Hisuian Goodra VGC Team Guide | Pokémon Champions
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server presents a deep dive into a competitive Hisuian Goodra team build. This guide explores synergy with Rillaboom, Floette, and Volcarona, highlighting the effectiveness of Grassy Seed and Body Press. Community members discuss meta-game adjustments and seek advice for countering Trick Room teams, making this an essential read for players looking to refine their competitive strategies.
Hisui Goodra: My favourite pokemon that I've wanted to use. Does great into the current meta, so I'm thinking a bulky offensive mon. Grassy seed lets it do more damage with body press and take less damage from Sneasler CC. Draco Meteor nukes the current dragon meta mons but since there is Floette I'm open to swaps.
Rillaboom: Obvious after grassy seed. Fake out lets goodra get damage off and the other two grass moves are standard. U-Turn lets me swap into another supporter or attacker because I didn't need HH
Floette: Mega Mon that synergises with Rillaboom. Bulky calm mind set lets me handle special hits more effectively and it helps H-Goodra out with fighting matchups.
Volcarona: Supportive set with rage powder for sneasler(not the best matchup all around💔) tailwind for extra needed speed, struggle bug for needed bulk and fiery dance because I never love reducing ur only offensive stat for quick damage. If volca stays around, then it needs to also actively contribute.
Milotic: Bulky life dew and coil set, but dragon cheer I thought was just funny cuz I can use it on goodra to bypass the spa drop on draco. Prob gonna change it but it was funny at the time.
Last slot I'm open to suggestions with! I have a bad time with trick room so if u have a suggestion I'm free.
Discord sent us an expired image link.
I was actually just looking into building Hoodra tdy so this comes at an excellent time lmfaooo
I had Rocky helmet on it for the current one I’m drafting but grassy seed makes so much more sense idk why I didn’t think of that 😅
Looks pretty sound the only thing I can think of rn is that the team looks a little iffy into yard, especially the bulkier spreads and ones that carry SB
Yeah true
Maybe mega floette could go or I do something else with the 6th slot
Or maybe I Rep milotic for something
I feel like milotic is fine
If I did I could do basc
Ooo true
But ur getting slammed hard by intimidate then
True
Maybe tack on gambit as the last mon if you do that?
Yeah maybe
Orrr
Female basc
But crazy but maybe
I might just keep milotic tho
Yeah I feel like that’d probably be best
Then my 6th slot needs to be an answer for yard
Just gonna spitball here u could like swap volc for aerodactyl and then add incin as the last mon. U still get Tailwind and still get fire water grass core, though volc redirection seems nice given Floette is calm mind variant
I think I need to rep something
Goodra stays
Rillaboom goes well with goodra
Floette does damage but it needs a few turns to get going
Volca is good bulk
Milotic is also support and helps with intimidate
This is also just hitting me now but this team looks like it’d had a really odd matchup into sneasler in general
Yeah I noticed that one
Maybe aero would fit better somewhere
Or ig pelipper also
Lefties over grassy seed
Imo
Yeah I feel like aero would cover both issues we’ve discussed as it one speeds and one taps both things we’ve mentioned
Cus you can easily get boost yourself
Or dont need any
Lefties is more generally helpful
Tru tru
This is a very bulky stallish tean
Yeah it is
Thing is goodra is a bulky stallish mon
Oh 100%
i was just sayin that
Yeah so I kinda leaned into that when building
I tried offensive av goodra
In reg F
Hoodra
I would like av but it don't exist
Sounds like something I’d break a controller over ngl
Maybe I'll rep floette
Aero sounds good and then the last one has to be a mega
Special attacker cuz obvi
Hm
Garch z?
Just spit balling and also
Imagine 100% crit garch z😭
Prob not tho
None taken
Shell armor was for the set with body press cuz I don't want crits, but I see what u mean
I'm building around goodra
Aight then
It was dogshit
It did 0 damage
I faced a hoodra tean
It did well
Imma look up some good teams to partially larp
Discord sent us an expired image link.
Yea
☠️
I can get the teamsheet if u want it
The team was cool
No they wouldnt
Sure lemme see
Not using absol tho
Why
It was anti sneasler tech lwk
I don't like or want it
Why
Looks a tiny bit demonic
Whats bad about my goat
Mega Glimmora is good
Truke
No it doesnt
Your a idiot
If it has a chance to survive gambit sucker lorb 32+
And the fact that it has an angel counterpart plays into that
And I keep myself away from demon pokemon
I think goodra and rilla are a staple pair
Is it 1-0
I agree
In pokeball tier lr
Brody played ONE game
What thw actual fuck is wide lens dengo
I agree
Just run lorb
95% accurate is not that big deal
And its only make it rain
Your not running a innacurate ghost move
Anyways I'm also keeping volca
I dont thonk so
Prob gonna give it grassy seed
I like volca rilla hoodra
Actually maybe
Id prefer to not be egotistical and flex my achievements
Why are we lying?
ive acquired the teamsheet
Ok
Its a hard counter vs non hh rilla
Just ironpress brochacho

Here
Im ngl psycho cut absol swept my team
For once i agree
You dont counter zard sun
At all
I'll do sap supper
Then I'll prob go with that team sheet set
Ye gooey is bad vs sneasler imo
It was a good team but you can probably flex it a little.
I'm swapping absol and incin, maybe floette but we'll see
He played really good not letting me touch his basculegion lwk
Volca I like more here
Imo incin is the part holding hoodra together more
Then some kinda trick room counter
Because it can lower attack of sneaslers while becoming a wakl
Tru tru
I just like the h-goodra rilla volca core
It's got wabi sabi
True
Then basc for the first 4 and now the mega
I really liked basc
Basc gives me the f-w-g core
I think floette is good here
Flower veil for rilla and it helps with H-Goodra fighting weakness
Now something that resists fire with a tr counter I think
Maybe incin
Ykw I'll do incin
Incin is cool
You need a rain mu to btw
I mean basc
There's that
Basc isnt enough into arch teams
Fairs
But also
IronPress Goodra?
Maybe rockslide sneasler
I feel like body press + Draco would be enough to get it done as long as it’s not boosted no?
Wtf is iron press
Iron def + body press?
Oui
But I'd use shelter in this scenario
Pelipper would be a concern tho, sneasler could work
Sneas rockslide?
Yeah
Ig no fake out on it
You got incin and rilla
Nvm
Who would I rep tho...
Wym
The team would be
Hoodra
Incin
Volca
Rilla
Floette
Basc
