Stats & Training
Raw HP carries Gogoat's bulk more than the defenses do. Defense barely registers. But that HP pool covers for it. A tough to catch Mount Pokemon that yields 2 HP EVs on a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
It can sense the feelings of others by touching them with its horns. This species has assisted people with their work since 5,000 years ago.
These Pokémon live in herds in mountainous places. The victor in their contests of clashing horns will become the leader of the herd.

How to Get Gogoat in Sun & Moon
Gogoat Guide
In Sun & Moon, Sap Sipper changes the entire equation for Gogoat. The 531 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a tank. Horn Leech with Grassiumz is the standard set.
Sap Sipper is what you want on Gogoat. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Grass Pelt) work on paper but Sap Sipper is what makes Gogoat worth using.
At base 68 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Gogoat is a physical attacker with base 100 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a tank.
In Sun & Moon, run Horn Leech, Earthquake, Leech Seed, and Rock Slide on Gogoat. Horn Leech is the most common pick at 25% usage. This set covers the tank role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Gogoat joined the series in X & Y and has been available in 6 titles so far. With 5 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
