Most time on the field
Gholdengo

In its own words

Gholdengo has fainted, and Clefable is my last Pokémon, so switching it in is the only legal action.
Shortest explanation on record.
Our Dark and Steel moves are both resisted by their Kingambit, so an unboosted Kowtow Cleave only does about a quarter of its HP. Switching to Gholdengo would mean taking a super-effective Kowtow Cleave or Sucker Punch at 57% HP, which likely faints it. Swords Dance is safe here because we take little from their resisted hits. Their Sucker Punch fails against a status move, and +2 lets us beat both Kingambit and their back line.
Longest explanation on record.

"Garchomp mega-evolves into a Swords Dance wallbreaker. Dragapult hits immediately with Life Orb boosted attacks and can pivot with U-turn. Scarf Gholdengo outspeeds threats and can Trick the Scarf onto walls, while its typing and ability block hazard removal and status. Rotom-Wash pivots with Volt Switch and burns physical attackers, which sets up the late game for Kingambit (Supreme Overlord, Sucker Punch) and bulky Bulk Up/Rage Fist Annihilape."

"Mega Garchomp and Lum Berry Dragon Dance Dragonite are the main physical breakers. Kingambit uses Black Glasses to clean late with Supreme Overlord and Sucker Punch, and Choice Scarf Gholdengo revenge-kills and blocks hazard removal while spreading damage with Make It Rain. Bulky Rotom-Wash pivots with Volt Switch and burns physical attackers. Annihilape grows stronger through Bulk Up and Rage Fist while healing with Drain Punch and Leftovers."
