Until I can think of a better one, I'm letting mine hold Black Sludge for when it uses Trick.

Considering the role of Gourgeist is determined by its size, you may want to include that.

I'll probably go with the Big Root.

@ I suck qq Oh yeah, I just about to mention that

Answer 2

Right now, Leftovers is one of the best items for Gourgeist. Since it has great Defensive capabilities and access to Leech Seed, health will be recovered very quickly. If you cannot use Leftovers, Rocky Helmet or Sitrus Berry are items to consider.
