Sliggoo (Japanese: ヌメイル, Hepburn: Numeiru) is a Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
Biology
Physiology
Sliggoo is a gooey purple snail-like Pokémon. The top part of its body is a lighter shade of purple than its underside. Sliggoo has four long feeler-like horns atop its head and pale green spots lining its neck. When evolving from Goomy, Sliggoo's eyes devolved (resembling the green spots that Goomy had on its cheeks), so it is blind and must use its four feeler-like horns as a radar system to sense sounds and smells, as it lacks ears, a nose, and the ability to see. It has tiny stub-like arms on its deep purple underbelly, and a gooey snail-like shell on its back that seems to be part of its gelatinous body.
Behavior
Sliggoo protects itself from predators by coating its body with a slimy mucus that can melt through any material, even human skin; gloves are often used to prevent people from getting their skins melted while holding Sliggoo. It uses its slime to liquify prey before consuming it. Because it lost its eyesight after evolving, Sliggoo relies on its horns as a radar to navigate.
Natural abilities
Despite being blind, Sliggoo can use its horns as a high-performance radar system, allowing it to sense the sounds and smells in its environment.
Evolution
Sliggoo evolves from Goomy at level 40, and evolves into Goodra at level 50 (using moves or abilities to cause rain in a battle cannot make it evolve).

Trivia
- Sliggoo is the only Pokémon that evolves based on external weather, only evolving into Goodra if the overworld is foggy or rainy while it is at Level 50 or above.
Origin
Sliggoo is most likely based on snails or semislugs, most likely the latter due to them having a shell that they are unable to retract into, as Sliggoo's "shell" is more so a place where it stores it's organs. It may also be based off of Lou Carcolh, a creature in French folklore described as a slimy snail-like serpent that lives in caves, possibly being the origin of it's Dragon-type and behavior of liking moist environments (such as caves, as shown in the anime) and also furthering it's snail inspiration.
Etymology
Sliggoo's name comes from the words slime, slippery, slug and goo.
