Sliggoo is a Dragon-type Pokémon, No. 705 in the National Pokédex, introduced in Generation 6 (Kalos region).
« A creature given to melancholy. I suspect its metallic shell developed as a result of the mucus on its skin reacting with the iron in Hisui's water. »
Its story
Lifestyle
Toothless, it sprays prey with mucus that dissolves anything, then slurps them up. It comes from Goomy, lives near marshes, and becomes Goodra.
In the anime
Ash's Goomy becomes Sliggoo, then Goodra, while helping put out a fire in the rain.
Name origin
The species suggests slugs, nudibranchs, and perhaps Lou Carcolh, a serpent-mollusk of folklore. Sliggoo may blend slick, slug, or goo.
