Gholdengo is a strong special attacker that uses its great ability to switch into moves like Amoonguss's Spore and Incineroar's Parting Shot, allowing it to attack without being slowed down. Gholdengo is also used as a check to Pokemon like Zamazenta-C and Zacian-C, since it walls them. Trick is used to cripple support and setup Pokemon like Amoonguss and Terapagos or force Pokemon that set Trick Room such as Calyrex-I to switch out. Nasty Plot gives Gholdengo the option to set up once it has used Trick. Power Gem hits Fire-types that resist Make It Rain such as Incineroar, Chi-Yu, and Ogerpon-H. Alternatively, Dazzling Gleam threatens Pokemon like Miraidon and Koraidon. Choice Specs allows Gholdengo to use its strong Steel- and Ghost-type attacks to immediately threaten Pokemon like Calyrex-I, especially if it uses Tera Steel. The EV spread allows Gholdengo to survive Choice Specs Miraidon's Volt Switch, Incineroar's Flare Blitz, and Kyogre's Mystic Water-boosted Origin Pulse and OHKO bulky Flutter Mane sets with Shadow Ball. The Speed EVs let it outspeed the Ogerpon formes when they are at -1. Tera Steel lets Gholdengo OHKO Landorus and Tera Fairy Assault Vest Raging Bolt, and if Gholdengo is paired with speed control providers such as Tailwind Tornadus and Icy Wind Flutter Mane, it can run it to boost Make It Rain even further. Tera Dragon allows Gholdengo to resist Fire-type attacks such as Koraidon's Flare Blitz and Groudon's Heat Crash as well as Miraidon's Electro Drift and Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes. Tera Water also lets Gholdengo resist Fire- and Water-type attacks like Kyogre's Water Spout and Koraidon's Flare Blitz while not making it weak to Ice- and Fairy-type attacks such as Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash and Flutter Mane's Moonblast.

Incineroar resists Gholdengo's STAB combination while threatening it with Flare Blitz and Knock Off. Chi-Yu similarly checks Gholdengo while also outspeeding and threatening an OHKO on it with Dark Pulse or Overheat. Assault Vest Raging Bolt resists Make It Rain and avoids the 2HKO from Shadow Ball. As for teammates, Gholdengo pairs well with Terapagos, since Gholdengo walls Zamazenta-C, while Terapagos matches up well against Calyrex-S and can switch into Ghost-type attacks. Gholdengo also pairs well with Calyrex-I, since it can check Zamazenta-C and Zacian-C, which Calyrex-I struggles with. Gholdengo additionally has great synergy with Pelipper due to rain reducing Gholdengo's weakness to Fire and Pelipper threatening Fire-types that resist Make It Rain such as Incineroar and Chi-Yu. Finally, Chien-Pao and Calyrex-I are both good partners for Gholdengo, since they can threaten Raging Bolt.

Terapagos is also immune to Ghost-type attacks such as Calyrex-S's Astral Barrage that threaten Gholdengo while using the disruption that Trick causes to set up with Calm Mind. (calyrex-i is also an important mention since dengo can check zam+zac for it.) Gholdengo also benefits from strong ground type partners like Landorus-I that threaten Steel-(AH), Fire-(AH), and Electric-types that resist Gholdengo's Make It Rain.

Gholdengo is a strong Special Attacker that uses its good offensive and defensive typing to switch in on a resisted hit and then attack using its STAB attacks. Make It Rain threatens Flutter Mane and Calyrex-I while ignoring redirection. Gholdengo is immune to moves like Amoonguss's Spore and Incineroar's Parting Shot, allowing it to attack for free (Incineroar does threaten it with Flare Blitz and Knock Off, so is it really free?). Gholdengo is used as a check to Pokemon like Zamazenta-C or Zacian-C since it walls them due to its natural typing. Trick is used to cripple Pokemon like Amoonguss that want to switch moves or to force Pokemon that set TR Trick Room such as Calyrex-I to switch out. Dazzling Gleam can work with Tera Fairy as a way to hit pokemon Pokemon like Miraidon and Koraidon for super effective Super Effective damage. Alternatively, Power Gem hits Fire-types that resist Make It Rain such as Incineroar and , (Add comma) Chi-Yu and Ogerpon-H (Has been rising in popularity, is worth a mention imo). Choice Specs allows Gholdengo to use its strong Steel- and Ghost-type attacks as soon as it hits the field without needing to set up. (Why are we using Choice Specs here, any notable calcs or OHKOs it gets, mention that.) The HP and Special Defense investment allow The EV spread allows (Reducing the fluff) Gholdengo to live one Choice Specs Miraidon Volt Switch while the Special Attack EVs let and lets it OHKO bulky Flutter Mane sets with Shadow Ball.

Tera Water resists Fire- and Water-type attacks while not being weak to Ice and Fairy. If Gholdengo is paired with speed control such as Tailwind from Tornadus (You can mention any example, but afaik Tornadus has seen the most usage with Gholdengo) or Icy Wind Flutter Mane, it can run Tera Steel to boost Make it Rain even further. (Mention any notable calcs that Gholdengo can achieve with Tera Steel.)

Incineroar resists both of Gholdengo's STABs STAB moves while threatening it with Fire-and Dark-type attacks. Chi-Yu similarly checks Gholdengo while also outspeeding and threatening an OHKO on it. Gholdengo pairs well with Terapagos since it can switch in to Fighting-type attacks such as Zamazenta-C's Body Press and Koriadon's Koraidon's Collision Course. Terapagos is also immune to Ghost-type attacks such as Calyrex-S's Astral Barrage that threaten Gholdengo while using and uses the disruption that Trick causes to set up with Calm Mind. Gholdengo also pairs well with Calyrex-I since it can check Zamazenta-C and Zacian-C that Calyrex-I struggles with. Gholdengo also pairs well with Pelliper Pelipper due to Rain reducing Gholdengo's weakness to Fire-type attacks while also threatening Fire-types such as Incineroar that resist Make It Rain.

Gholdengo is a strong Special Attacker that uses its good offensive and defensive typing to switch in on a resisted hit and then attack using its STAB attacks. Make It Rain threatens Flutter Mane and Calyrex-I while ignoring redirection. (If I'm not mistaken this is misplaced or should be removed, you already highlighted its good match ups and Make It Rain doesn't need justification.) Gholdengo is immune to moves like Amoonguss's Spore and Incineroar's Parting Shot, allowing it to attack for free without being slowed down (Can't exactly attack freely in front of an Incineroar.). Gholdengo is used as a check to Pokemon like Zamazenta-C or Zacian-C since it walls them due to its natural typing (Unnecessary.). Trick is used to cripple support and set up Pokemon like Amoonguss and Terapagos that want to switch moves (Worded as dex info.) or to force Pokemon that set Trick Room such as Calyrex-I to switch out. Dazzling Gleam can work with Tera Fairy as a way to hit threaten Pokemon like Miraidon and Koraidon for Super Effective damage. (Unnecessary dex info, Tera Fairy isn't an option in your set. Also where's the mention of Nasty Plot?) Alternatively, Power Gem hits Fire-types that resist Make It Rain such as Incineroar, Chi-Yu and Ogerpon-H. Choice Specs allows Gholdengo to use its strong Steel- and Ghost-type attacks as soon as it hits the field without needing to set up. Choice Specs can allow Gholdengo to OHKO Calyrex-I with Make It Rain. (Only with Tera Steel.) The EV spread allows Gholdengo to live one Choice Specs Miraidon Volt Switch and lets it OHKO bulky Flutter Mane sets with Shadow Ball. The Speed EVs let it outspeed the Ogerpon formes when they are at -1 Speed. Tera Dragon allows Gholdengo to resist Fire-type attacks such as Koriadon's Flare Blitz and Groudon's Heat Crash while also resisting Miraidon's Electro Drift and Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes. Tera Water resists Fire- and Water-type attacks while not being weak to Ice and Fairy (Examples please.). If Gholdengo is paired with speed control such as Tailwind from Tornadus or Icy Wind Flutter Mane, it can run Tera Steel to boost Make it Rain even further. Tera Steel allows Gholdengo to OHKO Landorus-I and Tera Fairy Assault Vest Raging Bolt

Incineroar resists both of Gholdengo's STAB moves while threatening it with Fire-and Dark-type attacks Flare Blitz and Knock Off. (Avoid the type chart and basic information to keep it metagame relevant.) Chi-Yu similarly checks Gholdengo while also outspeeding and threatening an OHKO on it. Gholdengo pairs well with Terapagos since it can switch in to Fighting-type attacks such as Zamazenta-C's Body Press and Koraidon's Collision Course. Terapagos is also immune to Ghost-type attacks such as Calyrex-S's Astral Barrage that threaten Gholdengo and uses the disruption that Trick causes to set up with Calm Mind. (Ideally edit this to say they are good into the respective threats, same thing about type chart.) Gholdengo also pairs well with Calyrex-I since it can check Zamazenta-C and Zacian-C that Calyrex-I struggles with. Gholdengo also pairs well with Pelipper due to rain reducing Gholdengo's weakness to Fire-type attacks while also threatening Fire-types such as Incineroar that resist Make It Rain.

Gholdengo is a strong Special Attacker that uses its good offensive and defensive typing to switch in on a resisted hit and then attack using its STAB attacks. Gholdengo is immune to moves like Amoonguss's Spore and Incineroar's Parting Shot, allowing it to attack without being slowed down. (These two sentences can definitely be merged into one, smth like 'strong Special Attacker that uses its great typing and ability to..") Gholdengo is used as a check to Pokemon like Zamazenta-C or Zacian-C since it walls them. Trick is used to cripple support and set up Pokemon like Amoonguss and Terapagos or to force Pokemon that set Trick Room such as Calyrex-I to switch out. Dazzling Gleam can threaten Pokemon like Miraidon and Koraidon. Nasty Plot gives Gholdengo the option to setup once it has used Trick. Alternatively, Power Gem hits Fire-types that resist Make It Rain such as Incineroar, Chi-Yu and Ogerpon-H. Choice Specs allows Gholdengo to use its strong Steel- and Ghost-type attacks as soon as it hits the field without needing to set up (Technically NP Dengo doesn't need to set up either, probably something like 'immidietly threaten' and reintroduce the Caly-I calc clarifying Tera Steel.). The EV spread allows Gholdengo to live one Choice Specs Miraidon Volt Switch and lets it OHKO bulky Flutter Mane sets with Shadow Ball as well as living Incineroar's Flare Blitz and Kyogre's Mystic Water boosted Origin Pulse most of the time. (You went back to the original spread which lives every time.) The Speed EVs let it outspeed the Ogerpon formes when they are at -1 Speed. Tera Dragon allows Gholdengo to resist Fire-type attacks such as Koriadon's Flare Blitz and Groudon's Heat Crash while also resisting Miraidon's Electro Drift and Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes. Tera Water resists Fire- and Water-type attacks like Kyogre's Water Spout and Koriadon's Flare Blitz while not being weak to Ice- and Fairy-type attacks such as Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash and Flutter Mane's Moonblast. If Gholdengo is paired with speed control such as Tailwind from Tornadus or Icy Wind Flutter Mane, it can run Tera Steel to boost Make it Rain even further. Tera Steel allows Gholdengo to OHKO Landorus-I and Tera Fairy Assault Vest Raging Bolt

Incineroar resists both of Gholdengo's STAB moves while threatening it with Flare Blitz and Knock Off. Chi-Yu similarly checks Gholdengo while also outspeeding and threatening an OHKO on it with Dark Pulse or Overheat. (Chi-Yu without a boosting item can't pick up Gholdengo with Heat Wave or Snarl.) Gholdengo pairs well with Terapagos since it walls Zamazenta-C while Terapagos matches up well into Calyrex-S and can switch into Ghost-type attacks. Gholdengo also pairs well with Calyrex-I since it can check Zamazenta-C and Zacian-C that Calyrex-I struggles with. Gholdengo also pairs well with Pelipper due to rain reducing Gholdengo's weakness to Fire-type attacks while also threatening Fire-types such as Incineroar that resist Make It Rain such as Incineroar and Chi-Yu. (Mentioning how to handle each counter is great. Consider mentioning how problematic Raging Bolt is and highlight how Calyrex-I and Chien-Pao are good Gholdengo partners as they also remove Raging Bolt,)

Tera Water resists also lets Gholdengo resist Fire- and Water-type attacks like Kyogre's Water Spout and Koriadon's Koraidon's Flare Blitz while not being making it weak to Ice- and Fairy-type attacks such as Chien-Pao's Icicle Crash and Flutter Mane's Moonblast. If Gholdengo is paired with speed control such as Tailwind from Tornadus or Icy Wind Flutter Mane, it can run Tera Steel to boost Make it Rain even further. Tera Steel allows Gholdengo to OHKO Landorus-I and Tera Fairy Assault Vest Raging Bolt

Incineroar resists both of Gholdengo's STAB moves combination while threatening it with Flare Blitz and Knock Off. Chi-Yu similarly checks Gholdengo while also outspeeding and threatening an OHKO on it with Dark Pulse or Overheat. Assault Vest Raging Bolt resists Make It Rain and avoids the 2HKO from Shadow Ball. As for teammates, (moved + added transition to bloc off checks/good teammates) Gholdengo pairs well with Terapagos, (ac) since it Gholdengo (changed for clarity) walls Zamazenta-C, (ac) while Terapagos matches up well into against Calyrex-S and can switch into Ghost-type attacks. Gholdengo also pairs well with Calyrex-I, (ac) since it can check Zamazenta-C and Zacian-C, (AC) that which Calyrex-I struggles with. Gholdengo also pairs well additionally has great synergy (changed to avoid repetition) with Pelipper due to rain reducing Gholdengo's weakness to Fire-type attacks while also and Pelipper (it's pelipper itself that does this, not the rain) threatening Fire-types that resist Make It Rain such as Incineroar and Chi-Yu. Assault Vest Raging Bolt resists Make It Rain as well as avoiding and avoids the 2HKO from Shadow Ball. Finally, Chien-Pao and Calyrex-I are both good partners for Gholdengo, (ac) since they can threaten Raging Bolt.
