In ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', Goh witnessed a {{p|Lugia}} appearing in the skies above [[Vermilion City]]. He chased Lugia down and managed to latch onto its tail, where he met another Trainer named {{Ash}}. Lugia allowed the boys to ride on its back as it soared through the skies and dived down into the ocean. Having bonded over the sights and the Pokémon they saw during the ride, Goh decided to accept Ash as his friend. After parting ways with Lugia, Goh and Ash returned to the [[Cerise Laboratory]], where they informed everyone about their encounter. Impressed by the information on Lugia that they brought back, [[Professor Cerise]] offered them a position as research fellows, which they accepted. Cerise later allowed Goh to pick from a set of [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] for his debut as a Trainer, but Goh rejected all of them, stating he wanted his first Pokémon to be Mew.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', Goh and Ash received their first task as research fellows: to investigate a sudden outbreak of {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the city. To aid their mission, Cerise had two {{p|Rotom}} enter Goh and Ash's smartphones, upgrading each into a [[Rotom Phone]]. After following the Seed Pokémon to a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} under construction, Goh and Ash were attacked by {{TRT}}, who planned to steal the Ivysaur and Bulbasaur. Despite the powerful Pokémon they received from the [[Rocket Prize Master]], Team Rocket was defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]] and sent blasting off. Goh and Ash then discovered that the Ivysaur had gone to the Gym to find a high place for them to absorb the sunlight needed to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Venusaur}}. They watched as the evolution process released pollen into the air, making flowers around the city bloom.

Goh's encounter with {{an|Mew}} when he was six inspired him to become a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and he initially wanted Mew to be his [[starter Pokémon]], even going as far as rejecting [[Professor Cerise]]'s starter Pokémon in favor of the [[Mythical Pokémon]]. However, during his visit to [[Galar]], a wild Scorbunny took a liking to Goh as it followed him and Ash to the [[Wild Area]]. While Goh initially politely rejected Scorbunny, he soon changed his mind after working together with Scorbunny to solve a crisis involving a [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Snorlax}} and decided to make the Rabbit Pokémon as his first Pokémon partner instead. Goh and Scorbunny are alike as they both dislike losing their friends, especially one another. Goh and Scorbunny would high-five each other whenever something good happened.

Due to spending most of his life doing research at home, Goh lacked interacting with people and Pokémon, as he didn't have a lot of social skills. As a child in ''[[JN062|Not Too Close for Comfort!]]'', Goh used to be shy around people and wouldn't talk to them, and would sit out at night looking at the stars for comfort. When he was asked by his teacher as to why he wasn't interacting with the other kids, he wasn't able to answer her question because he didn't know why himself. Eventually, he learned to talk with people and was able to overcome his shyness. Goh also can get excited to see new places for the first time. Ever since the events in ''[[JN091|The Spectral Express!]]'', Goh developed a fear of ghosts and {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, except for those he and his friends own.

Because one of his goals is to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and complete his [[Pokédex]], Goh catches a lot of Pokémon species, including multiple members of the same [[evolution|evolutionary family]] and Pokémon that have [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|branched evolutions]], as well as Pokémon that have [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]] and a [[regional form]]. Currently, Goh is known to own 108 Pokémon, with {{tt|115 or 116|The identity of his last on-screen capture has not been revealed}} unique Pokémon species registered in his Pokédex. During his journey, Goh has encountered some Trainers with similar goals, such as [[Shane Seeker]], who seeks to capture all [[Shiny Pokémon]], and [[Kricketina Kylie]], a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon collector.

In ''[[JN006|Working My Way Back to Mew!]]'', Goh managed to capture all [[Generation I]] Bug-type Pokémon, which, according to Kricketina Kylie, makes him Kanto's "Bug Pokéking". During his research, Goh has access to several of his Pokémon, rotating between them. As of ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Goh decided to take a journey through the [[Kanto]] region, leaving all of his Pokémon (with the exception of the [[Galar]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s) at the [[Cerise Laboratory]].
