No big changes this time around, but I did update **GOODRA** with **Thunder Punch** and the suddenly awesome **CETITAN** with **Powder Snow**, who becomes a sudden top contender.
Hi I may have been one of the guys with Gholdengo. That thing is dirty if you get it a good Switch, even with Hex just being an okay Charge move.
Big thing is Gholdengo has a way to nail almost all of the major carriers for its weaknesses in MLP, so an Energy advantage goes a long way for it. Pack a good response to the spammier Ground types, like your own Swampert or Chesnaught, and feast on the various Dragon Breath and Charm users.
The ability to grind down so many Pokemon on top of its normal wins is what bears it out so well. Since Ghost is neutral into most of the Meta, it’s almost impossible to not lose at least 1 Shield to a well positioned/Energy-up Gholdengo if it Hexes out a Fairy or a Dragon and then has a Focus Blast/Near 2 Shadow Balls to hurl into the response.
Those with a Coin Bag, I highly recommend hunting it as much as possible (especially with the Gold Lure Coins from this event to cover evolving), it’s really fun to pilot with a Dragon Lead (my best Cup last season was MLP with Dragonite, Ghold, and Ape, though the latter could be pivoted for a better Ground/Steel answer)

I have these at lvl 50 with charge moves: rhyperior, metagross, s.dragonite, salamence, excadrill, florges, conkeldurr
I want to make a florges team, what else should I use?

Time to spend some dust!
