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.

LZA Goomy Best Moveset

Two evolutions from Goodra's 150 Sp. Def tank profile. 45 HP and 35 Defense can't survive contact, though 75 Sp. Def absorbs special hits briefly. The moveset doesn't threaten at 50/55 offenses. Dragon TermStab waits for better stats.

Pokedex Entry

Most of a Goomy’s body is water. A membrane covers the whole Pokémon to prevent it from shriveling up in dry weather.

Goomy Legends: Z-A Guide

  • In Legends: Z-A, For a casual playthrough, Goomy works as a placeholder. Dragon coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Sliggoo. That's where the stats start mattering.

Game Availability

Since X & Y, Goomy has been obtainable in 8 games. A Generation 6 debut means a shorter history, but Goomy has appeared steadily across every generation since.
