[SET COMMENTS]
Goodra serves as a solid special wall, leveraging its massive bulk and pure Dragon typing to properly check dangerous threats like Hadron Engine Sandy Shocks, and Sheer Force Thundurus and Gengar its Hisuian counterpart falters against. Knock Off provides utility and a reliable way to threaten Ghost-types like Gholdengo and Gengar, and Dragon Tail enables Goodra to accumulate chip damage and force out threatening setup sweepers like Volcarona and Manaphy. Draco Meteor provides a powerful neutral STAB move, Ice Beam allows Goodra to better threaten Zapdos and both Thundurus formes, and Scald provides an option to spread chip damage and potential burns to dissuade switch-ins. Thunderbolt allows Goodra to threaten Corviknight directly, while Earthquake allows it to OHKO Iron Moth and Heatran. Goodra suffers from having low physical bulk, meaning physically defensive teammates like Corviknight and Intimidate Quaquaval are recommended to handle them; these teammates also provide entry hazard removal, which is greatly beneficial for its survivability. Goodra also fails to check Walking Wake and Enamorus-T as a special wall, meaning it pairs well with teammates like Empoleon and Well-Baked Body or Earth Eater Gholdengo to handle these threats.
