Stats & Training
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’s horns are excellent sensory organs that cover all five of Goomy’s senses. Goomy picks up on danger from the movement of the air.
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.
