The Dragon type is known for such ferocious monstrosities as Hydreigon, Palkia, Dragonite, and Salamence. Goomy has literally no Dragon-like qualities, being a pink-purple slug making it more akin to the Poison type. Many people do not like how Goomy has basically butchered the Dragon’s reputation. Look at this equation:

Goomy = DragonCharizard ≠ Dragon

If Goomy can earn the title of Dragon and Charizard can’t, what’s the point of him? (Note that this is your typical genwunner argument). Charizard literallylookslike a dragon. Goomy looks like a snail. And snail ≠ dragon.

Goomy eventually evolves into Goodra after passing Sliggoo. I don’t see why it’s any problem because most 1st evolution Pokemon are like this. People may not like it because his base stat total is only 300 - pretty low. But, his abilities and moves learnt aren’t bad at all. Other Pokemon have worst. Goomy has a wide variety of moves and power which makes him really good.But, I think some people don’t like him because of the fact that he evolves at lvl. 40 (pretty high), but it shouldn’t be too hard since his growth rate is unknown.

Hope I helped! :)
