Shiny Goomy, evolution chart, 100% perfect IV stats, and Goodra’s best moveset in Pokémon Go

If happy little dragons are your thing, July 2024 is the month for you! This month sees Goomy Community Day in the world of Pokémon Go. Dragon-type Community Days are always popular, but when you look at the smile on Goomy’s face, it makes you want to turn up even more! Omg, it’s so cute. We mean, it’s trying to eat you, but ignore that. Just look at its happy little face!

Goomy is one of the few genuinely good all-rounders in Pokémon Go. Most excel at either PVP or PVE, but Goodra, Goomy’s final evolution, is decent in both Raids and Go Battle League. Sounds like there’s something for everyone this Community Day.

But first, what is a Community Day? For the uninitiated, this is a recurring Pokémon Go event that celebrates a specific Pokémon while boosting shiny rates and offering an exclusive move, along with a whole host of other bonuses!

Goomy will be spawning en masse throughout the event, making it the best chance to catch a Goomy with 100% perfect IV stats. If you achieve this feat, it’s a good idea to know Goodra’s best moveset.

Even if you’re not fussed on this month’s Community Day Pokémon, there are multiple other bonuses that may get you out and about, including double catch candy and XL candy chance.

Goomy’s 100% Perfect IV Stats

Goomy’s Community Day is the perfect opportunity to find a Goomy with perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go. For Goomy, the CP values corresponding to perfect 15/15/15 stats are as follows:

• Level 30 (wild CP maximum) – 836 CP
• Level 35 (weather boosted CP maximum) – 906 CP

Goomy’s wild CP value aligns with your current Trainer Level until you reach Level 30, so, since the majority of the player base is above this level, we keep to these values for simplicity. If you’re currently beneath Level 30, these values will be different.

Perfect stats in Pokémon Go depend entirely on your intended use for the Pokémon. Perfect for the Master League and raids means exclusively 15/15/15 – the best possible stats that a Pokémon can have.

Meanwhile, perfect for Great League and Ultra League are different, as the goal is to reach the highest level possible without exceeding the CP cap (1500 for Great League and 2500 for Ultra League). Since attack raises CP more than defense, the highest-level Pokémon in these leagues tend to have low attack and high defense.

If you want to run Goodra in Go Battle League, you’re looking for different stats:

• A perfect Great League Goodra is 1/14/14, reaching 1500 CP at Level 16
• A perfect Ultra League Goodra is 0/12/12, reaching 2500 CP at Level 27
• A perfect Master League Goodra is 15/15/15, reaching 3963 CP at Level 50

Goomy Evolution Chart: What Do Goomy and Sliggoo Evolve Into?

Goomy, the Soft Tissue Pokémon, is essentially a Dragon slug that evolves into a Dragon snail, which in turn evolves into a gooey Dragon. It’s a unique evolution line that manages to be both cute and interesting.

Goomy evolves into Sliggoo with 25 Goomy Candy. Sliggoo then evolves into Goodra with 100 Goomy Candy and a Rainy Lure Module. While you are supposed to be able to evolve it in the rain, this feature has been a little buggy in the past.

Goomy’s lore is intriguing, with the official Pokédex entries providing some fun facts:

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

Sliggoo: The swirly protrusion on its back is filled with vital organs, including its brain and heart.

Goodra: It loves the rain and can often be seen walking around on plains and in mountains during rainy days.

However, the darker side of Goomy’s lore suggests some rather gory details about its eating habits and interactions with other Pokémon.

Goodra’s Moves and Best Moveset Recommendation

Goodra is a decent Pokémon in Go Battle League, but that’s not much of a surprise. As a mono-Dragon type, it has few weaknesses and good coverage with both Water and Grass-type attacks in the lower leagues. Is it the best Dragon available? No. Is it worth running in the right team? Absolutely.

Historically, Goodra has utilized the Fast Move Dragon Breath and the Charged Move Aqua Tail. The second Charged Move can be either Power Whip or Draco Meteor, depending on whether you’re playing in Great, Ultra, or Master League.

Goodra is also getting an exclusive Community Day move: Thunder Punch. However, this Electric-type move may not be as effective, so it’s often better to stick with the tried and tested moves.

Goodra’s Full Move Set

Goodra Fast Moves:

• Dragon Breath (Dragon)
• Water Gun (Water)

Goodra Charged Moves:

• Aqua Tail (Water)
• Power Whip (Grass)
• Draco Meteor (Dragon)
• Sludge Wave (Poison)
• Muddy Water (Water)

Goodra Legacy Charged Moves:

• Thunder Punch (Electric)

What Do Shiny Goomy, Sliggoo, and Goodra Look Like?

The opportunity to catch a shiny form of the highlighted Pokémon is one of the biggest draws of any Community Day event. This is thanks to the increased shiny rate for the event’s featured Pokémon, combined with the natural increase in shiny encounters when catching Pokémon of the same type.

Shiny Goomy, Sliggoo, and Goodra’s shiny forms were released as part of a previous event, and while they may be rare, they are sought after by collectors.
