1/2

Main article: Misty's Goldeen

At some point during her journey, Misty caught a Goldeen in Kanto. Goh caught a Goldeen in PJ024.

Trivia

• Despite having a 50/50 gender ratio, Goldeen has queen in the names of both the male and female. The inverse applies to its evolution.
• Goldeen has a similar cry to Caterpie's.
• In the Beta release of Gold & Silver, Goldeen had a baby form known as Golppy.
• In Super Smash Bros., Goldeen is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Splash.
  • However, Goldeen is unable to learn Splash in any of the mainline games.
  • Along with this, it is one of the two Pokémon that can be freed from a Master Ball despite not being Legendary or Mythical Pokémon. It shares this trait with Zoroark.

Origin

Goldeen may be based on a koi or a goldfish. Its horn may be a reference to narwhals.

Etymology

Goldeen is a combination of golden and queen. It may also incorporate goldfish.
