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.
It can sense the feelings of others by touching them with its horns. This species has assisted people with their work since 5,000 years ago.
These Pokémon live in herds in mountainous places. The victor in their contests of clashing horns will become the leader of the herd.
Gogoat Weakness
FragileFire, Ice, Poison, Flying, and Bug-type moves hit Gogoat for super-effective damage. 4 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Sap Sipper grants an additional Grass immunity, reshaping the matchup chart.
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.
How to Evolve
Breed with Gogoat to get Skiddo eggs easily using 195 partners from the Ground egg group. Notable egg moves include Defense Curl, Grassy Terrain, Milk Drink and 1 more.
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.
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.
