Hisuian GoodraLost Origin #134 Pokémon Card

Hisuian Goodra is a Dragon/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII as part of the Pokémon Legends: Arceus game, which reimagines the Sinnoh region as ancient Hisui. It is the regional variant of Goodra, evolving from Hisuian Sliggoo, which in turn evolves from Goomy. Unlike its Kalosian counterpart, which is a pure Dragon-type, Hisuian Goodra developed a protective steel shell due to the harsh environment of the Hisui region, specifically the damp and cold conditions of the Crimson Mirelands and Coronet Highlands. This adaptation makes it exceptionally resilient and gives it its unique dual typing. In the games, Hisuian Goodra is often found near bodies of water or in damp caves, reflecting its slug-like physiology and preference for moist habitats. Its Pokédex entries highlight its melancholic and clingy nature, often described as lonely and prone to lashing out if separated from those it cares about. Despite its formidable shell, it is known for its gentle disposition towards its chosen companions. Its role in the game is that of a powerful defensive Pokémon, capable of shrugging off many attacks. In the anime, Hisuian Goodra has made appearances showcasing its strength and unique design, further endearing it to fans.
