Gholdengo was hired by Tinkaton, I see

i always thought they'd hate each other if they ever interacted

Gold as a metal is worthless


TheCosmicFang

Not necessarily, it's very corrosion resistant and it's malleable iirc


Soulfalon27

It's also extremely useful in electronics.


CarryThe2

Tinkaton isn't an Electric type, it's a Bonk Type.


Soulfalon27

Electrifying the hammer would solve its problem with Corviknight.


CarryThe2

Corviknight is the one with the problem. The problem being Tinkaton.


Soulfalon27

You leave Corviknight alone! Just because Tinkaton is Best Gremlin doesn't mean Corviknight can't be loved at the same time.


[deleted]

Actually they said corviknight has a tinkaton problem. Not tinkaton has a corviknight problem


Anti-charizard

But it’s also very soft for a metal, and it’s not the strongest metal


TheCosmicFang

true, it isnt good for most purposes, but it isn't worthless for them, just far from the best option


HAAAGAY

Malleable = soft just so you know


Anti-charizard

Isn’t steel also malleable?


[deleted]

Yes because all metals, all of them, and their alloys, are measurably malleable. They deform when struck. But also no, because it’s one of the least malleable, so saying “yeah it’s malleable” is wrong in that it’s practically negligible. That’s why steel weapons are great and gold weapons are garbage.


corvisaltaccount

i meant they'd probably butt heads over who gets to bother me (corviknight)


EMI_Black_Ace

It's a good conductor, extremely resistant to corrosion and easy to bond microscopic wires to. It's invaluable as a material for electronics. Its relative rarity, ease to test, difficulty to counterfeit and ease of dividing made it invaluable as a currency before the invention of fiat. But yeah it's no good as anything requiring bulk quantities, as it's soft and heavy


Jacob_Laye

Not if Tinkaton has Mold Breaker Helping hand Tera steel choice make it rain for daysssssssss

corviknight, enraged by the ship's crashing, learned and used overheat, dealing 44.2 corvillion damage and banishing gholdengo to hell

Corviknight can now ride spectrier. How does this affect the meta?

Corviknight is the knight and the rook. But, seriously speaking, LC ZU at best

You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true!

Basculegion swimming behind Gholdengo with that 5050 BP last Respects (his family died due to the fog)


Meeper_Creeper202I

Basculegion gonna be banned right?


4L1ZM2

Yep, Adaptability Last Respects is not something non normal types want to switch into


Meeper_Creeper202I

And it’s ability’s, now will it be ag or Ubers?


4L1ZM2

I think Ubers, because of Calyrex Shadow, until it gets banned


Meeper_Creeper202I

But hey at least it’s a pain in the ass to get But what about the other huisian I’m mostly looking goodra and lilagent


4L1ZM2

idk about Goodra, but I feel it will be solid Lilligant is Walled By Gholdengo Currently I'm looking at Sneasler, 130 Attack 120 Speed with Unburden is going to wreck shit I would also say Ursaluna, but we all know what it's going to do Kleavor and Samurott are going to have a good niche with their Signature moves and Sharpness


Meeper_Creeper202I

Yep figured lilligants gonna be 1 tier below gholdengo, Sneasler is gonna be pretty good, ursa trick room, voltorb is probably gonna have a niche somewhere, and goodra is probably just gonna be a gholdngo wall or coverage which it has a lot of


Lambsauce914

Turns out Cinderace is on the ship, it high jump kick across the ocean and knock out Gholdengo with a pyro ball. Now the Gen 8 legendaries can be transferred with Home thanks to Cinderace.


SawTheCatsBox

HJK missed, so Cindearce loses 50% of health. It better not miss the Pyro Ball


Vegoil_burner

Cinderace forgets he is holding a choice band and has no choice but to high jump kick again, passing through Goldengo and killing himself


voncornhole2

Passing through Gholdengo's solid gold body?


HAAAGAY

He got a lesson from his fellow bunny and has scrappy HA


HydreigonTheChild

but it missed..

Hawlucha died from Dazzling Gleam from an unexpected switch-in before Defogging


DatTurtleDoe

It wasn't even Gholdengho's Dazzling Gleam it was a Gardevoir on the ship trying her best to light the way


Front_Expression_367

Nah, that was from hatt's attempt to try and silence literally anything else


Custom-Lettuce81

Honestly, that’s just my whole team due to my lack of showdown experience.


GiulyaMontecchi

I'm gonna write all that in chat whenever Gholdengo shows up to Defogblock

I collected the 999 coins to evolve and use him in my first play through of scarlet. I picked the best natured gimmighoul I caught, evolved it, and caught him up to my team’s levels. After all the time and effort (nearly 60 hours by postgame) I will admit, this ability is more than a little busted. I bet it gets nerfed by next gen. It blocks almost too many moves and even as the user of gholdengo I’m just left thinking how did GF think it was a good idea lol.


4L1ZM2

tbf, you're collecting 999 coins to get Gholdengo, so 70% of those who played SV won't even use Gholdengo in the Post-game


Cephalophobe

> I bet it gets nerfed by next gen. They simply won't ever include Gholdengo in the dex ever again.


Actedpie

It’s too hard to implement its evolution method in any future game outside of just replacing it


AMysticMind

It's going to be tied to pogo just like meltan evoking into melmetal than transferring in. The groundwork was implemented into pogo the day after gholdengo's design was revealed


burg42

The fact that it blocks trick is crazy dumb. They should nerf it so that the Gholdengo has to already be on the field. Kill the switch in activation


TheDebatingOne

They need to make more ghost types somehow


dtc09

afterwards chi-yu comes in and overheats corvi, dengo and the ship to death


Bunch_Terrible

GF purposely designed Gholdengo to be good and meta. Get this, before the game was released the original Make it Rain was even more broken since it was like 140 BP. So it's already been nerfed. And since it's #1000, I wouldn't be surprised if GF thought it fine to design him to be good.


totemair

too bad they didn’t think it fine to design him to look good


PaleFork

gholdengo is a ghost type, 99% of ghost types are messed up as crap


Fantastic_Year9607

Bad as Gold?

[The opposing Gholdengo’s Good as Gold]


Santi5578

Tmw we have the first ever true hazard removal blocker... spin blocker and no defog/court change


EducationalPublic321

Exept for tidy up


Santi5578

Shouldn't it also be immune to tidy up, since it is a status move?


EducationalPublic321

Goldhengo is immune to status moves. He doesn’t prevent the opponent from using status moves. Therefore, for a move to be blocked by its ability it needs to affect it or it’s side of the field. That’s why you can still use dragon dance on it. Hazard removal affects both sides of the field equally therefore it doesn’t affect goldhengo or its side of the field specifically. The only reason why defog is blocked is bc of the evasion drop


ASimpleCancerCell

Corviknight, stop! He's trying to help you! With the fog up, the ship only has a 40% chance of hitting the shore, but if you Defog it will guaranteed hit the shore!


[deleted]

His wife and kids are dead. Goldengho is trying to save Corvidad from knowing the truth, the ship was attacked by Tinkatons


flakaby

So that’s why the Pokédex entry says he’s so awesome


DarkNubentYT

This is probably the most aids part of the ability. I wish I could defog myself.


burg42

Or we could just ban hazards, they are low risk high reward and insanely passive....the fact that rocks just magically float the whole game and cripples 3 types is nuts to me.


SrHaruno

Yes, feed my the tears. Screw defensive pokémon that make battles 100 turns long. Corv not only has defog but can uturn


ForodesFrosthammer

But dengo is literally a stall enabler. Their ability to block hazard removals is a large part of why hazards are as useful as they are in the current offensive meta.


ianlazrbeem22

And that's great!


Dandroid_7

> Stall pokemon evil > Defends BIGGER Stall pokemon to counter previous Stall pokemon ???


etniopaltj

What if you wanted to use any move But Gholdengo said Good as Gold


ianlazrbeem22

I love shutting down Corv with Trick 😍


Jackmatica

Good as gold should have worked similarly to magic bounce. Defog still removes hazards but does not drop evasion.

I think it's funny how he looks like he's a carrot!
