Goodra-Hisui @ Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armor
Level: 50
Tera Type: Flying / Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 244 Def / 4 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Body Press
- Acid Armor
- Life Dew
Hailing from ancient Sinnoh, Hisuian Goodra's superb defensive typing and monstrous bulk makes it one of VGC's premier defensive pivots. Acid Armor in tandem with Body Press lets it wreak havoc, transforming Hisuian Goodra into a formidable physical sponge that even Urshifu-R and Iron Hands struggle to break. That said, Hisuian Goodra is still vulnerable to strong physical attackers prior to setting up, making Grimmsnarl and Amoonguss popular partners. Tera Flying perfectly patches up its innate weaknesses, allowing it to better stay in against Urshifu-R, while Tera Fairy is also a naturally good defensive Tera type. Life Dew and Leftovers give Hisuian Goodra immense longevity especially behind dual screens, and Heavy Slam provides a consistent STAB attack against Pokemon that resist Body Press, most notably OHKOing Flutter Mane. However, Hisuian Goodra still struggles against other Ghost-types such as Basculegion and Gholdengo. Rocky Helmet Amoonguss is also annoying to face, as it can cripple this set with Spore while redirecting Body Press.
