Gholdengo

Gholdengo in the anime and origin

Dot's Gimmighoul evolved into Gholdengo in HZ120 during a battle against Chalce. Its golden humanoid appearance, together with its position as the 1,000th Pokémon in the National Pokédex, may allude to award statuettes, while its golden surfboard and dreadlock-like appendages suggest a surfer motif.
