Strategy Overview

Goodra's incredible Special Defense allows it to serve as an effective special tank while still being able to dish out decent damage thanks to its base 100 Attack and 110 Special Attack stats. Its useful defensive typing and ability Sap Sipper back up Goodra's natural bulk and makes it to a perfect Celebi counter plus also giving it three resistances and one immunity. Goodra has great coverage options; fortunately, Goodra also has the stat distribution to run both physically and specially oriented sets. However, its mediocre Defense stat combined with a lack of reliable recovery outside of Rest gives it stiff competition in its roles when compared to other Dragon-types such as Hydreigon and Kyurem both of which have greater Speed and reliable recovery in Roost.
