Impish Nature

With his type and naturaly high special defense walls everything that tapu koko wants to trow at him and also resists both of sneasler stabs as well has having covert Cloak to prevent clodsire to be put to sleep and hit back with a stab eq and counter to 1 shot sneasler if he terrastalize flyng and acrobatics. And unawer so it doesen't care about the sd boost

Calcs:

252 SpA Tapu Koko Dazzling Gleam vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Clodsire: 52-62 (11.2 - 13.3%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Calm Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Make It Rain
- Nasty Plot
- Recover

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+ Atk Sneasler Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 252 HP / 116 Def Gholdengo: 61-72 (16.1 - 19%) -- possible 8HKO after Leftovers recovery
252+ Atk Tera Flying Sneasler Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 252 HP / 116 Def Gholdengo: 91-108 (24 - 28.5%) -- possible 5HKO after Leftovers recovery

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 244 HP / 252 SpD / 12 Spe
Tera Type: Fairy
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
- Facade
- Roost

Both lack the ability to really touch you, with the best option being Tera + Haze from Toxapex. In return, you can boost up and drop them both with EQ/Facade. While Defog+Taunt Gliscor might also do well vs this core, its just going to stalemate Lando rather than actually keep Rocks off.
