'''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.

{{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 {{iw|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.


Rumors have flown around the Internet, claiming that under certain conditions, Goldeen will activate Horn Drill and instantly KO an opponent. Although this has never been completely proven or disproven, most people accept it as false, due to a lack of evidence.
Goldeen's Japanese voice clip used in every ''Smash'' game is from the ''Pokémon'' anime episode ''Pokémon Emergency'', where it flops on the floor as it does in the ''Smash'' games. Goldeen's English voice clip used in ''Smash 64'' is from the episode ''Pokémon Shipwreck'', while the English clip used in every game since ''Melee'' is from ''Snack Attack''.

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.

Goldeen (トサキント, Tosakinto) is a creature from the Pokémon series. It has appeared as a Poké Ball Pokémon in every Smash game.

Origin[edit]

Goldeen's official artwork from Pokémon Red and Green.

Goldeen is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #118 as the "Goldfish Pokémon". It is commonly found by fishing, and it evolves into Seaking at level 33. It is registered as #118 in the National Pokédex.

Splash 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 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 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.

Goldeen's Japanese voice clip used in every Smash game is from the Pokémon anime episode Pokémon Emergency, where it flops on the floor as it does in the Smash games. Goldeen's English voice clip used in Smash 64 is from the episode Pokémon Shipwreck, while the English clip used in every game since Melee is from Snack Attack.

In Super Smash Bros.[edit]

As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]

Sprite

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 hitboxes, 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]

Goldeen in Melee.

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 Horn Drill 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.

As a stage element[edit]

Goldeen's appearance on Poke Floats.

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.

Trophy[edit]

Goldeen features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery, and throughout the various Single-Player game modes.
