Gogoat Legends: Z-A Guide
In Legends: Z-A, Sap Sipper changes the entire equation for Gogoat. The 531 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a tank. Horn Leech with Leftovers is the standard set.
Sap Sipper is what you want on Gogoat. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Grass Pelt) work on paper but Sap Sipper is what makes Gogoat worth using.

In Legends: Z-A, run Horn Leech, Bulk Up, Earthquake, and Milkdrink on Gogoat. Horn Leech is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the tank role with a mix of damage and utility.
