Gourgeist is listed as a type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Gourgeist fits in a VGC team.
The most common build highlights Insomnia, Coba Berry and Hardy 32/0/2/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Trick Room, Trick-or-Treat, Poltergeist, and Will-O-Wisp. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.
Defensively, Gourgeist has important weaknesses to the types shown in the overview above. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as golurk-mega, kangaskhan-mega, kingambit, armarouge, and incineroar appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
