    Best Nature for Hisuian Goodra Explained

    Speed is not as big of a factor

    While a speed increasing nature is often considered for battles in mainline Pokemon games, it doesn't play as big of a factor in Legends: Arceus due to every Pokemon's access to the Agile and Strong Styles. Make up for lower speed by planning around your turn order.

    Best Moves for Hisuian Goodra Explained

    Draco Meteor and Flamethrower are the best moves for Hisuian Goodra with reliable power, accuracy, and PP. The Fire/Dragon type coverage is also completely unresisted by all Pokemon in Hisui.

    This moveset also takes advantage of Shelter which allows Hisuian Goodra to be a bulky attacker. This offers great utility for Hisuian Goodra to tank hits while you may heal your other team members, or wait for your dropped stats from Draco Meteor to be restored.

    Rest gives Goodra a way to restore health and remove any status conditions that will hinder its survivability. This defensive utility also does well against the battle with Volo providing key resistances Roserade and Hisuian Arcanine. It also receives neutral damage from Dragon-type moves from Giratina and Garchomp, but Hisuian Goodra has to be wary of Ground-type moves.
