Dragon Pokémon

Dragon

An amazingly friendly Pokémon, but if left to itself, loneliness overcomes it, and it oozes gooey tears.

Strategy Overview

  • Goodra possesses titanic special bulk that lets it even take boosted super effective special attacks and retaliate back.
  • Its massive movepool makes it very customizable to take on Pokemon the rest of its team is weak to.
  • Goodra is also an effective check against most forms of weather, as rain, sun, and hail teams tend to mostly use special attacks that Goodra can shrug off.
  • Sap Sipper allows it to come in for free on Grass-type attacks, and Goodra's movepool lets it immediately threaten their users.
  • A mediocre Speed stat and a relatively poor Defense stat make Goodra very vulnerable to fast physical attackers, and if it isn't hitting foes super effectively, its damage output is relatively poor.
