Goomy (Japanese: ヌメラ, HepburnNumera) (GOO-mee[1]) is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Goomy is a small gooey slug-like Pokémon. It is known as the weakest Dragon-type; its body is very sensitive, covered in a slimy membrane, so it must live in damp, shady places to avoid drying out. Its body is purple in color, the top half being a lighter shade than the underside. Goomy has two feeler-like horns atop its head, tiny black eyes, and a wide mouth with a green spot on either cheek.

Behavior[]

Goomy are timid creatures that stay in damp areas due to dehydration risk, and like to hide themselves from danger by squeezing their soft bodies into crevices and tree hollows. They mostly feed on leaves.

Natural abilities[]

Despite being described as the weakest Dragon-type Pokémon, Goomy's slimy body allows them to endure punches and kicks, which slide off harmlessly, lowering the speed of any foe who makes contact with it when attacking. They must always be hydrated or else they would die of suffocation. They can use their antennae to detect nearby enemies and therefore avoid conflict..

Evolution[]

Goomy evolves into Sliggoo at level 40, its final evolution form is Goodra at level 50 while raining outside the battlefield (using moves or abilities to cause rain in a battle cannot make it evolve). In Generation VII and Legends:Arceus, Fog will also work.

Pokédex entries[]

  • X

    The weakest Dragon-type Pokémon, it lives in damp, shady places, so its body doesn't dry out.

  • Y

    It's covered in a slimy membrane that makes any punches or kicks slide off it harmlessly.

  • Omega Ruby

    The weakest Dragon-type Pokémon, it lives in damp, shady places, so its body doesn't dry out.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    It's covered in a slimy membrane that makes any punches or kicks slide off it harmlessly.

  • Sun

    The weakest of all Dragon-type Pokémon, it's unable to breathe if its skin dries out, so it sticks to shady places.

  • Moon

    Its source of protection is its slimy, germ-laden mucous membrane. Anyone who touches it needs some thorough hand-washing.

  • Ultra Sun

    It uses its horns to check out its surroundings. They’re very sensitive, so if you grab them, it will feel a strong shock and be unable to move.

  • Ultra Moon

    Its body is mostly water. If it dries out, it will die, so it’s always sitting with perfect stillness in the shade.

  • Sword

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

  • Shield

    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.

  • Legends: Arceus

    Goomy hides away in the shade of trees, where it’s nice and humid. If the slime coating its body dries out, the Pokémon instantly becomes lethargic.

  • Scarlet

    Most of a Goomy’s body is water. A membrane covers the whole Pokémon to prevent it from shriveling up in dry weather.

  • Violet

    Goomy's horns are excellent sensory organs that cover all five of Goomy's senses. Goomy picks up on danger from the movement of the air.

Appearances[]

Ash's Goomy

Ash's Goomy.

Ash Ketchum caught a Goomy as his fourth Pokémon from the Kalos Region. It later evolved into Sliggoo in An Oasis of Hope. It evolved again into Goodra in Good Friends, Great Training!.

Trivia[]

  • It is referred to as the weakest Dragon-type Pokémon, but has the same base stats as Dratini, Bagon, Gible and Deino, and the Dragon-type Pokémon with the lowest base stats is Noibat.
    • Coinicidentally, both Noibat and Goodra were caught by Ash in Kalos.
  • Goomy and Kalosian Goodra were designed by TCG artist Saya Tsuruta.

Origin[]

Goomy may be based on slugs, limpets or slime monsters. Its Dragon type may come from the blue sea dragon, also known as Glaucus atlanticus, a species of sea slug. Its design may also reference the pop culture depiction of a "living slime" (much like Grimer and Muk). It also resembles the extinct Wiwaxia, a species of soft bodied animals.

Etymology[]

Goomy comes from goo and slimy or gummy.
