon / Tera Blast / Dazzling Gleam
move 4: Substitute / Recover / Tera Blast / Psyshock
item: Leftovers / Covert Cloak / Air Balloon
ability: Good as Gold
nature: Timid
evs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
tera type: Flying / Water

[SET COMMENTS]

* Nasty Plot makes Gholdengo a terror against slower teams, especially with its good bulk, unpredictable coverage, and diverse Tera Types.

* Substitute lets Gholdengo avoid residual damage from Garganacl's Salt Cure and ease prediction in general.

* Psyshock lets Gholdengo break through Chansey and Clodsire more easily.

Tera Types
========

* **Flying-type**: Flying Gholdengo gets the jump on dangerous Earthquake users such as Garchomp and Dragonite.

* **Water-type**: With this Tera type, Volcarona and Skeledirge are far less likely to stop Gholdengo from sweeping.

Items
========

* **Leftovers**: This is the most reliable option for keeping Gholdengo healthy and pairs especially well with Substitute.

* **Covert Cloak**: Covert Cloak prevents Salt Cure from chipping down Gholdengo, making it far easier for it to run Recover against Garganacl.

* **Air Balloon**: Air Balloon ruins Breloom's chances of winning the lead war against Gholdengo and makes Hippowdon easy setup bait.

[SET]
name: Assault Vest
move 1: Shadow Ball
move 2: Make It Rain
move 3: Dazzling Gleam / Tera Blast
move 4: Thunderbolt / Tera Blast
item: Assault Vest
ability: Good as Gold

evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
tera type: Water / Flying

[SET COMMENTS]

* Gholdengo's good bulk and unpredictable Tera types make it a great user of Assault Vest.

* Dazzling Gleam punishes Dark-type revenge killers such as Hydreigon and Meowscarada when combined with Tera.

* Thunderbolt is Gholdengo's best shot at muscling past Dondozo and also deals good damage to Corviknight and Tera Flying Garganacl.

Tera Types
========

* **Water-type**: With Assault Vest, Gholdengo can tank most Fire-type attacks against it and deal good damage to Volcarona. Watch out for its Giga Drain after Quiver Dance, though.

* **Flying-type**: A Flying-type makes Gholdengo much more difficult to revenge kill with common Earthquake users such as Garchomp and Dragonite.

An update has been pushed onsite for Gholdengo: it now has Focus Blast and Tera Normal mentioned on every set! This is because of the rise of Kingambit and Normal's ability to 1v1 Ghosts.
