Nasty Plot Gholdengo is an amazing setup sweeper thanks to its excellent defensive typing, Make It Rain, and Good as Gold, which gives it an invaluable immunity to Spore from Amoonguss and Taunt. Gholdengo has good matchups into common Restricted Pokemon such as Calyrex-I and Zamazenta-C. Nasty Plot is used to allow Gholdengo to set up and sweep opposing teams. Leftovers gives Gholdengo more longevity, while Metal Coat is used so it can OHKO Flutter Mane with unboosted Make It Rain. The Special Attack investment allows Gholdengo to always 2HKO Zamazenta-C with +2 Shadow Ball, while the defensive investment allows Gholdengo to survive Origin Pulse from Mystic Water Kyogre and Flare Blitz from Incineroar. The Speed investment allows Gholdengo to outspeed Pelipper. Tera Normal is used to give Gholdengo an immunity to threatening Ghost-type moves such as Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S and Shadow Ball from Flutter Mane, while Tera Water is used because it is a good defensive typing overall while allowing Gholdengo to resist Fire-type attacks.

Common checks to Gholdengo consist of Incineroar, Chi-Yu, Assault Vest Raging Bolt, and Calyrex-S. Chi-Yu and Calyrex-S outspeed and threaten to OHKO Gholdengo. Assault Vest Raging Bolt easily shrugs off attacks from Gholdengo, while Incineroar walls it and can hit back with super effective Knock Off and Flare Blitz. Common partners for Gholdengo are Amoonguss, Incineroar, Pelipper, Urshifu-R, and Calyrex-I. Amoonguss and Incineroar help Gholdengo defensively by aiding in its setup, with redirection and Pollen Puff healing as well as Fake Out and Intimidate, respectively. On the other hand, Urshifu-R and Pelipper can deal with Calyrex-S, Chi-Yu, and Incineroar thanks to Pelipper's access to the combination of Drizzle and Weather Ball and Urshifu-R's ability to outspeed and OHKO all three of them with Surging Strikes. Calyrex-I is a common Gholdengo partner, since Gholdengo can help deal with threats to Calyrex-I such as Zamazenta-C and Zacian-C.

Nasty Plot Gholdengo is an amazing setup sweeper, thanks to its excellent defensive typing, signature move Make It Rain, and ability we know from dex that dengo's ability is good as gold and that only it gets make it rain Good as Gold, which gives it invaluable resistance would immunity just be more clear here? I'll leave it but "resistance" tends to mean it doesn't affect it as much while dengo is just straight up not affected to the immensely popular Spore from Amoonguss. A well-positioned Gholdengo has good matchups into threats such as Ogerpon-C idk how much of an advertisement ogerpon-c is but ok, Calyrex-I, and Zamazenta-C. Make It Rain is used to maximize Gholdengo's STAB damage, while make it rain is kinda obvious and you already mention how good it is from the first sentence Shadow Ball is used as a reliable STAB move with no drawbacks. no competition for the move, gholdengo's ghost type coverage is small Nasty Plot is used to allow Gholdengo to set up and sweep opposing teams. Metal Coat is used to allow an OHKO on Flutter Mane with unboosted Make It Rain, while Leftovers is used to set up Nasty Plot easier. The Special Attack investment allows Gholdengo to always 2HKO Zamazenta-C with +2 Shadow Ball, while the defensive investment allows Gholdengo to almost always live Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R while in the rain, to always live a High Horsepower from Calyrex-I, and to always live a Flare Blitz from most Incineroar, and the Speed investment allows Gholdengo to outspeed Modest Pelipper. Tera Water is used to resist common Water- and Fire-type moves such as Heat Wave from Chi-Yu, Flare Blitz from Incineroar, Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R, and Water Spout and Origin Pulse from Kyogre, while Tera Normal is used for an immunity to threatening Ghost-type moves such as Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S and Shadow Ball from Flutter Mane.

Common checks to Gholdengo consist of Incineroar, Chi-Yu, and Calyrex-S. The former two can hit Gholdengo for super effective damage and resist both of its STAB's, while the ladder latter two threaten OHKO's. Common partners for Gholdengo are Amoonguss, Incineroar, Pelipper, Urshifu-R, and Calyrex-I. Amoonguss and Incineroar aid in Gholdengo's setup by offering the combination of redirection with healing and Fake Out with Intimidate respectively, while Urshifu-R and Pelipper can check the aforementioned Gholdengo checks how?. Calyrex-I is a common Gholdengo partner since Gholdengo can help deal with threats to Calyrex-I such as Zamazenta-C and Zacian-C.
Luna mentioned on disc to you to extend the paragraph so do this too. AV raging bolt could be added but not completely necessary.

Nasty Plot Gholdengo is an amazing setup sweeper, thanks to its excellent defensive typing, Make It Rain, and Good as Gold, which gives it invaluable immunity to the immensely popular Spore from Amoonguss I would add Taunt here, and TBH this is very flowery but trying not to reword things I dont need to. A well-positioned Nitpicky, why well positioned? You even need this? Gholdengo has good matchups into common threatening Threatening is kinda meaningless and its defo not threatening to Dengo, these mons are common not that. restricted Pokemon such as Calyrex-I and Zamazenta-C. Nasty Plot is used to allow Gholdengo to set up and sweep opposing teams. Metal Coat is used to allow an OHKO on Flutter Mane with unboosted Make It Rain, while Leftovers gives Gholdengo more longevity is used to set up Nasty Plot easier It doesen't help set up Nasty Plots, it makes it live longer. Remember to switch the order of these. The Special Attack investment allows Gholdengo to always 2HKO Zamazenta-C with +2 Shadow Ball, while the defensive investment allows Gholdengo to almost always live Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R while in the rain, to always live a High Horsepower from Calyrex-I, and to always live a Flare Blitz from most Incineroar, I would just cut this, maybe keep the Incineroar mention in and add living Mystic Water Origin Pulse. Your running 252/4, you dont mention that and the Speed investment allows Gholdengo to outspeed Modest Pelipper. Tera Water is used to resist common Water- and Fire-type moves such as Heat Wave from Chi-Yu, Flare Blitz from Incineroar, Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R, and Water Spout and Origin Pulse from Kyogre You already live Surging and Flare Blitz, why tera just for that? What are you doing to Chi Yu or Kyogre? TBH can you just say Water is a good defensive typing also resisting fire type attacks, while Tera Normal is used for an immunity to threatening Ghost-type moves such as Astral Barrage from Calyrex-S and Shadow Ball from Flutter Mane. Remember to switch order

Common checks to Gholdengo consist of Incineroar, Chi-Yu, Assault Vest Raging Bolt, and Calyrex-S. Chi-Yu and Calyrex-S are huge threats to Gholdengo since both of them can force Gholdengo to Terastallize, since if it does not, Gholdengo would be OHKO'd outspeed and threaten an OHKO on Gholdengo. Raging Bolt is a check to Gholdengo since thanks to its Assault Vest, it can with Assault Vest easily shrugs off attacks from Gholdengo, while Incineroar walls Gholdengo since it resists both of Gholdengo's STAB moves and can fire back with super effective Knock Off and Flare Blitz Cutting. Common partners for Gholdengo are Amoonguss, Incineroar, Pelipper, Urshifu-R, and Calyrex-I. Amoonguss and Incineroar aid in Gholdengo's setup by offering the combination of with redirection with and Pollen Puff healing and as well as Fake Out with and Intimidate respectively This ones kinda subjective, I had a hard time reading the previous sentence and I think this is a bit clearer, while Urshifu-R and Pelipper can deal with Calyrex-S, Chi-Yu and Incineroar, the aforementioned Gholdengo checks, thanks to Pelipper's access to Drizzle+Weather Ball and Urshifu-R having the ability to outspeed and OHKO all 3 with Surging Strikes. Can't you split these 2 sentences? Calyrex-I is a common Gholdengo partner since Gholdengo can help deal with threats to Calyrex-I such as Zamazenta-C and Zacian-C.
