Biological characteristics

Goldeen are 2-foot-long Goldfish with notably elegant arrays of dorsal, pectoral, and tail fins and horns on their heads. In the water, these fins billow elegantly enough that the Goldeen species has been given various nicknames such as the Water Queen and the Water Dancer. The fin itself resembles that of the tosakin goldfish breed. Males have longer horns than females.

Goldeen, fish Pokémon which love to swim wild and free, are a common sight in rivers and ponds, especially in the springtime when schools of these Pokémon are seen swimming up rivers and forcefully up falls. The springtime is the mating and spawning season for Goldeen, so they congregate and swim especially gracefully in search of the perfect mate. Afterwards, when it is time to lay their eggs, Goldeen mates swim up falls in large groups to their destinations.

Goldeen are deceptively powerful fish. Their dorsal and pectoral fins are strongly developed like muscles, allowing them to swim their way nonstop up rivers and falls at a constant speed of 5 knots. They are inclined to ram intruders such as humans powerfully with their horns, and if held in captivity in an aquarium, they will shatter even the thickest glass walls of the aquarium with one sound ram of their bodies and horns to make their escape.it's also belived to be a female only.

Goldeen first appeared in Pokémon Red and Blue (outside of Japan), and can only be caught by fishing or surfing on the water. It eventually evolves into Seaking (Pokémon). Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue are the first two installments of the Pokémon series of role-playing video games, first released for the Game Boy in Japan in 1996, later released to the rest of the world in 1998 (North America) and 1999 (Europe and Australia), and...

Goldeen next to Wario after having emerged from a Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Goldeen appear in Pokémon Snap, as well as in the Super Smash Bros. series, which includes Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Pokémon Snap, it appears in the Canyon course if the player repeatedly throws rapid balls into the river the player is riding on early in the course. Getting a good picture is hard, however, as they come up quickly. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Goldeen appears as one of the Pokémon that can appear out of a thrown Poké Ball. However, when throw from a Poké Ball, Goldeen simply flops around on the ground uselessly, a role that may have more logically gone to Magikarp.
