Goomy sits at the start of its evolution line — not yet at full power, but that changes fast. Most trainers push through to Goodra as fast as possible. Known as the Soft Tissue Pokemon. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets.
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.
Goomy hides away in the shade of trees, where it’s nice and humid. If the slime coating its body dries out, the Pokémon instantly becomes lethargic.
Goomy Weakness
AvgGoomy is weak to Ice, Dragon, and Fairy-type moves. 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.
Goomy kicks off a three-stage evolution line through Sliggoo all the way to Goodra. For breeding, takes forever to hatch with a small partner pool via one egg group. Evolving adds up to 300 stat points total.
How to Evolve
Breed Goomy with 8 breeding partners from the Dragon egg group.

A compact toolkit overall. The offense runs through Draco Meteor and Outrage for Goomy, with Water and Poison coverage and more doing what it can. Don't expect versatility from this one.

Best Locations
At 300 BST, Goomy is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Sliggoo before bringing it to any serious fight.
Goomy can evolve into Sliggoo and Hisuian Sliggoo depending on the method. Goomy is the base form in a 5-stage evolutionary line.
Goomy gets Sap Sipper, Hydration, and Gooey. But Sap Sipper is the one that matters — it's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Goomy is leaning toward the special side (base 55 Sp. Atk). Fragile — can't afford to take many hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 40 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go.
