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.

Pokedex Entries

Because most of its body is water, it will dry up if the weather becomes too arid. It’s considered the weakest dragon Pokémon.

Sword

Their horns are powerful sensors. As soon as Goomy pick up any sign of enemies, they go into hiding. This is how they’ve survived.

Shield

Goomy Weakness

Avg

Goomy 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 plenty of partners via one egg group. Evolving adds up to 300 stat points total.

Best Build

Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.

The level-up pool tells the story here. Goomy learns Muddy Water and Iron Tail naturally, plus enough variety that TMs feel like bonuses. Coverage across 10 types extends the reach beyond that.

HARD
  • At 300 BST, Goomy is firmly in pre-evolution territory. Evolve it into Sliggoo before bringing it to any serious fight.

  • Goomy's biggest threats include Kyurem (Ice), Dragonite (Dragon), and Togekiss (Fairy), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. At base 40 Speed, Goomy won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

  • 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.

  • Goomy appears in 8 games, including X & Y, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon.

Since X & Y, Goomy has been obtainable in 8 games. A Generation 6 debut means a shorter history, but Goomy has appeared steadily across every generation since.
