Sliggoo
Say it: SLI-ggoo
Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand
Sliggoo is the Soft Tissue Pokémon — Dragon before Goodra (Kalos) or Hisuian Goodra (Hisui). In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Goodra — not a finished raid attacker. Dragon helps against other Dragons; Ice, Dragon, and Fairy hit Dragon hard. Catch Goomy/Sliggoo from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve.

Sliggoo (#705) is a Dragon Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the middle stage of Goodra. Trainers almost never power Sliggoo for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Goodra or Hisuian Goodra. Against Sliggoo, lead with Ice, Dragon, or Fairy. Stats, type chart, moves, and counter picks below use our Game Master snapshot.
