'''Goldeen''' ({{ja|トサキント|Tosakinto}}, ''Tosakinto'') is a creature from the {{uv|Pokémon}} series. It has appeared as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon in every ''Smash'' game.

Goldeen appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' It flops around on the stage helplessly until it disappears or has fallen off the stage. It is one of two completely harmless Pokémon in the game, the other being [[Mew]]. Goldeen does not have any [[hitbox]]es, so it doesn't do any damage to any of the characters. Thus, it was established as the "dud" Pokémon of the ''Smash Bros.'' series.

Goldeen returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' to reprise its role as something that does not affect gameplay in any way.

Early in ''Melee''{{'}}s lifespan, rumors 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.

A larger balloon of Goldeen (in actuality, the 3D model of Goldeen used in ''Pokémon Stadium'' for [[Nintendo 64]]) is one of the many floating and moving "platforms" that make the [[Poké Floats]] stage.

|desc=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 {{iw|wikipedia|Murphy's Law}} when using [[Poké Ball]]s, showing Goldeen's picture.

|desc-ntsc=A Goldfish Pokémon also known as the Queen of the Sea. In contrast to its elegant appearance, it's wild and has a severe horn attack. Among the techniques it can master, Horn Drill is very 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.

Goldeen returns in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', keeping its lack of function from the previous installments. It can also be summoned from the newly added [[Master Ball]] item, which otherwise contains only rare or legendary Pokémon. This Master Ball variant behaves exactly the same as the regular version, and was added as a joke.

|name=Goldeen

|desc-ntsc=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.

 

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==

Goldeen cannot appear on Distant Planet.

 

Golden also appears as a [[spirit]].

*Goldeen, [[Mew]], and [[Snorlax]] are the only Pokémon to appear as Poké Ball Pokémon in every game.

*Goldeen and [[Zoroark]] are the only [[Pokémon]] that can come out of [[Master Ball]]s that are neither {{iw|bulbapedia|Legendary Pokémon}} nor {{iw|bulbapedia|Mythical Pokémon}}.

*The German version of ''Super Smash Bros.'' reuses Goldeen's English voice line instead of its German voice line.

**{{iw|bulbapedia|Horn Drill|move}} is very unreliable, being among the most unreliable moves in the game, as like all OHKO moves its accuracy is a mere 30% unless the opponent's level is lower than the user's.

**Evolving Goldeen into Seaking does not prevent it from being able to learn {{iw|bulbapedia|Megahorn|move}}, though like many evolved Pokémon, Seaking learns new moves at a later level than its previous form (and there do exist examples of evolved Pokémon being unable to learn some moves that their previous form can).

*Even though, on principle, Goldeen flops around due to being summoned on dry land, it will still maintain this behavior in stages where the player can tread water (and thus, throwing a Poké Ball into a body of water will not cause it to be lost), such as [[Delfino Plaza]], or in stages that take place underwater, such as [[Hanenbow]].
