[[File:Young Goh.png|thumb|250px|Goh at the age of six]]

[[JN032|Three years prior]], during a family trip to [[Azalea Town]], Goh befriended [[Horace]], who was looking for the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Celebi}}. Goh offered to help with the search, but as night closed in, the boys promised to meet up again the next day. However, Horace didn't show up, leading Goh to feel betrayed.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====

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.

In ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]'', Goh returned to [[Ilex Forest]] during another family vacation to [[Azalea Town]]. His anger towards Horace was resolved when he found a letter from him at the [[Ilex Forest shrine]], which explained why he didn't show up, and then reunited with Horace as he was passing through.

[[File:Goh and Dynamax Band.png|thumb|250px|Goh and his Dynamax Band]]

In ''[[JN042|Sword and Shield: Slumbering Weald!]]'', Goh and Ash were sent to Galar to investigate various incidents where Pokémon suddenly began Dynamaxing at random. Shortly after arriving, Goh and Ash chased a wild {{p|Bunnelby}} into the [[Slumbering Weald]], where they encountered {{p|Zamazenta}} and {{p|Zacian}}. Their attempts to catch and battle the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] ended in failure as they were merely illusions. After exiting the forest, Goh met with [[Sonia]] again and headed with her to investigate the ruins in [[Turffield]]. In [[JN043|the following episode]], Sonia took Goh to visit her grandmother [[Professor Magnolia]] to learn more about Dynamax. Goh later received a [[Dynamax Band]] from Sonia, which was fashioned from a [[Wishing Star]] they found outside. The next day, at the [[Stow-on-Side]] mural, Goh and Sonia were approached by [[Oleana's subordinate]], who aimed to stop the duo's research. Goh Dynamaxed Raboot to battle Oleana's subordinate's Gigantamax {{p|Garbodor}}, but the clash broke the mural, revealing a statue of Zacian and Zamazenta underneath.

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.

===Pokémon===

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.

|desc=In ''[[JN026|Slowking's Crowning!]]'', Goh had {{p|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}} to try and force open a {{p|Shellder}} that a {{p|Slowking}} had placed on {{Ash}}'s head, causing him to act strangely. However, Ash was able to dodge the attack, and the Thunderbolt hit a group of {{p|Slowpoke}} instead.
