Gholdengo leverages its great typing, stats, and setup potential to serve as a solid defensive wall with good offensive pressure. Levitate/Earth Eater, Well-Baked Body, and Bulletproof enable Gholdengo to check and wall the likes of Dragonite, Iron Moth, and non-Hex Gholdengo and Gengar while also using them as opportunity to setup with Substitute and Nasty Plot to wallbreak. Gholdengo can alternatively choose to run Hex + Thunder Wave to spread status while Make It Rain is also an option for usual checks like Ting-Lu and Roaring Moon. Covert Cloak is an option to check Garganacl on non-Substitute sets and a more specially defensive EV spread can be used to better check powerful threats like Aerilate Noivern and MGLO Gholdengo on Well-Baked Body and Bulletproof sets. Gholdengo appreciates teammates like physically defensive Corviknight and defensive Great Tusk who can serve as defensive back-bone against common switch ins while also boasting Defog/Rapid Spin support to keep Gholdengo healthy, in-turn appreciating Gholdengo filling in defensive holes and its offensive pressure. Wallbreakers such as Choice Band Baxculibur and Swords Dance Cinderace also serve as great partners for their more immediate and greater power to overload and break defensive cores while appreciating being able to fall back on Gholdengo's defensive profile at times.

Gholdengo leverages its great typing, stats, comma and setup potential to serve as a solid defensive fill-in as well as applying good offensive pressure and as a potential wincon defensive wall with good offensive pressure. Levitate/Earth Eater, Well-Baked Body, comma and Bulletproof enables Gholdengo to check and wall the likes of Dragonite, Iron Moth, comma and non-Hex Gholdengo and Gengar while also using them as opportunity to setup with Substitute and Nasty Plot to wallbreak one word. Gholdengo can alternatively choose to run Hex + Thunder Wave to make the most of advantageous situations and spread status while Make It Rain is also an option for usual checks like Ting-Lu and Roaring Moon. Covert Cloak is an option to check Gargancal on non-Substitute sets or to allow safe switch-ins on Garg and a more specially defensive EV spread can be used to more solidly defensively check threats like Aerilate Noivern and MGLO Gholdengo on Well-Baked Body and Bulletproof sets. Gholdengo appreciates teammates like Fluffy/Intimidate Corv physically defensive Corviknight and defensive Great Tusk who can serve as defensive back-bone against common switch ins while also boasting Defog/Rapid Spin support to keep Gholdengo healthy, in-turn appreciating Gholdengo filling in defensive holes and its offensive pressure. Wallbreakers such as Choice Band Baxculibur and Swords Dance Cinderace also serve as great partners for their more immediate and greater power to overload and break defensive cores while appreciating being able to fall back on Gholdengo's defensive profile at times.

Implemented! (Although I don't necessarily see the point of removing Covert Cloak allowing the switch into Garganacl since that's actually pretty huge + Specially Defensive Ghold should be a thing! If not mentioned here anyway)
