What is the best moveset for Goodra in Pokemon Sword and Shield?

Fire Blast

As a pure Dragon-type Pokemon, Goodra only has three weaknesses. One of those weaknesses is Ice.

Fire Blast has less accuracy but is an amazing coverage move against Ice-type Pokemon. It can also do damage to a variety of other types. There is a chance of it leaving a burn, which will help make up for Goodra's lower Defense by weakening the affected Pokemon's Attack.

Sludge Wave

Sludge Wave is another coverage move for Goodra. With a weakness to Fairy-type moves, having a devastating Poison-type attack is a must. Much like Fire Blast, Sludge Wave has a chance of poisoning the target Pokemon. It hits all Pokemon in Double Battles.

Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt is never a bad option for more coverage. This can do solid damage to any Pokemon that doesn't resist it. It will also help take on those pesky Water and Flying-type Pokemon. There is a chance it could leave the target paralyzed.

Draco Meteor

Draco Meteor is the only STAB attack in this moveset. It is the pinnacle of Dragon-type moves. Draco Meteor does massive damage to opposing Pokemon and will cover the Dragon-type weakness that Goodra comes with.

Players must use it wisely, though, as their Special Attack is lowered each time the move is called upon.
