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.
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
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.
