Sneaseler fans are SOBBING upon seeing this mon on preview as the Gholdenguardian basically walls Sneasler while shrugging off those flimsy Thunderbolts from Tapu Koko. Then you just simply strike both of them down with a boosted MiR because your bulk lets you setup on both of them an OHKO at +2.

252 SpA Tapu Koko Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 128+ SpD Gholdengo in Electric Terrain: 133-157 (35.1 - 41.5%) -- 79.1% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

252 SpA Tapu Koko Dazzling Gleam vs. 252 HP / 128+ SpD Gholdengo: 45-54 (11.9 - 14.2%) -- possibly the worst move ever
0- Atk Tapu Koko U-turn vs. 252 HP / 116 Def Gholdengo: 12-14 (3.1 - 3.7%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Sneasler Close Combat vs. Gholdengo: 0-0 (0 - 0%) -- possibly the worst move ever
Sneasler Dire Claw vs. Gholdengo: 0-0 (0 - 0%) -- possibly the worst move ever
