Sliggoo

Description

The Pokémon Trading Card Game introduced Sliggoo as card number 76 in the 2014 Phantom Forces expansion, offering trainers a reliable Dragon-type option. This Stage 1 evolution evolves directly from Goomy and boasts 80 Hit Points, providing a sturdy presence on the battle stage. The card is printed with an Uncommon rarity symbol, making it a common target for collectors assembling the base set. In gameplay, Sliggoo offers versatile utility through its unique attack suite. The Colorless Gooey attack allows players to heal 30 damage from their Pokémon, serving as a defensive tool to keep the creature in play longer. Alternatively, the WaterFairyColorless Gentle Slap attack deals 40 damage, providing a straightforward offensive option against a wide variety of opponents. With a retreat cost of 3, trainers must consider energy placement carefully when maneuvering this Pokemon during turns. Collectors often seek this card to complete the Phantom Forces collection or to utilize its specific mechanics in constructed formats. The Pokédex lore notes that Sliggoo drives away opponents with a sticky, dissolving liquid, reflecting its defensive Gooey ability. As a staple of the Generation 6 lineup, this card remains a recognizable piece of Pokémon history.
