You really can teach an old dog new tricks! Gouging Fire serves as a fearsome setup sweeper, with the given EV spread allowing it to outspeed Zamazenta after a Dragon Dance. Heat Crash is used over Flare Blitz due to its lack of recoil; paired with Earthquake, it provides a move combo that hits the majority of the metagame for neutral damage, being able to hit the likes of Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Mega Tyranitar for super effective damage. Morning Sun can be used for longevity, while Dragonium Z with Outrage provides Gouging Fire with a powerful STAB attack that can OHKO Pokemon such as Alomomola, Rotom-W, and Gliscor. Tera Ground can be used to gain STAB on Earthquake to help break through Toxapex and Mega Tyranitar, while Tera Water can be used as a defensive option to ease setup versus the likes of Landorus-T and Mega Diancie. Despite its access to Morning Sun and good bulk, the lack of Heavy-Duty-Boots means that Gouging Fire will often take heavy chip from entry hazards, making entry hazard removers such as Great Tusk and Landorus-T beneficial partners.
