'''Goh''' (Japanese: '''ゴウ''' ''Go'') is a {{ashfr|protagonist}} of ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'' of the [[Pokémon anime]], and one of {{Ash}}'s [[Ash's friends|traveling companions]]. His goal is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{p|Mew}}, while his dream is to catch every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Goh.png|thumb|250px|left|Goh at the age of six]]
As seen in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', when he was six, Goh was invited by his childhood friend [[Chloe]] to go to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp with her. During their visit to [[Pallet Town]], Goh and Chloe encountered the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}. The two chased after the unknown Pokémon, but it eventually got away in the aftermath of a baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} rescue. Professor Oak later told them the Pokémon they saw was most likely the Mythical Pokémon Mew. Motivated, Goh swore that he would become a [[Pokémon Trainer]] when he turned ten, and one day {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Mew.

As revealed in ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', Goh was always alone during his childhood because his parents [[Camille]] and [[Ikuo]] were often very busy at work. Because of that, he always ended up staying at home alone waiting for them. During that time, he was always distracted by his constant online researching sessions. Despite this, he was always proud of what his family did.

[[JN032|Three years prior]], during a family trip to [[Azalea Town]], Goh befriended {{OBP|Tokio|JN032}}, who was looking for the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Celebi}}. Goh offered to help with the search, but as night closed in, the boys promised to meet up again the next day. However, Tokio didn't show up, leading Goh to feel betrayed.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', Goh witnessed a {{p|Lugia}} appearing in the skies above [[Vermilion City]]. He chased Lugia down and managed to latch onto its tail, where he met another Trainer named {{Ash}}. Lugia allowed the boys to ride on its back as it soared through the skies and dived down into the ocean. Having bonded over the sights and the Pokémon they saw during the ride, Goh decided to accept Ash as his friend. After parting ways with Lugia, Goh and Ash returned to the [[Cerise Laboratory]], where they informed everyone about their encounter. Impressed by the information on Lugia that they brought back, [[Professor Cerise]] offered them a position as research fellows, which they accepted. Cerise later allowed Goh to pick from a set of [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] for his debut as a Trainer, but Goh rejected all of them, stating he wanted his first Pokémon to be Mew.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', Goh and Ash received their first task as research fellows: to investigate a sudden outbreak of {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the city. To aid their mission, Cerise had two {{p|Rotom}} enter Goh and Ash's smartphones, upgrading each into a [[Rotom Phone]]. After following the Seed Pokémon to a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} under construction, Goh and Ash were attacked by {{TRT}}, who planned to steal the Ivysaur and Bulbasaur. Despite the powerful Pokémon they received from the [[Rocket Prize Master]], Team Rocket was defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and sent blasting off. Goh and Ash then discovered that the Ivysaur had gone to the Gym to find a high place for them to absorb the sunlight needed to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Venusaur}}. They watched as the evolution process released pollen into the air, making flowers around the city bloom.

In ''[[JN004|Settling the Scorbunny!]]'', Goh and Ash traveled to the [[Galar]] [[region]] to research the [[Dynamax]] phenomenon. While they waited for the train to the [[Wild Area]] to arrive, Goh and Ash decided to eat some scones at a store in [[Wyndon]], only to have their food stolen by a wild {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} and its {{p|Nickit}} friends. After Ash battled and defeated Scorbunny, Goh bonded with it, even choosing to lie to the store owner by saying Scorbunny belonged to him when the Nickit stole more of his food. After hearing Scorbunny's backstory from the store owner, Goh gave it words of encouragement before he and Ash left. Goh and Ash eventually made it to their train, completely unaware that Scorbunny had taken a liking to Goh and started to follow him.

In ''[[JN005|Mind-Boggling Dynamax!]]'', Goh and Ash made it to the Wild Area, where they encountered a large {{p|Snorlax}}. Mistakenly assuming its size was due to Dynamax, Goh and Ash tried studying the Sleeping Pokémon, only for Scorbunny to appear and interrupt them. Scorbunny wished to join Goh's team, but it was turned down as Goh still wanted his first Pokémon to be Mew. Snorlax then activated [[Gigantamax]], making its body so large that it covered a nearby train track, putting it at risk of being hit by an incoming train. By teaming up with Scorbunny, Goh managed to get Snorlax to move by luring it with a [[Sitrus Berry]]. Praising its skill, Goh changed his mind about Mew and instead caught Scorbunny as his first Pokémon. After returning to the Cerise Laboratory, Goh introduced Scorbunny as his first-ever Pokémon to Professor Cerise.
[[File:Goh Kanto Bug Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Goh with all the {{t|Bug}} Pokémon he caught in ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'']]
In ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', Goh became inspired to fill up his [[Pokédex]] by catching lots of Pokémon as part of his quest to obtain Mew. Together with Ash, Goh traveled to a nearby forest, where he caught one of each {{type|Bug}} native to Kanto. The next day, Professor Cerise introduced Goh to the Cerise Park, allowing Goh to store any Pokémon he caught on his journey.

In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', Ash told Goh to come with him to the [[Hoenn]] {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III|Battle Frontier}}, where he entered them into the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]] tournament. Despite having the type advantage, Goh was defeated in the first {{pkmn|battle}} by [[Hodge]] without managing to land a single hit on his opponent. Frustrated by his loss, Goh decided that catching Pokémon was better than battling and ran off to continue filling up his Pokédex. He later returned in time to watch the final match between Ash and Hodge, which ended in Ash's victory. As they returned home, Goh apologized to Ash for his earlier outburst, having come to see battling in a new light through his observation of the final match.

In ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'', Goh and Ash watched the [[World Coronation Series]] at [[Wyndon Stadium]]. They watched as [[Leon]] defeated [[Lance]] in the finals and subsequently earned the title of Monarch. Shortly afterwards, a Gigantamax {{p|Drednaw}} attacked the stadium. In [[JN013|the next episode]], Goh and Ash battled Drednaw, but they were unable to harm it until Pikachu was accidentally exposed to Dynamax energy, causing to Gigantamax as well. With guidance from Leon, Ash and Pikachu defeated Drednaw, reverting it back to its normal state. The next day, Goh watched as Ash had an unofficial battle with Leon that ended in the latter's victory. As they returned home, Ash revealed that he planned to enter the World Coronation Series and hopefully battle Leon again in the finals.

In ''[[JN017|Kicking It from Here Into Tomorrow!]]'', Scorbunny attempted to use {{m|Ember}} after {{p|Darmanitan}} taunted it for being unable to use {{type|Fire}} moves. Goh told Scorbunny not to bother as he felt its current moveset was good enough. During a battle with Team Rocket, Scorbunny tried to use Ember despite not having mastered the move, but this led to it being defeated by Team Rocket's {{p|Chewtle}}. When Goh criticized Scorbunny for trying too hard, it ran off to go train by itself. Later, after another clash with Team Rocket, Goh finally understood Scorbunny's passion and told it to kick a pebble with its heated-up feet. This allowed Scorbunny to master Ember, who proceeded to evolve into a {{p|Raboot}} before sending Team Rocket blasting off again. When asked to celebrate with a high-five, Raboot simply ignored Goh and walked away.

In ''[[JN022|Goodbye, Friend!]]'', while in [[Littleroot Town]], Raboot stopped a pair of {{p|Zigzagoon}} from stealing Ash's backpack. During their stay, Goh noticed that Raboot had been sneaking out at night, prompting him and Ash to follow it. They discovered that Raboot had befriended the Zigzagoon as well as a {{p|Lombre}} and had been spending the nights giving them dance lessons. When Raboot struggled against a {{p|Loudred}} trio in a dance battle for territory, Goh, Ash, and Pikachu stepped in to provide a beat for Raboot and its friends to dance to, enabling them to win the battle. The next day, Goh decided to leave Raboot in Hoenn, believing it would be happier with its new friends than with him. When Ash asked if he told Raboot first, Goh quickly regretted his decision. To his relief, Raboot had followed them onto the train. Afterwards, Goh and Raboot settled their differences and reconciled.

In ''[[JN028|Sobbing Sobble!]]'', Goh encountered a {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} in Wyndon. He tried befriending the Water Lizard Pokémon, only for it to run away and hide by blending into its surroundings. Frustrated, Goh blindly threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} at the fountain Sobble was hiding in, accidentally catching it. Later, a failed attempt to catch a {{p|Silicobra}} led to Sobble running away. Goh and Ash eventually found Sobble captured by Team Rocket. After hearing Goh praise it despite its timid nature, Sobble broke free from its cage, only to be pinned down by one of Team Rocket's Pokémon, causing it to cry. Sobble's tears kept Team Rocket distracted long enough for Goh and Ash to send them blasting off.

In [[JN032]], Goh returned to [[Ilex Forest]] during another family vacation to [[Azalea Town]]. His anger towards Tokio was resolved when he found a letter from him at the [[Ilex Forest shrine]], which explained why he didn't show up, and then reunited with Tokio as he was passing through.

In [[JN037]], Goh and Ash arrived on [[Melemele Island]] in the [[Alola]] region. There, Goh met Ash's Alolan friends, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Sophocles}}. After being challenged by Kiawe to see if he was worthy of being Ash's [[rival]], Goh denied this claim and stated he was Ash's friend and research fellow partner. The battle was called off after Goh's Raboot failed to stop [[Kiawe's Turtonator]]'s {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}. Despite Goh's loss, his refusal to back down even when attacked by a powerful [[Z-Move]] impressed Kiawe, who asked Goh to take care of Ash. Afterward, everyone spent time on an island, where Goh caught an {{rf|Alolan|Exeggutor}}.

In [[JN042]], Goh and Ash were sent to Galar to investigate various incidents where Pokémon suddenly began Dynamaxing at random. Shortly after arriving, Goh and Ash chased a wild {{p|Bunnelby}} into the [[Slumbering Weald]], where they encountered {{p|Zamazenta}} and {{p|Zacian}}. Their attempts to catch and battle the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] ended in failure as they were merely illusions. After exiting the forest, Goh met with [[Sonia]] again and headed with her to investigate the ruins in [[Turffield]].

===Character===
[[File:Goh anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Goh looking at his smart phone]]
Goh is a stylish city boy who prefers to stay calm and collected, in contrast to the more instinctive and adventurous {{Ash}}. His overconfidence has left him mostly isolated from other people, with the exception of his friends [[Chloe]] and Ash. According to Chloe, Goh has been known to skip school to wander around town, much to her chagrin. Despite his calm personality, he can also become hot-blooded when his opinion is challenged, and he will not hesitate to defend others when he sees them being mistreated, which helped him bond with a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} in ''[[JN004|Settling the Scorbunny!]]''. Goh likes to throw his [[Poké Ball]]s with a [[Catch rate (GO)|curve]], but his aim tends to be off. Though he seems athletic, Goh lacks good climbing skills despite his efforts to get better at it. He is also highly knowledgeable about Pokémon, being fairly adept at information-gathering and analyzing, both of which were useful in gathering clues. Despite his deep knowledge of Pokémon, Goh is still a rookie Trainer and lacks experience, best evidenced by his tendency to throw Poké Balls at any Pokémon he encounters, rather than weaken them through battle as is the usual practice. This usually backfires on Goh in the long run. For example, in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'', he recklessly wasted all of the Poké Balls he was given to catch a single {{p|Dewgong}}, which resulted in him being unable to catch the {{p|Dratini}} evolutionary line when he and Ash encountered them. His lack of expertise is also evidenced in his battles, where he shows a tactical, by-the-book approach of exploiting type advantages, but is unable to properly respond against more seasoned adversaries, which leads to a crushing defeat. Goh tends to yell "Go!" when sending out his Pokémon or throwing Poké Balls.
[[File:Goh goal.png|thumb|250px|Goh's goal]]
Goh's encounter with {{p|Mew}} when he was six inspired him to become a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and he initially wanted Mew to be his [[starter Pokémon]], even going as far as rejecting [[Professor Cerise]]'s starter Pokémon in favor of the [[Mythical Pokémon]]. However, during his visit to [[Galar]], a wild Scorbunny took a liking to Goh as it followed him and Ash to the [[Wild Area]]. While Goh initially politely rejected Scorbunny, he soon changed his mind after working together with Scorbunny to solve a crisis involving a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Snorlax}} and decided to make the Rabbit Pokémon as his first Pokémon partner instead. Goh and Scorbunny are also best friends as they both dislike losing their other friends, especially one another. Also, Goh and Scorbunny would high five each other whenever something good happens.

Goh shares a very close friendship with Chloe due to him knowing her since they were little. At times, Goh brushes off Chloe's concerns for him but knows that she is just looking out for him. When he was little, Goh only wanted Chloe as his friend and nobody else. However, after meeting and getting to know Ash, Goh realized he needed to have other friends besides Chloe and accepted him as one. Goh's friendship with Ash is very strong, though they sometimes get competitive and annoyed with each other and even butt heads. Ever since the events in ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', Goh seems to strongly admire Ash for his determination, passion, and compassion for Pokémon, especially the extraordinary bond he shares with his {{AP|Pikachu}}.

===Pokémon===
Because one of his goals is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and complete his [[Pokédex]], Goh catches a lot of Pokémon species, including multiple of the same [[evolution|evolutionary family]]. Currently, Goh is known to own 66 Pokémon, with 63 unique Pokémon species registered in his Pokédex. During his journey, Goh has encountered some Trainers with similar goals, such as [[Shane Seeker]], who seeks to capture all [[Shiny Pokémon]], and [[Koromi]], a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon collector. 

In ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', Goh managed to capture all [[Generation I]] Bug-type Pokémon, which, according to Koromi, makes him Kanto's "Bug Pokéking". During his research, Goh has access to several of his Pokémon, rotating between them. The only fixed member on his [[Party|team]] is Raboot; however, since the capture of {{TP|Goh|Sobble}}, the Water Lizard Pokémon has been seen frequently accompanying Goh and Raboot.

==In the games==
===[[Pokémon Ga-Olé]]===
Goh appears as a character in [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]]'s {{ga-ole|Grand Rush set 4}} as part of a tie-in with the anime. Goh replaced the Experienced Trainer that would normally appear in Golden Chance as well as Mister Trade who would normally appear in Trade Chance! He, along with Ash, also appeared as opponents in Trainer and Battle Mode, which was available to challenge from February 24, 2020. This was considerably earlier into the set's duration compared to other sets—the {{ga-ole|Ultra Legend set 4|fourth Ultra Legend set}}, which also featured special opponents in Trainer and Battle Mode, shares this trait. The lineup included one new Trainer class in addition to Ash and Goh, who had their [[hometown]] as part of their name instead of "Pokémon Trainer". Promotional disks could also be dispensed for an additional ¥100 following battles with Goh or Ash, with 'WINNER' versions available to players who successfully defeated their teams. Players facing Goh could receive a {{OBP|Scorbunny|Trainer and Battle}} disk.

==Trivia==
* As of ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', Goh owns the most Pokémon out of all of [[Ash's friends]]. Consequently, he owns the second-greatest number of Pokémon out of all the main characters of the anime, with only Ash himself having more. 
* Goh is {{Ash}}'s first traveling companion to be officially classified as a protagonist instead of simply a traveling companion.{{fact}}
* Goh is left-handed.<ref>[https://twitter.com/DogasusBackpack/status/1290991499245576193 Interview confirming Goh as left-handed]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1293834791238991872 Tweet from the @poke_times account]</ref>
* Goh's catching style is mainly based on the gameplay mechanics of [[Pokémon GO]] and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], all of which feature catching [[wild Pokémon]] without battling.
* Goh is the first main character to catch a [[giant Pokémon]].
** He's also the first main character known to own a Pokémon with its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}}.
* Goh is the first main character other than Ash to own more than one [[starter Pokémon]] from the current [[generation]].
** Goh is also the first main character to own a {{p|Pikachu}} besides Ash.
