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

{{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.

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. Thus, it is established as the "dud" Pokémon of the ''Smash Bros.'' series.

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.

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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*During development of the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', [[Masahiro Sakurai]] chose Goldeen to use Splash instead of Magikarp because he preferred Goldeen's voice in the anime.<ref>'''大竹'''　いやあ、トサキントってセクシーですよね。とくに、最後のほうの色っぽさっていったらないですよね。ちょっとなよっとしているんですよね。<br>'''桜井'''　ハハ、本来なら、“はねる”って技を使うポケモンといえばコイキングですよね。だけど、トサキントの声をアニメで聞いたときに思ったんです。この声を使うために、コイキングではなくトサキントを使おうって（笑）。<br>'''(Yukitaka) Otake:''' I have to say, Goldeen sounds a little sexy, doesn't it? I can't say enough about how sexy the last part is, in particular. It's sort of languid, I suppose.<br>'''(Masahiro) Sakurai:''' Haha, normally the one to use the "Splash" technique would be Magikarp, wouldn't it? But when I heard Goldeen's voice in the anime, I thought, "let's use Goldeen instead of Magikarp so we can use this voice."

*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]].
