'''Goodra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌメルゴン''' ''Numelgon'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

==Biology==

Goodra is a bipedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is coated with slime. Most of its body is pale purple with a darker purple underside. It has bright green eyes, two green spots on each cheek, a relatively long neck, and a short, rounded snout. On top of its head are two pairs of antenna-like horns. The foremost horns are small nubs, but the hind horns are longer, thicker, and curve down its neck. The tips of the larger horns are slightly curled. It has proportionally short limbs with two digits each and a large, thick tail with a curled tip. Along each side of its tail are three green spots. A pale green slime is usually visible dripping from its chin and arms. It is known for having a great affinity for water, being able to live within water with no difficulty at all, as well as dive and surf all around the area.

==Trivia==

* Every one of Kalosian Goodra's base stats are exactly double those of {{p|Goomy}}, with Kalosian {{p|Sliggoo}}'s being halfway in between (rounded up).

===Origin===

Like its pre-evolutions, it could also be based on soft-bodied gastropods, such as {{wp|slug}}s and {{wp|nudibranch}}; in particular, the {{wp|Glaucus atlanticus|"blue dragon" sea slug}}; Goodra's Pokédex entry may be a reference to slug's retractable eyes, which retract when they are in danger.

Alternatively, it could be based on the {{wp|yōkai}} called {{jwp|出世螺|Shussebora}}, meaning "ascended trumpet shell", which is a {{wp|Triton's trumpet|trumpet shell snail}} that lives 1000 years in the mountains, 1000 on the plains, and 1000 at sea, then will ascend and turn into a dragon.

====Name origin====

Numelgon may be a combination of 滑る ''numeru'' (to be slippery), ''gel'', and ''dragon''.
