Good as Gold (Ability)

Good as Gold (Japanese: おうごんのからだ Gold Body) is an Ability introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature Ability of Gholdengo.

Effect

In battle

Pokémon with this Ability are unaffected by other Pokémon's status moves. It does not block status moves that target the user; the other side of the field, such as Stealth Rock; or all Pokémon, such as Haze. It does, however, block potentially beneficial status moves from ally Pokémon, such as Helping Hand, Life Dew, and Howl. While Transform does not affect the target, this Ability still causes it to fail.

Memento fails and the user does not faint. Curse used by a Ghost type fails without deducting HP from the user of Curse. Strength Sap fails without even restoring the HP of the user.

Outside of battle

Good as Gold has no effect outside of battle.
