Strategy & play
How Goodra plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is Ability-based draw/search. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Needs Water / Psychic Energy to attack — note its own type is Dragon, so build for the attack cost, not the type.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Sliggoo first).
How to beat Goodra
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.

About this card
"Its form of offense is forcefully stretching out its horns. The strikes land 100 times harder than any blow from a heavyweight boxer."
Ability: Slimy Room
As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, whenever your opponent tries to attach an Energy card from their hand to a Pokémon, they must flip a coin. If tails, your opponent discards that Energy card instead of attaching it, and this doesn't use up their Energy attachment for the turn.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Goodra is real?
Goodra is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
