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.
The weakest of all Dragon-type Pokémon, it’s unable to breathe if its skin dries out, so it sticks to shady places.
Its source of protection is its slimy, germ-laden mucous membrane. Anyone who touches it needs some thorough hand-washing.
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 no compatible partners via one egg group. Evolving adds up to 300 stat points total.
How to Evolve
Breed Goomy from the Dragon egg group. Pass egg moves like Acid Armor, Counter, Curse and 3 more to offspring.

Best Locations
Goomy's encounter pool splits between Moon and Sun. You've got 10 walking spots at Lv. 18-34 total, but your version determines which ones actually show up.
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.
