Gourgeist-Large is legal in Regulation M-B and did not appear often enough on the ladder to produce usage statistics. It is legal and simply out of favour, which makes it unmeasured rather than unusable.
Gourgeist-Large is number 711 in the National Dex, a Kalos Pokémon, Ghost and Grass with a base stat total of 494 — 142nd of the 234 Pokémon legal in this regulation. Its best stat is Defense at 122, 25th in the format; its weakest is Sp. Atk at 58, 185th. It can have Pickup, Frisk and Insomnia. The Champions module tiers it UU.
It sits in a 2-stage line: Pumpkaboo-Large → Gourgeist-Large. Not all of that line is legal in this regulation — Pumpkaboo-Large is not.
As Ghost and Grass, 5 of the eighteen attacking types do extra damage to it. It resists 4 and is immune to 2. The board above has all of it. 6 other legal Pokémon share the same typing and the same board: Sinistcha, Gourgeist-Super, Decidueye, Trevenant, Gourgeist and others.
Smogon publishes no head-to-head checks-and-counters data for doubles formats, so this list is computed, not measured: the most-played Regulation M-B Pokémon carrying a damaging move of a type Gourgeist-Large takes extra damage from.
Gourgeist has 4 legal formes in this regulation and they share a typing, so the only thing separating them is the stat line. It is not the extreme in any stat — it is the middle option. The others are Gourgeist-Super, Gourgeist and Gourgeist-Small.
At level 50 with a boosting nature and full investment, Gourgeist-Large reaches 133 Speed; left uninvested with a neutral nature it sits at 89. Invested, it outruns 5 of the 20 most-used Pokémon in the regulation when they are invested too — which is the comparison that decides who moves first.
It weighs 14 kg, so Grass Knot and Low Kick hit it for 40 base power. That is a real consideration in a format where both are common.
Gourgeist-Large learns 82 moves in the Champions data. 41 of them do damage, across 12 of the eighteen types, and 14 share a type with it and so get the same-type bonus. Its hardest-hitting same-type move is Power Whip at 120 base power, though the biggest number in the pool is Explosion at 250. It also has priority: Shadow Sneak at +1.
That pool is what the team builder reads from when you seat it, and the damage calculator will take it as the attacker with the form already chosen.
