Gholdengo is an excellent setup sweeper and support Pokemon in Ubers UU, in large part due to its fantastic defensive typing, its strong ability, and Nasty Plot. Hex allows Gholdengo to do huge damage to statused foes, like sleeping Giratina and statused Arceus formes. Thunder Wave allows Gholdengo to disrupt the enemy team, power up its Hex, and cripple offensive Pokemon like Zacian, Palkia-O, and Chi-Yu. Nasty Plot turns Gholdengo from a wall into a potential sweeper with Shadow Ball, being able to boost on Pokemon that rely on status or phazing, like Arceus-Poison if its Air Balloon is intact and Clefable. Air Balloon gives Gholdengo a temporary Ground-type and Spikes immunity, allowing it to switch in on Great Tusk and Landorus easily, and keep entry hazards on the field against Great Tusk. Tera Water allows Gholdengo to resist Water- and Fire-type moves from the likes of Chi-Yu, Kyurem-W, Palkia-O, and Palafin. Gholdengo can paralyze and beat foes like Zacian and Zamazenta-C, helping teammates such as Arceus-Dark and Kyurem-W that appreciate being faster than opposing threats. However, Gholdengo struggles with Dark-types like Kingambit and Arceus-Dark, so Pokemon like Magearna and Zamazenta-C pair excellently with it. Additionally, Gholdengo has natural synergy with entry hazard setters like Magearna, Galarian Slowking, Galvantula, and Skarmory, as it blocks both Rapid Spin and Defog, making it the best Pokemon for keeping hazards on the opponent's field.

Tera Water allows Gholdengo to check Pokemon like Palafin and Palkia-o O due to resisting Water, while also resisting Chi-Yu’s Fire Blast and Kyurem-W’s Fusion Flare. Gholdengo can beat Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Zacian for the benefit of teammates like Kyurem-W and Palkia-O, and it also can spread paralysis, further benefiting Kyurem-W. However, Gholdengo struggles with dark types Dark-types like Kingambit and Arceus-Dark, so Pokemon like Magearna and Zamazenta-C are excellent pairings with it.

Hex allows Gholdengo to do huge damage to statused foes, like sleeping Giratina and Statused Arceus. Thunder Wave allows Gholdengo to disrupt the enemy team, power up its own Hex, and cripple offensive Pokemon like Zacian, Palkia-O and Chi-Yu (pretty hard to paralyze a Chi-Yu ngl, idk if it's worth mentioning, up to you). Nasty Plot turns Gholdengo from a defensive wall into a potential game ender with Shadow Ball, being able to boost on Pokemon that rely on status or phazing, like Arceus-Poison (you can't set up on Arceus-Poison, it usually brings Earthquake and if you Tera it has Gunk Shot, Extreme Speed, I'd add Solgaleo here) and Clefable. Air Balloon gives Gholdengo a temporary Ground-type and Spikes immunity, allowing it to switch in on Great Tusk and Landorus easily, and allowing it to keep hazards on the field. Tera Water allows Gholdengo to check Pokemon like Palafin and Palkia-o O (fix this) due to resisting Water, while also resisting Chi-Yu’s Fire Blast and Kyurem-W’s Fusion Flare. (I would rephrase this to something like "Tera Water allows Gholdengo to resist Water- and Fire-type moves from the likes of (insert the ones you mentioned)) Gholdengo can beat Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Zacian for the benefit of teammates like Kyurem-W and Palkia-O, and it also can spread paralysis, further benefiting Kyurem-W. (I would add teammates that really benefit being faster than their opponents, like Darkceus with The Set, and foes it can easily paralyze for the formers like Grassceus and Palkia-O. Rephrase it to sth like "Gholdengo can beat and paralyze foes like (insert foes), helping teammates such us (insert teammates) that appreciate being faster than these threats") However, Gholdengo struggles with Dark-types like Kingambit and Arceus-Dark, so Pokemon like Magearna and Zamazenta-C are excellent pairings with it. Additionally, Gholdengo has a natural affinity with Entry entry hazard setters like Magearna, Galarian Slowking, Galvantula and Skarmory, as it both blocks Rapid Spin and Defog, making it the best Pokemon for keeping the hazards on the opponent’s field.

implemented, but there might be a problem with the smogdex sets as you always seem to have to change the tera type's location.
