Strategy Overview
Goodra's ability and typing, which give it a Grass-type immunity and Electric, Fire, and Water resistances, combined with great bulk let Goodra act as a fantastic sponge that can check offensive threats such as Roserade, Raikou, Ninetales, and Salazzle and switch into bulky Water-type Pokemon such as Milotic. On top of this, Goodra's respectable Speed gives it the ability to run Choice Scarf, outpacing Choice Scarf Tyrantrum and Aerodactyl. Goodra's solid Special Attack and amazing coverage make Choice Specs also great, as it renders Goodra hugely threatening to bulky offense and balance teams by hitting a wide range of Pokemon. However, Choice Scarf Goodra is pressured by popular Fairy- and Steel-type Pokemon such as Florges and Registeel, which are easily able to switch into most of its attacks and can use Goodra as setup fodder if it isn't careful about what it locks itself into. Furthermore, Goodra has no reliable recovery and is easily chipped away by status, entry hazards, and Pokemon that it can check.
