Ash's Goodra (Aura)

Ash's Goodra was the fourth Pokémon Ash Calem Ketchum caught in the Kalos region.

Personality and characteristics
As a Goomy, it was a very friendly Pokémon, as it liked to show its affection to others by nibbling on their ears. Even after it had become a Goodra, it maintained its affection, hugging Ash shortly after evolving. It had also proven to be a capable fighter, but was initially scared until it decided to help Ash. Goomy was originally frightened and was afraid of Fairy Pokémon since Dragons are weak against Fairy-types, but soon got over it. It's also afraid of Bug Pokémon such as Ariados as they destroyed Goomy's original home. When depressed or insulted, Goomy tended to use Rain Dance on the offender, as seen when it used the move on Serena for calling it icky. It views Pikachu as a role model, and wants to become strong like him and his Trainer.

Goomy had a slimy body, which can help reflect attacks without it taking damage or it can put slime on others, making them slimy. It also used to dry out easily causing it to become weak or tired, but could stop it by absorbing water.

The invasion of Goomy's home was a clearly traumatic event in its life. In the beginning, whenever it encountered dangerous situations, it tended to flashback to the scene of Bug-types attacking its home, and would freeze from the shock. However, it is capable of overcoming its fears to help its friends. It also leads it to sympathize with others, where it became determined to help a wild Spoink, who had also been driven away from its home by a wild Grumpig. After evolving, some signs of trauma were still present in Sliggoo. Later, a forest fire reminded it of a group of stranded, young Pokémon surrounded by the fires of the invasion. However, the memory lead Sliggoo to take action, using Rain Dance to put out the flames, and trigger its evolution.

After evolving, Goodra's power and endurance became substantially higher, as it was not only able to deal large amounts of damage, but take hits as well without being knocked out, such as Tierno's Raichu's Charge Beam and Focus Blast, and Clemont's Luxray's Thunder Fang, Wild Charge, and Swift. This endurance was usually followed up with a Bide attack against the opponents. Goodra grew into a brave, strong, and kind Pokémon under Ash's care; Goodra completely overcame its fear of Bug-types to defend its homeland against Florges's Bug-type army. Although it still faltered for a moment after seeing the Blue Flower Florges, it successfully defended itself with encouragement from Ash and the others.

It was also shown that when it wins a battle and Ash thanks it for the hard work, it blushes.
