It uses its horns to check out its surroundings. They’re very sensitive, so if you grab them, it will feel a strong shock and be unable to move.

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.
