The pseudo-legendary Pokemon Goodra is fantastic in Pokemon GO. As with all Pokemon in Pokemon GO, to best utilize Goodra, players will need to know which moves are best for it. Goodra is great across the board and is effective in gym battles, PvP matches, and raid battles. It has a powerful pool of moves, but its sole Dragon-typing and wide-ranging move types make it difficult to take advantage of the same-type attack damage bonus (STAB).

Goodra is a fan favorite in the Pokemon series, and this is especially true in Pokemon GO. Fans have been speculating about a Goodra community day since its inclusion in the game, as it has one of the most sought-after shiny forms in the franchise. Goodra can be a difficult Pokemon to get ahold of, as players will need to catch enough of the elusive Goomy to evolve into a Goodra and must also be in proximity of a rainy lure module. Once players do get their hands on one, these are the best movesets for Goodra.

Best DPS Moves For Goodra In Pokemon GO

Goodra is a great Pokemon to use when prioritizing damage. Its huge base Attack stat of 220 allows it to tear into its opponents. It is also able to take advantage of Draco Meteor, one of the best charged attacks in the game, especially when STAB damage bonus is in play.

Naturally, Goodra's best offensive moveset utilizes this attack, as well as a STAB-based quick move.

Move Category	Move Name	Type	Damage	EPS	DPS
Quick Attack	Dragon Breath*	Dragon	6	8	14.4
Charged Attack	Draco Meteor*	Dragon	150	-27.8	50

Best Defense Moves For Goodra In Pokemon GO

Goodra is a great attacker, but an even better defender. It has a base defense stat of 242, allowing it to hold its own against most other Pokemon in the game.

Due to its lack of Dragon-type moves, Goodra's best DPS and Defensive move sets are the same, though this just means it is able to deal high damage in any situation.
