Base Stats
Nothing fancy in Goomy's spread. It leans mixed with Sp. Def out front. And you'll get 1 Sp. Def EV per KO for it. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Most of a Goomy’s body is water. A membrane covers the whole Pokémon to prevent it from shriveling up in dry weather.
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
