The way it swims along fluttering its dress-like fins has earned it the name “princess of the water.”
Ultra Moon
Although known for their splendid tail fins, Goldeen apparently compete among themselves to see whose horn is thickest and sharpest.
Ultra Sun
Spellbound by the length of its horn and the beauty of its fins, many strange Trainers raise Goldeen and nothing but Goldeen.
Moon
When the weather grows warm, they form groups and swim upriver. This sight serves as a poetic reminder that spring has arrived.
Sun
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.
Omega Ruby
Its dorsal, pectoral, and tail fins wave elegantly in water. That is why it is known as the water dancer.
