How to use Gourgeist Super in the current VGC format?

**To use Gourgeist Super effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Ghost/Grass type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Gourgeist Super appears as a prominent choice 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 Super fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Frisk, Occa Berry and Relaxed 32/0/8/0/26/0. Its frequent moves include Trick Room, Poltergeist, Trick-or-Treat, Protect, Power Whip, and Seed Bomb. 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 Super has important weaknesses to dark 2x, fire 2x, flying 2x, ghost 2x, ice 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Tyranitar-Mega, Kingambit, Incineroar, Farigiraf, and Sylveon appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
