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.

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.

  • 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.
