I'd like to give a formal apology to Gholdengo. Covert Cloak Ghold is still the truth even after all this time, holding the tier together against other mons like Crunch Zama, Garg, + stopping Nuzzle Hat which is an otherwise annoying mon. The first two are all the rage rn from what I'm seeing based on other ppl's VRs and SPL. Pair CC Ghold with Lando-T and that POS Zama will never give you trouble again!
Mon is still overrated IMO (overall more difficult to slot in than Gking / Pult / King) but with the Dog's recent dominance, its place in the metagame can't be denied, esp on BO. On balance, it feels more awkward to slot in, but eh, probably a personal issue.
I am seeing more calls to suspect Zama lately from higher level players, which I am worried about. I understand its SPL WR is high, but Zama is a mon I feel we need in the metagame to curb the otherwise brainless HO teams we are seeing. We can't keep getting rid of our Gambit checks!
