Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Goomy's spread. It leans mixed with Sp. Def out front. And you'll get 1 Sp. Def EV per KO for it. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
The weakest Dragon-type Pokémon, it lives in damp, shady places, so its body doesn’t dry out.
It’s covered in a slimy membrane that makes any punches or kicks slide off it harmlessly.
Goomy Weakness
Goomy is weak to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy. The Dragon typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Sap Sipper grants an additional Grass immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Goomy's special bulk (base 75 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Ice, Dragon, Fairy |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fire, Water, Electric, Grass |
