One of the Pokémon franchise's pseudo-legendary Pokémon got a new Regional variant in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Hisuian Goodra differs from its original variant in its additional Steel-typing. Hisuian Goodra evolves from Goomy (at level 40) and Hisuian Sliggoo (at level 50, during rainy weather).
Hisuian Goodra is a Dragon and Steel-dual type Pokémon, giving it an impressive list of immunities and resistances. The Pokémon's best moves are those that fall within these two typings and benefit from S.T.A.B. (Same Type Attack Bonus), which will cause increased damage in battle. Hydro Pump, Dragon Pulse, Iron Head, and Water Pulse are the best moves for Hisuian Goodra.

| Iron Head | Steel | Physical | 120 | 100 | 15 |
| Water Pulse | Water | Special | 60 | 100 | 20 |
