Viscogon Movesets & Wettbewerbs-Sets

Fire Blast hits Celebi and bulky Steel-types such as Registeel, Bronzong, and Steelix hard. Thunderbolt hits Milotic and Togekiss, which would otherwise comfortably wall Goodra, along with other Water- and Flying-types such as Starmie and Crobat. Thunder hits Togekiss notably harder and guarantees the 2HKO against Milotic, which Thunderbolt cannot achieve, at the cost of shaky accuracy. Hydro Pump OHKOes Rhyperior and Chandelure and deals excellent damage to Nidoqueen, Diancie, and specially defensive Incineroar. Sap Sipper allows Goodra to absorb Sleep Powder and Grass-type attacks from Roserade, Vileplume, and Rotom-C, giving it more opportunities to switch in safely. Expert Belt increases Goodra's power against the myriad of Pokemon that it can hit super effectively while not harming its versatility or longevity, like Choice Specs or Life Orb would. A Timid nature is necessary to outspeed Nidoqueen and Toxtricity and Speed tie with Chandelure. Physical attackers that can break down Goodra's specially defensive answers are excellent partners. Heracross and Bewear in particular can obliterate Snorlax, Umbreon, and Registeel with their Fighting-type attacks, and in return Goodra can soften up their checks such as Togekiss and Jellicent. Heracross also can also carry Spikes, which augments Goodra's wallbreaking power greatly. Mimikyu also pairs very well with Goodra, as it can sweep with greater ease once Goodra has weakened their shared switch-ins, such as Steelix, Registeel, and Galarian Weezing. Because of its middling Speed and poor Defense, Goodra is best paired with multiple pivots to enter battle safely. Milotic and Crobat can handle many of the physical attackers that trouble Goodra and pivot it in with Flip Turn and U-turn, respectively. Golisopod can support Goodra with Spikes and Knock Off, revenge kill fast threats such as Flygon and Gardevoir with First Impression, and bring Goodra in for free with Emergency Exit. Electric-type pivots such as Xurkitree and Rotom-C can bait in Grass-types for Goodra to take advantage of, check Milotic, and bother shared checks with Volt Switch and Trick. Finally, Stealth Rock support is valuable to chip Pokemon such as Milotic and Nidoqueen into range of Goodra's attacks; Steelix is a particularly effective partner in this role, as it pressures Registeel, checks Fairy-types such as Mimikyu and Choice Scarf Gardevoir, and benefits from Goodra checking Raikou.

Moves Draco Meteor is Goodra's most powerful STAB move and dishes out high damage on targets hit neutrally by it. Thunderbolt is used to hit Water-type Pokemon such as Mega Blastoise and Araquanid. Fire Blast is used for coverage on Steel-type Pokemon such as Metagross and Registeel. Earthquake allows Goodra to deal with Calm Mind Raikou and more reliably revenge kill Pokemon like Salazzle, as its accuracy is superior to that of Draco Meteor. Ice Beam can be used over Draco Meteor to hit Pokemon like Zygarde-10%, Noivern, Flygon, and other Dragon-type Pokemon for super effective damage without losing stats or having a chance to miss. However, Ice Beam is a lot weaker and leaves no real option to heavily damage foes neutral to Dragon. Set Details Maximum Speed investment, a Timid nature, and Choice Scarf allow Goodra to Speed tie with other Choice Scarf users like Passimian and Gardevoir as well as outpace the entire unboosted metagame bar Mega Sceptile. Sap Sipper gives Goodra an immunity to Grass-type moves, allowing it to switch into Grass-types like Shaymin more easily. A Hasty nature alternatively allows Goodra to keep maximum Speed and some Attack in order to make use of Earthquake better. Usage Tips Goodra should primarily be used as a revenge killer, having the Speed and moveset to take on Pokemon such as Tyrantrum, Noivern, Salazzle, and Zygarde-10%. Make sure to use Fire Blast when predicting Steel-type Pokemon that wish to take advantage of Draco Meteor. If the opponent has a Florges or Registeel, try to predict what moves to use or what switches to make in order to not waste turns dealing little damage. Even though Goodra is offensive, it can still soft check Pokemon such as Roserade and Salazzle. Try to make use of Goodra's bulk and typing to check Pokemon as well as revenge killing. Be aware of status and entry hazards when using Goodra, as it has no reliable recovery. Too much damage over time leaves Goodra open to priority users such as Golisopod, Zygarde-10%, and Honchkrow. Watch out for locking into the wrong move, like Thunderbolt against a team with Dragon Dance Zygarde-10%. Team Options Goodra has the ability to revenge kill and force switches, so entry hazards are good because they cause chip damage to the opponent's checks. Registeel, Metagross, Roserade, and Nidoqueen work especially well, as they also cover Goodra's Fairy-type weakness. Water-types are very good alongside Goodra thanks to its Electric resistance and ability to check Grass-type Pokemon with Sap Sipper. Mega Blastoise and Golisopod work very well with Goodra offensively, whereas Milotic and Slowbro work well defensively and also cover Goodra's weakness to physical attackers. Steel-type Pokemon such as Registeel, Metagross, Bronzong, and Escavalier can switch into Gardevoir and Florges, which check Goodra. Poison-type Pokemon like Nidoqueen, Roserade, and Salazzle are also very good checks to Florges. Fairy-type Pokemon such as Florges and Gardevoir help to remove threats to Goodra like Noivern, Flygon, and Zygarde-10%. Florges and Gardevoir also have the ability to keep Goodra healthy with Wish, Heal Bell, and Healing Wish. Physical walls such as Tangela and Slowbro can work alongside Goodra well defensively, as they are able to make up for Goodra's lacking physical bulk.

Moves Choice Specs-boosted Draco Meteor can put a huge dent into anything that doesn't resist it, being able to 2HKO specially defensive Pokemon such as Araquanid without needing to use Thunderbolt. Fire Blast nukes Steel-type Pokemon, sending Metagross packing as well as 2HKOing Bronzong. Thunderbolt deals with Araquanid more consistently and 2HKOes Milotic after Stealth Rock damage. Sludge Wave prevents Fairy-type Pokemon from switching into Goodra, as it 2HKOes Florges and OHKOes Gardevoir after Stealth Rock. Thunder allows Goodra to hit Water-types harder than Thunderbolt does. It has a chance to OHKO Mandibuzz and Mega Blastoise as well as being able to potentially paralyze faster Pokemon. Ice Beam is an option over Sludge Wave if you have teammates to exploit Florges. Set Details Maximum Speed investment with a Timid nature allows Goodra to outspeed Pokemon such as Mega Blastoise, Tyrantrum, and Necrozma. Sap Sipper makes sure that Goodra can still check some Grass-type Pokemon such as Roserade and Shaymin. Usage Tips Choice Specs Goodra is a powerful wallbreaker, hitting bulky Pokemon such as Milotic, Metagross, and Florges heavily with coverage moves as well as being able to OHKO Pokemon such as Mega Blastoise with Draco Meteor. If you wish for Goodra to break through a team easier, you will need to correctly predict in order to get rid of its checks. Sludge Wave on a predicted Florges or Fire Blast on a predicted Registeel will go a long way towards Goodra winning. Goodra still has a good Special Defense stat, so despite being offensive, it can still check a lot of special attackers like Ninetales and Roserade. Sap Sipper should be used to check Grass-types that rely on Grass-type attacks to deal heavy damage such as Shaymin and Roserade. Team Options Choice Specs Goodra is a wallbreaker and forces a lot of switches, so entry hazard setters are very important. Registeel, Metagross, Roserade, and Nidoqueen work especially well, as they also cover Goodra's Fairy-type weakness. Goodra can remove a lot of bulkier Pokemon, leaving the door wide open for a sweeper. Choice Scarf users such as Gardevoir, Noivern, Flygon, and Shaymin can all take advantage of Goodra's ability to remove walls from the match. Both Shaymin and Gardevoir also help support Goodra with Healing Wish. Goodra still needs support to avoid being revenge killed by heavy-hitting physical attackers. Pokemon like Slowbro and Tangela can help to pivot in on these Pokemon. Fairy- and Steel-type Pokemon work well with Goodra, as they can come in on Dragon- and Fairy-type attacks that threaten out Goodra. Florges and Registeel work well defensively, whereas Gardevoir and Metagross can work more offensively. Goodra's Sap Sipper, as well as its useful Electric resistance, can help Water-type teammates like Golisopod, Milotic, and Slowbro.

Moves Outrage is Goodra's main STAB attack and hits extremely hard in combination of Goodra's decent Attack and a Choice Band; however, it should only be used freely once Steel- and Fairy-type Pokemon have been KOed. Earthquake hits the Steel-types that resist Goodra's STAB, such as Mega Aggron. Fire Punch is another option to hit Whimsicott and Forretress, which are not damaged badly by Goodra's other attacks, for more reliable damage. Superpower is an option to hit Blissey and Mega Aggron harder; however, the Attack and Defense drops can be problematic. Power Whip provides good coverage against bulky Water-type Pokemon such as Vaporeon, Alomomola, Swampert, and Suicune, hitting them for super effective damage. Iron Tail hits Fairy-type Pokemon such as Florges and Sylveon which are immune to Goodra's STAB moves. Set Details Choice Band gives Goodra a massive Attack stat, letting it hit incredibly hard with all of its attacks. Maximum Attack investment and an Adamant nature allows Goodra to dish out a lot of damage from its physical attacks. 44 Speed EVs allow Goodra to outspeed uninvested base 85 Speed Pokemon such as Gligar, Suicune, and Cresselia. Sap Sipper gives Goodra an immunity to Grass-type attacks as well as a free Attack boost upon switching into one. An alternate EV spread of 72 HP / 252 Atk / 184 Spe can be used to outspeed Adamant Honchkrow and OHKO it with Outrage. The remaining EVs are placed into HP, allowing Goodra to tank hits more efficiently. Usage Tips Goodra can freely switch into Grass-type attacks to get a free Attack boost, which, in tandem with Choice Band, makes Goodra an incredibly fearsome wallbreaker with the power to break down even the sturdiest of physical walls. Goodra also works as a great switch-in to special Water- and Electric-type attacks thanks to its phenomenal special bulk and good defensive typing. Team Options Mega Blastoise is a great teammate that can lure in common Grass- and Electric-type Pokemon and attacks, while also providing entry hazard support with Rapid Spin. Mega Aggron can provide a switch-in to physical attacks that Goodra might have problems tanking, while also providing Stealth Rock support. Fairy-type Pokemon such as Sylveon and Florges are free switch ins to the Dragon-type attacks targeted at Goodra. Alomomola is a good teammate to Goodra, as it can lure Grass-type attacks to activate Goodra's Sap Sipper and provides Wish support if Goodra gets low on HP. Fast revenge killers such as Mienshao and Krookodile can beat faster threats that Goodra would be too slow to deal with.

Moves Draco Meteor is Goodra's most powerful STAB attack, and it hits like a truck even without a boosting item. However, this attack lowers Goodra's Special Attack by two stages, and has a 10% change of missing. Dragon Pulse is an option, providing less power than Draco Meteor but not having the nasty side effects that come along with it. Fire Blast hits Steel types, such as Mega Aggron, Forretress, and Mega Steelix, which resist Goodra's main STAB move, for super effective damage. Flamethrower can be used over this for perfect accuracy but less power. Thunderbolt hits bulky Water-type Pokemon such as Alomomola and Empoleon for super effective damage and provides unresisted coverage with Fire and Dragon. Dragon Tail is useful for phazing opposing Pokemon that might attempt to set up. Sludge Bomb hits Fairy-type Pokemon such as Florges and Sylveon which are immune to Goodra's main STAB move, while Muddy Water hits bulky Ground- and Water-type Pokemon. Ice Beam can be used to hit Gligar, while Power Whip is mainly used to hit Swampert. Set Details An Assault Vest boosts Goodra's already high natural Special Defense to extraordinary levels, taking even certain super effective hits incredibly well. Sap Sipper is the ability of choice, giving Goodra a free switch into Grass-type attacks and boosting Dragon Tail's power. Maximum Special Attack investment with a Modest nature lets Goodra hit as hard as possible. 248 HP EVs boost Goodra's good natural bulk, while reducing residual damage. Usage Tips Goodra has free reign to switch into the majority of special attacks, taking most of them fantastically well, which makes it a fantastic pivot into special attackers such as Chandelure and Shaymin; take this advantage to hit whatever switches in extremely hard with one of Goodra's attacks. Be extremely wary about attempting to stay in against physical attacks, as even with investment into bulk, Goodra's mediocre Defense leaves much to be desired. Team Options Alomomola can switch freely in to most physical attacks aimed at Goodra while also giving Wish support. Goodra can also switch into a plethora special attacks that might threaten Alomomola. Swampert not only provides fantastic type synergy with Goodra, but it can also lay down Stealth Rock to help it wear down its foes. Florges and Aromatisse can provide Wish support as well, as Goodra can get worn down easily throughout the battle. Mega Aggron has phenomenal physical Defense, being able to comfortably switch into many physical hits that threaten Goodra. It can also provide Stealth Rock support so Goodra has an easier time wearing down its foes.

Moves Draco Meteor is Goodra's main STAB and hits with monstrous power in combination with Goodra's decent Special Attack and Choice Specs. Fire Blast hits Steel-types such as Forretress, which resist Goodra's STAB moves. Sludge Bomb hits Fairy-type Pokemon such as Florges and Sylveon, which are immune to Goodra's STAB moves, for super effective damage. Thunderbolt hits bulky Water-type Pokemon such as Vaporeon, Empoleon, and Suicune, while Muddy Water can be used to hit Ground- and Fire-type Pokemon such as Krookodile and Chandelure for super effective damage. Set Details Choice Specs gives Goodra a massive Special Attack stat, letting it hit as hard as possible in combination with a Modest nature and maximum Special Attack EVs. 44 Speed EVs allow Goodra to outspeed uninvested base 85 Speed Pokemon such as Gligar, Suicune, and Cresselia. Sap Sipper is the ability of choice, giving Goodra an immunity to all Grass-type attacks. An alternate EV spread of 72 HP / 252 SpA / 184 Spe can be utilized to outspeed Adamant Honchkrow and OHKO it with Draco Meteor. The remaining EVs are placed into Goodra's HP stat to help back up its natural bulk, thus allowing it to take incoming attacks better. Usage Tips Goodra's phenomenal special bulk makes it a fantastic pivot into special attacks, and Goodra's strong offensive presence allows it to hit whatever switches in decently hard. Goodra likes to switch into Pokemon it can handle extremely easily, such as Shaymin and Chandelure. Be wary of staying in against strong physical attacks, as Goodra's mediocre Defense leaves it extremely vulnerable to strong physical attacks. Team Options Alomomola is a fantastic teammate that can not only pass Wishes to Goodra but can also switch in on physical attacks that Goodra would have trouble tanking. Similarly, Goodra can switch in on threatening special hits, such as Shaymin's Seed Flare, that Alomomola does not like to stay in against. Swampert can provide Stealth Rock support to help wear down foes for Goodra, while also providing good type synergy. Florges and Aromatisse are good partners as well, as they can provide cleric support and Goodra cannot recover HP on its own. Mega Aggron not only has fantastic physical bulk but can also provide Stealth Rock support.
