Biggest violation of all time was not giving OG Goodra a secondary typing. Imagine Dragon/Water or Dragon/Poison on Goodra. Also Goodra being the only defensively oriented pseudo-legendary Pokemon but not getting Recover is just disrespectful.
-
The fact that this pokemon gets so sad when lonely makes me heart melt.
-
Goodra not being a poison type is the weirdest thing ever. Especially being introduced in the same gen as the fairy type
-
The whole goodra line is perfectly friend shaped and I love them
-
Hisuian Goodra seems to be everything Goodra wanted to be. It’s been so much fun in singles OU and was even a Regieleki counter while that was in the tier
-
If Sap Sipper raised the higher attacking stat, it would have been a great ability.
-
Goodra is definitely a top 3 favorite Pokémon for me
-
The Hissuian variant is already putting in solid work for me as a defensive tank. The thing is super hard to take out and actually provides good team support with Dragon Tail preventing opponent set ups.
-
I would love if one of its abilities became Poison Heal
-
Ngl goodra should have either had a secondary water type or poison type
-
I've been waiting for this day so I can do this. Ah, Goodra. A dragon that's very specially bulky. And according to the anime it's nice and loves to hug. And, and..... It's body oozes GREEN SLIME!?
-
Goodra is a personal favorite of mine (it’s my 2nd favorite Pokémon). It has the perfect combo of cool and cute. It’s such a likable Pokémon, idk how someone can dislike it. It’s a fan-favorite that’s not on the same level as something like your typical hyped up mons. I use it a lot on my teams, despite the notion of how underpowered it can be. Yet, it’s always put in work for me (whether life orb hydration or assault vest gooey), so I can’t be disappointed. And now the Goodra-H is out, there’s no stopping my love for this mon
-
The only mono-type pseudo-legend. It was the perfect opportunity to make the first dragon-fairy. water and poison would also work.
-
I love goodra. It’s probably the most friend shaped Pokémon I’ve ever seen, and that’s all I need
-
It is strange that it didn't talk about the combination of Goodra and Comfey in VGC during the period of the 8th Generation. That combo was actually good.
-
I wish Goodra could've been dragon/fairy (or poison), it's a giant cute dragon- but then it probably would've had more spotlight than Xerneas
-
One of my favorite pseudo legendaries ❤
-
I've always wondered why Goomy and its evolutions aren't poison-type, given it's an ooze. It's still very cute, though.
-
Arguably one of the cutest pseudo legendaries out there!!!
