EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid / Modest Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Make It Rain
- Focus Blast
- Nasty Plot
The best mon in OU right now, probably. Gholdengo's ability in Good as Gold and great defensive typing with a Rapid Spin and Mortal Spin immunity let it be probably the most effective Pokemon ever at keeping hazards up. This set uses Nasty Plot to set up on common hazard removers and to beat roadblocks such as Ting-Lu and Corviknight. Shadow Ball is great STAB that can hit most of the tier neutrally, Make It Rain is a steel type nuke, Focus Blast can do a lot to Ting-Lu and the Paradox Donphans, and has a 70% chance of destroying Cyclizar and Maushold (and a 30% chance of selling the game).
Teammates for Gholdengo
Glimmora can act as a great teammate for Gholdengo by setting up hazards to weaken checks and to make Gholdengo more useful to its teammates.

You can use Gholdengo + Glimmora + pretty much anything else and win. Some other good offensive teammates would be Chi-Yu, Chien-Pao, Roaring Moon, Dragonite, Quaquaval, Annihilape, Espathra, Lokix, Dragapult, Baxcalibur, Kingambit, Ceruledge, Maushold, Shed Tail Cyclizar literally anything remotely good that is strong you get the point
