This is something I've wanted to do and has been requested for a while and, well, here it is. I know this isn't gonna fly with it's 9.5 rating, but...

Eldritch Blast is the closest I could get to getting Make It Rain to work. I suppose I could have just made a custom description for it but I couldn't really think of anything at the monent. I suppose Eldritch Blast works since in the games Make It Rain can hit multiple targets.

Coin Entity is what Gholdengo is classified as in the pokedex.

Good As Gold prevents Gholdengo from being affected by status moves, so I felt the Yuan-ti's infamous Magic Resistance trait worked here. That alone is gonna make people hate this and probably want it changed (not that I'd mind).

Hopefully this golden boy doesn't destroy any campaigns. --MetalShadowOverlord (talk) 04:10, 25 March 2023 (MDT)
