Goldeen
Ruby

GOLDEEN is a very beautiful POKéMON with fins that billow elegantly in water. However, don’t let your guard down around this POKéMON - it could ram you powerfully with its horn.

Sapphire

GOLDEEN loves swimming wild and free in rivers and ponds. If one of these POKéMON is placed in an aquarium, it will shatter even the thickest glass with one ram of its horn and make its escape.

Emerald

In the springtime, schools of GOLDEEN can be seen swimming up falls and rivers. It metes out staggering damage with its single horn.

Firered

Its dorsal and pectoral fins are strongly developed like muscles. It can swim at a speed of five knots.

Leafgreen

Its tail fin billows like an elegant ballroom dress, giving it the nickname of “The Water Queen.”
