Pokemon of the Week: Goodra!

      The Pokemon of the Week is...Goodra! Goodra is a Dragon Type Pokemon with the Abilities Sap Sipper and Hydration, and has the Hidden Ability Gooey. You can't catch it, although you can catch its previous forms.
      In X and Y you can catch Goomy in Route 14. You can also catch Sliggoo either on Route 19 or a Dragon Type Friend Safari. You can't catch any Pokemon in the Goodra line in Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. So if you have ORAS and want Goodra, you'll have to trade, transfer, or get on the GTS.
                Goomy                                               Sliggoo                                       Goodra


      To turn Goomy in Sliggoo, just level up Goomy to level 40. To turn Sliggoo into Goodra, level it up to level 50 while it's raining. 
       The best Ability for Goodra is Hydration. It cures all non-volatile stat conditions if it is raining. The best Nature for Goodra is Gentle. It increases Special Defense and lowers Defense. After you obtain a Gentle Goomy/Sliggoo/Goodra Super Train it so its Special Defense and Special Attack stats are maxed out. 
      Here's the best moveset I could come up with: Rain Dance, Dragon Breath, Dragon Pulse, and Muddy Water. Rain Dance is for the Hydration Ability. Dragon Breath and Dragon Pulse are Special Attacks that Goodra will get a STAB from. And Muddy Water is so it can have a move that hits multiple Pokemon at once.
      A good Item for Goodra are the Wise Glasses. The Wise Glasses boost the power of Special Moves by 10%. Another good Item is the Assault Vest. It boosts the holder's Special Defense stat, but won't let you use Status Moves. So if you let your Goodra hold the Assault Vest, you can't use Rain Dance, which makes the Hydration Ability useless.
      So that's how I'd use Goodra! Be sure to leave a comment on what next week's Pokemon of the Week should be or other ways to use Goodra!
