Between Sap Sipper and Grass typing, Gogoat carves out a strong competitive niche. It absorbs Grass moves and boosts its Attack, which gives it an edge most Pokemon in its stat range don't have. 5 type weaknesses to keep in mind.
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.

Evolved from Skiddo. Gogoat is the final form in this two-stage line. A massive partner pool for breeding via one egg group. Eggs are average hatch time. HP grew the most through evolution (+57 over Skiddo), and Gogoat peaks at 531 total stats.
Breed with Gogoat to get Skiddo eggs easily using 278 partners from the Ground egg group.

One boost from Bulk Up and Gogoat gets dangerous fast. The Adamant nature targets max HP and Attack, and Sapsipper backs the whole approach. Bulk Up and the remaining moves handle most of what's left standing.
Coverage runs deep. Gogoat can hit 10 types beyond STAB, including Ground and Normal. The offense anchors on Leaf Storm and Solar Beam while TMs handle everything else.

Don't skip the egg moves. Gogoat picks up Defense Curl and Milk Drink only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Solar Beam and Leaf Blade while coverage across 8 types adds range.
decent spawn rates across 56 locations for Gogoat in late-game routes. Scroll the sorted list below and pick whichever spot sits closest to your current route. The rate differences between locations are worth comparing.
Where To Catch Gogoat in Scarlet & Violet
The path to Gogoat starts with Skiddo at Lv. 14-60 via walking encounters. 2 catchable stages total, with locations listed for each one below.
No wild encounters for Gogoat in Legends: Z-A. Bring Skiddo over from X or Scarlet, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.
No wild encounters for Gogoat in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Bring Skiddo over from X or Scarlet, then level through the stages. Each step in the chain is laid out below.
Gogoat can't be caught in Sun & Moon. Transfer Skiddo from X or Scarlet and evolve through the 2-stage line to get it. The step cards below map the full chain.
Sap Sipper changes the entire equation for Gogoat. The 531 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a tank.
Watch for Infernape (Fire), Kyurem (Ice), and Roserade (Poison) when using Gogoat. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Flying and Bug-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
Skiddo evolves into Gogoat at level 32. Gogoat is the fully evolved form. At 531 BST, it's got solid stats to work with.
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 mixed attacker — base 100 Attack and 97 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a tank.
Gogoat appears in 6 games, including X & Y, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.
Gogoat joined the series in X & Y and has been available in 6 titles so far. With 4 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
