{{iw|bulbapedia|Splash|move}} is a Normal-type move: while being part of the starting moveset of several Pokémon, it has no effect whatsoever. It is most commonly associated with {{pkmn|Magikarp}} and, in contrast with its ''Smash'' depiction, Goldeen is not able to learn it in any game. However, the exact usage of it in ''Smash'' is likely a reference to {{s|bulbapedia|Misty's Goldeen}} from the anime, who was notable for being completely useless on land, and would only be able to flop around similarly to the Goldeen in ''Smash'' unless in the water.

Early in ''Melee's'' lifespan, rumours claimed that Goldeen could sometimes activate {{iw|bulbapedia|Horn Drill|move}} upon being summoned from a Poké Ball, leading to a [[one-hit KO]]. This was later disproven due to advances in hacking, as well as a general lack of proof.

''These Water-types are often referred to as "water dancers," as their elegant fins make them incredibly 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.''

Goldeen returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and is, once again, a "dud" Pokémon. The description on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] tells the player to watch out for {{s|wikipedia|Murphy's Law}} when using [[Poké Ball]]s, showing Goldeen's picture.

''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 it's raised without evolving, it can learn the powerful Bug-type move Megahorn. There are male and female Goldeen--the male's horn is longer.''

:{{Flag|North America}} ''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 Super Smash Bros., however, all it can use is an ineffective Splash attack.''

:{{Flag|Europe}} ''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!''

*Goldeen and [[Zoroark]] are the only [[Pokémon]] that can come out of [[Master Ball]]s that aren't {{iw|Bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}}.

*In the Japanese games, Goldeen's voice clip comes from the ''Pokémon'' anime episode ''Pokémon Emergency'', where it also flopped about on the floor as it does in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
