Can a Timid Nature be run on Goodra?

Question

I found a 31/x/x/31/31/x Outstanding potential Sap Sipper Goomy randomly and I want to train it up to a Goodra. It came with a Timid Nature, And I want to know if it is viable on Goodra and if I should breed for a better Nature. What set should it run?

Answer 1

To be honest, Timid is probably the least workable nature Goodra can get, except maybe Jolly. However, the key word is workable. A timid Goodra has the potential to catch opponents of guard by running a Choice Scarf set, and it is especially surprising because most Goodra don't run any speed investment at all.

Goodra @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sap Sipper
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Sp Atk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast/Flamethrower
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast/Thunderbolt

This set is rather unconventional, especially as your Goodra, lacks a maximum speed IV, so you may want to breed for another nature, and try to also obtain maximum defense, but this set still can work if used right.

Okay, thank you.
