Goodra Deck Strategy Guide

Set Up Goodra and Indeedee ex

Your ideal set up would consist of a Goodra ex in the Active Spot with enough Energy to attack, and two Indeedee ex in your Bench. This setup can result in up to 80 HP worth of healing each turn, allowing you to shut out attackers with low damage output.

Increase Goodra's Durability with Lillie and Heavy Helmet

The combination of Lillie and Heavy Helmet can make Goodra a tank that's difficult to take down.

Delay Your Opponents with Goomy

Goomy's Ability, Sticky Membrane, can increase the Defending Pokemon's Attack Cost. This compensates for its low HP, by slowing down your opponent's progress, and delaying a KO on Goomy for a turn.

How to Beat Goodra Decks

Disrupt the Deck's Strategy

Frequent use of Red Card and Sabrina can put it on the back foot, and allow you enough time to set up your board.

Deal Lots of Damage

Pokemon that can consistently deal high damage may be tough for Goodra decks to go up against.

Mega Blaziken ex, for example, can deal 120 damage and inflict Burn. This results in a total of 140 damage for the turn, which is enough to KO Indeedee ex, and put Goodra in KO range on the following turn.
