Goodra (Japanese: ヌメルゴン Numerugon) is a Dragon-type pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

It evolves from Sliggoo starting at level 50 when leveled up during rain in the overworld. Rain instigated by Rain Dance or Drizzle will not trigger this evolution. It is the final evolution of Goomy.

Biology

Goodra is a bipedal Pokémon. Its ventral portion is mauve, while its dorsal side is pinkish. It has 3 green spots on its tail and 2 on the side of its face. It appears to be made of goo. Goodra is capable of throwing very strong punches, and can also retract its horns. It is very affectionate and, when it hugs its Trainer, leaves them covered in goo.

In the TCG

Goodra has not yet been featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Trivia

• Goodra is the only Pseudo-legendary of a single type.
  • Goodra is also the Pseudu-legendary with the Special Defense
• Goodra has the highest base Special Defense of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
• Goodra shares the same species name with Horsea, Dratini, their evolutions, and Salamence. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
• Goodra's base stats are all twice those of Goomy, with Sliggoo's being half way in between (rounded up).

Origin

Goodra, due to its dragon typing, elongated body shape, and retractable tentacles used for battling is probably based on the Lou Carcolh, a mythical serpent/mollusk creature from French folklore. Like its pre-evolutions, it could also be based on soft bodied gastropods, such as slugs and nudibranch; in particular, the "blue dragon" sea slug. Another possible basis is the youkai called Shussebora, or "ascended trumpet shell": a trumpet shell snail that lives 1000 years in the mountains, 1000 on the plains and 1000 at sea will ascend and turn into a dragon.

Name origin

Goodra is a combination of goo and dragon.

Numerugon is a combination of 滑る numeru (to be slippery) and dragon.
