Goomy in Pokémon Legends: Z-A: Catch, Location, Stats, Evolution, and Shiny Guide

What is Goomy in Pokemon Legends: Z-A?

Goomy is a Dragon-type Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A and appears in the Lumiose Pokedex as #165. 
It looks small and harmless, but don't let that fool you. Goomy is the first step toward Goodra, one of the tankiest Dragon Pokemon in the game.

Because of the slimy layer covering its body, attacks often slide off, which fits both its lore and playstyle. It's not fast or strong early on, but it grows into something very powerful.

What are Goomy's basic details?

Here are Goomy's core details in Pokemon Legends: Z-A:

• Type: Dragon
• Height: 1'00”
• Weight: 6.2 lbs
• Lumiose Pokedex Number: #165

Its design and behavior make it feel more like a rare creature than a common wild Pokemon, which is why many players actively hunt for it.

Where does Goomy spawn in Pokemon Legends: Z-A?

Goomy only appears during rainy weather, and this is the most important thing to remember. If it's not raining, Goomy will not spawn at all.

You can find Goomy inside Lumiose City, not in Wild Zones. From my experience, it often spawns at night, but rain is the real requirement.

What are the confirmed Goomy locations?

There are two reliable spawn locations when it's raining:

Location 1: 
On the rooftop of Vert Sector 9, across from the Stone Emporium. 
You'll need to look carefully, as it can blend into the environment.

Location 2: 
On the hill between Jaune Sector 10 and Jaune Sector 12, in the east side of Lumiose City. 
It appears in a corner near a dead-end wall between buildings. If it doesn't show up, fast travel away and come back.

A small tip from experience: when you see rain start, make a manual save before approaching Goomy. If the catch fails, reload the save and try again.

How do you get Goomy if it's not raining?

Sadly, you can't force the weather. Rain is random. 
The best way is to keep playing normally, do side tasks, and always stay alert when rain starts. Standing still and waiting also works if you're patient.

This makes Goomy feel rare, even though it's technically not legendary.

What are Goomy's base stats?

Goomy's stats explain why it feels weak early but survives well:

• HP: 45
• Attack: 50
• Defense: 35
• Special Attack: 55
• Special Defense: 75
• Speed: 40
• Total Combat Points: 300

Its Special Defense is the standout stat. This makes it great against special attackers once leveled.

How does Goomy evolve in Pokemon Legends: Z-A?

Goomy has a three-stage evolution line:

• Goomy evolves into Sliggoo at Level 40
• Sliggoo evolves into Goodra at Level 50 during rainy weather

Yes, rain matters again. If it's not raining, Sliggoo will not evolve, even at Level 50. Plan your evolution carefully.

Is Goomy worth using on your team?

Early on, Goomy can feel slow and fragile. But if you're patient, it pays off. 
Goodra becomes a bulky Dragon that can take hits and deal strong special damage.

If you enjoy long-term team building instead of quick power spikes, Goomy is absolutely worth it.

How do you get a shiny Goomy?

Shiny Goomy follows the same spawn rules as normal Goomy:

• It only appears during rainy weather
• It spawns in the same Lumiose City locations

Because weather-based spawns are already rare, shiny hunting Goomy can take time. Saving before encounters and resetting helps a lot.

Some players prefer trading instead of grinding. U4GM is the best place to buy shiny Pokemon, and shiny Goomy is available there if you want to save time.

How do you get an Alpha Goomy?

Alpha Goomy is much harder to find. It does not appear consistently and may be tied to special conditions or rare spawns during rain.

If you're hunting Alpha versions, expect a long search. This is one of those Pokemon where patience really matters.

Can you buy shiny Goomy instead of catching it?

Yes, you can. If you don't want to rely on weather luck, you can buy a shiny Goomy Pokemon from U4GM, with prices starting around $2.49. It's a practical option for players who value time more than grinding.

Summary

Goomy in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is a rain-only Dragon Pokemon found inside Lumiose City. It's tricky to catch, slow to grow, but evolves into the powerful Goodra if you're patient. Whether you hunt it naturally, shiny hunt it, or trade for one, Goomy is a rewarding Pokemon for long-term players.
