'''Goldeen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トサキント''' ''Tosakinto'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].
'''Goldeen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: トサキント ''Tosakinto'') is a {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon.
 
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Seaking}} starting at [[level]] 33.


=Biology=
==Biology==
==Physiology==
Goldeen is a white {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with orange markings. It has circular blue eyes with orange lids and prominent pink lips. On its forehead is a large horn, which is larger on a male than on a female. It has a small, wavy {{wp|dorsal fin}} surrounded by an orange patch and long {{wp|fish fin|pectoral fins}} with orange markings at the bases. Goldeen's billowing tail fin is orange around the base and turns white toward the edges. Its tail is admired by many for its beauty and similarity to a ballroom dress.
===Gender differences===
A female has a smaller horn.


===Special abilities===
Goldeen has a wild temperament and will use its horn to smash its way to freedom if kept in an aquarium. It competes with others of its kind to determine which has the strongest, thickest horn. Humans swimming near it must exercise caution lest Goldeen rams them. Goldeen is a very common sight in any body of {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|fresh water}}, including ponds, lakes, and rivers. It can be seen swimming upstream in large schools during the breeding season in spring. Its strong fins allow it to maintain a steady speed of five knots while swimming upstream. It is known as the "Water Dancer" due to its elegant movements in the water. In [[Generation I]], {{m|Waterfall}} was its [[signature move]].
==Behavior==
 
==Habitat==
===Evolution===
==Diet==
Goldeen evolves into {{p|Seaking}}.

====Trophy information====
===Held items===
These Water-types are often referred to as "water dancers," as their elegant fins make them incredible agile underwater. They can even travel upstream in rapids at a speed of five knots; of course, they're not quite as nimble on dry land. Goldeen's Horn Drill is so strong that it can KO an enemy with one strike if it connects.
Pokémon caught in [[Generation I]] must be traded to a [[Generation II]] game in order for a held item to appear.


===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===

Goldeen is also a Pokéfloat. It will appear from the bottom of the screen but quickly drop down to the bottom again, knocking out any character it hits.
 
====Trophy information====
''These Water-types are often referred to as "water dancers," as their elegant fins make them incredible agile underwater. They can even travel upstream in rapids at a speed of five knots; of course, they're not quite as nimble on dry land. Goldeen's {{m|Horn Drill}} is so strong that it can KO an enemy with one strike if it connects.''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Goldeen will sometimes be found in a Poké Ball and will use {{m|Splash}} when released. It does nothing to affect the battle. On the official blog, Masahiro Sakurai commented that Goldeen appearing at the most critical of times is in keeping with {{wp|Murphy's Law}}.<ref>(June 5, 2007). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20121120182228/http://www.smashbros.com/en_uk/items/mball/mball01.html What Are Poké Balls?]" ''Smash Bros. DOJO!!'' (Archived link)</ref>
 
====Trophy information====
''"A Goldfish Pokémon. In contrast to its elegant appearance, it has a wild temperament, and its attack with its horn is severe. Among the techniques it can master, {{m|Horn Drill}} is especially reliable. It evolves into Seaking, but if raised without evolving, it can learn the powerful {{type|Bug}} {{m|Megahorn}}. There are male and female Goldeen--the male's horn is longer."''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Goldeen 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Goldeen trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Goldeen will sometimes appear from a Poké Ball or even a Master Ball. As in the previous games, it uses Splash when released, having no effect on the battle.
 
Goldeen also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.
 
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Water-type Pokémon sports a fancy horn on its head. An excellent swimmer, it can literally swim up waterfalls. In the world of Pokémon, this elegant Pokémon has a variety of effective moves in battle. In Smash Bros., however, all it can use is an ineffective Splash attack.''
 
'''PAL''': ''A Water-type Pokémon with a distinctive horn. Thanks to its powerful fins, Goldeen can swim comfortably through the most torrential waters and even up waterfalls. It's known for both its strength and grace. That said, don't expect it to make a big splash in this game - just a little one when it uses Splash... It's super ineffective!''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Goldeen returns as a Poké Ball summon, retaining the same behavior as before.

==Trivia==
[[File:Spr 2d 178.png|thumb|200px|Gyopin (ギョピン)'s front sprite from the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]].]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Goldeen was originally known as "Goldy".
** In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], Goldeen was intended to have a pre-evolution named Gyopin (ギョピン), which evolved into it at level 16. A back sprite was also seen in the assets for Pokémon Red and Green.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Development:Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue/Pok%C3%A9mon The Cutting Room Floor page]</ref>.
* Goldeen's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] are the same: 078.
* Goldeen and its evolution were the only Pokémon that could learn {{m|Waterfall}} in [[Generation I]], before the move was an [[HM]].
* Goldeen shares a fairly similar in-game cry to {{p|Caterpie}}, being only .07 seconds longer.
* Even though Goldeen uses {{m|Splash}} in all five Super Smash Bros. games, as well as [[Pokémon Quest]], it has no way of learning the move in any Pokémon game.
* Goldeen's [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Pokémon SoulSilver]] [[Pokédex]] entry claims it can swim at "5 knots per hour." This is technically incorrect, as a {{wp|Knot (unit)|knot}} is already a measurement of distance over time (nautical miles per hour).
* Together with {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Ninjask}}, {{p|Pichu}}, and {{p|Seedot}}, Goldeen is the easiest Pokémon to catch in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, with only one loop necessary.
 
===Origin===
Goldeen seems to be based on the {{wp|Tosakin}} (curly fantail) breed of {{wp|goldfish}} due to its flat tail and red-and-white scales. It might also be inspired by the  {{wp|Kōhaku (fish)|Kōhaku}} variety of {{wp|koi}} fish. Its billowing tail and prominent lips and eyelids give it a feminine appearance reminiscent of a {{wp|Queen regnant|queen}} wearing a dress and makeup. This royal theme may come from the Japanese word for goldfish which is 金魚 ''Kingyo''. Its horn may be a reference to {{wp|Matsya}}, a giant horned fish that is one of the avatars assumed by the Hindu deity {{wp|Vishnu}}.


==Evolution==
====Name origin====
{| border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin: auto;"
Goldeen may be a combination of ''goldfish'' or ''golden'' and ''queen''.

=Trivia=
Tosakinto may be derived from 土佐金 ''{{wp|tosakin}}'' (curly fantail goldfish), a distinctive breed of goldfish.
*Goldeen was originally going to be called "Gold''y''".
*Goldeen, as well as Seaking, has been in all regional [[Pokédex]]es.
*Goldeen and Seaking are the only two Pokémon that can learn {{m|Waterfall}} through [[level]] up.


==Origin==
It seems to be based on a goldfish.
===Name origin===
Goldeen's name may be a combination of ''[[wp:goldfish|goldfish]]'' and ''queen''.  Its Japanese name stems from とさきん ''tosakin'', a kind of goldfish.

Goldeen (Japanese: トサキント Tosakinto) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Seaking starting at level 33.

Biology

Goldeen is a white piscine Pokémon with orange markings. It has circular blue eyes with orange lids and prominent pink lips. On its forehead is a large horn, which is larger on a male than on a female. It has a small, wavy dorsal fin surrounded by an orange patch and long pectoral fins with orange markings at the bases. Goldeen's billowing tail fin is orange around the base and turns white toward the edges. Its tail is admired by many for its beauty and similarity to a ballroom dress.

Goldeen has a wild temperament and will use its horn to smash its way to freedom if kept in an aquarium. It competes with others of its kind to determine which has the strongest, thickest horn. Humans swimming near it must exercise caution lest Goldeen rams them. Goldeen is a very common sight in any body of fresh water, including ponds, lakes, and rivers. It can be seen swimming upstream in large schools during the breeding season in spring. Its strong fins allow it to maintain a steady speed of five knots while swimming upstream. It is known as the "Water Dancer" due to its elegant movements in the water. In Generation I, Waterfall was its signature move.

Evolution

Goldeen evolves into Seaking.

Sun When the weather grows warm, they form groups and swim upriver. This sight serves as a poetic reminder that spring has arrived.
Moon Spellbound by the length of its horn and the beauty of its fins, many strange Trainers raise Goldeen and nothing but Goldeen.
Ultra Sun Although known for their splendid tail fins, Goldeen apparently compete among themselves to see whose horn is thickest and sharpest.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros.

When released from a Poké Ball, Goldeen will use Splash, having no effect on the battle.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

When released from a Poké Ball, Goldeen will use Splash, having no effect on the battle.

Goldeen is also a Pokéfloat. It will appear from the bottom of the screen but quickly drop down to the bottom again, knocking out any character it hits.

Trophy information

These Water-types are often referred to as "water dancers," as their elegant fins make them incredible agile underwater. They can even travel upstream in rapids at a speed of five knots; of course, they're not quite as nimble on dry land. Goldeen's Horn Drill is so strong that it can KO an enemy with one strike if it connects.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Goldeen will sometimes be found in a Poké Ball and will use Splash when released. It does nothing to affect the battle. On the official blog, Masahiro Sakurai commented that Goldeen appearing at the most critical of times is in keeping with Murphy's Law.[1]

Trophy information

"A Goldfish Pokémon. In contrast to its elegant appearance, it has a wild temperament, and its attack with its horn is severe. Among the techniques it can master, Horn Drill is especially reliable. It evolves into Seaking, but if raised without evolving, it can learn the powerful Bug-type Megahorn. There are male and female Goldeen--the male's horn is longer."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Goldeen trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

Goldeen will sometimes appear from a Poké Ball or even a Master Ball. As in the previous games, it uses Splash when released, having no effect on the battle.

Goldeen also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

Trophy information

NA: This Water-type Pokémon sports a fancy horn on its head. An excellent swimmer, it can literally swim up waterfalls. In the world of Pokémon, this elegant Pokémon has a variety of effective moves in battle. In Smash Bros., however, all it can use is an ineffective Splash attack.

PAL: A Water-type Pokémon with a distinctive horn. Thanks to its powerful fins, Goldeen can swim comfortably through the most torrential waters and even up waterfalls. It's known for both its strength and grace. That said, don't expect it to make a big splash in this game - just a little one when it uses Splash... It's super ineffective!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Goldeen returns as a Poké Ball summon, retaining the same behavior as before.

Trivia

Gyopin (ギョピン)'s front sprite from the Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo.

Origin

Goldeen seems to be based on the Tosakin (curly fantail) breed of goldfish due to its flat tail and red-and-white scales. It might also be inspired by the Kōhaku variety of koi fish. Its billowing tail and prominent lips and eyelids give it a feminine appearance reminiscent of a queen wearing a dress and makeup. This royal theme may come from the Japanese word for goldfish which is 金魚 Kingyo. Its horn may be a reference to Matsya, a giant horned fish that is one of the avatars assumed by the Hindu deity Vishnu.

Name origin

Goldeen may be a combination of goldfish or golden and queen.

Tosakinto may be derived from 土佐金 tosakin (curly fantail goldfish), a distinctive breed of goldfish.
