Goodra (Japanese: ヌメルゴン Numelgon) 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, Drizzle or Primordial Sea will not trigger this evolution. It is the final form of Goomy.

Biology

Goodra is a pudgy bipedal Dragon-type Pokémon that appears to be made of goo. Its ventral portion is mauve, while its dorsal side is lavender. It has bright green eyes, and two green spots on either side of its face and three on either side of its thick tail which curls inward. Goodra have two sets of antennae atop their head that are capable of retracting. The front pair of antennae are short, skinny and stand upright, while the back pair are long and thick, drooping downward behind its head and curling upward toward their tapering ends. They are very dextrous and can be used for grabbing onto things, and can be extended to almost 3 times Goodra's height, as seen in the anime. A pale green slime drips from Goodra's chin and arms. Goodra is capable of throwing very strong punches. It is very affectionate and, when it hugs its Trainer, leaves them covered in goo.

Trivia

  • Goodra is the only pseudo-legendary of a single type.
    • It is also the only pseudo-legendary that is immune to a type only because of one of its possible Abilities; all other pseudo-legendaries have at least one type immunity because of their own types.
  • Tied with Mega Latias, Goodra has the highest base Special Defense of all Dragon-type Pokémon.
  • Goodra shares its category 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).
  • Goodra's line are the only pseudo-legendaries to have a signature ability.

Origin

Goodra, due to its Dragon type, 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; Goodra's Pokédex entry may be a reference to slug's retractable eyes, which retract when they are in danger.

Alternatively, it could be based on the yōkai called Shussebora, meaning "ascended trumpet shell", which is 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. It may also be a play on good or hydra.

Numelgon may be a combination of 滑る numeru (to be slippery), gel, and dragon.
