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.

Shiny Goomy

Goomy trades its purple slime for a yellowish-green, and the little blob dragon gets a lime candy makeover. It won't win any awards, but the color is distinct enough to spot in a box full of normals. A decent foundation for the line's better shinies above it.

How do we research these odds?

We check every game where a shiny is possible, then rank each one by the best method available in that game, so the row at the top is the fastest route overall.

Odds marked verified are cross-checked against multiple independent sources before we publish them. Where a rate is not yet confirmed we mark the row pending rather than guess a number.

Goomy Guide

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.
