At the recent Atlanta Regionals, I placed 10th with Gholdengo ex, a deck I was very confident in. After lots of testing and tweaking the deck, I was convinced that it was favored into every meta deck. If there was any point of concern, it was Flareon ex, a fringe Tier 2 deck that posed a very troublesome matchup.
However, there was no indication that this deck would be very popular, so I figured it was an acceptable loss to take. I ended up being right, as Flareon was less than three percent of the field.

I never understood why they made Gholdengo so difficult to obtain in Scarlet & Violet. The things I had to do to earn 999 coins. Disgusting. Can barely look at myself in the mirror anymore. Anyway, great article as always

@Dairebt_Lagorve There are so many Gimmighouls around Paldea, both Roaming and Chest forms. It's not that hard to get 999 coins bruh.
 
I've tried every combo with Gholdengo I can think of and always have better luck w/ a straight Gholdengo build. I'll have to try this combo again!
 
I'm trying to make my first deck to start playing the actual TCG with and this is the 3rd Gholdengo ex deck variant I've seen now.

How do I even choose.
