Misty's Goldeen (Japanese: カスミのトサキント Kasumi's Tosakinto) was one of the three original Pokémon acquired by Misty in the Kanto region. Its Japanese voice actress is Ikue Ohtani and its English voice actress is Rachael Lillis.

History

Goldeen was first used in Pokémon Emergency! to distract Team Rocket whilst Ash rescued the Pokémon in the Pokémon Center. Its "battling" consisted of flailing around on the floor.

Misty does not use it very often because it cannot battle or maneuver outside of water. However, in the Pikachu short Pikachu & Pichu, Misty's Goldeen is seen being able to hop around on land to move. Her Goldeen has proved helpful when Misty and her friends need assistance swimming or locating something underwater. In Pokémon Shipwreck, Goldeen tried to find an exit out of the sunken S.S. Anne. Instead, it discovered Team Rocket, who would otherwise have drowned.

Goldeen, due to essentially being a fish, had difficulty battling on land, therefore it was used very little in battle, and when it was, it generally did poorly due to its lack of battle experience. An example of this is a battle against Marina in Bye Bye Psyduck, where it lost to her Tentacruel, before Misty's Staryu took over and won. It was also used against Molly Hale's Kingdra in Spell of the Unown, where it was swiftly defeated. Oddly, it was again succeeded in battle by Staryu, presenting a potential hierarchy structure within Misty's team, with Goldeen being the apparent weakest.
