 ===Origin===
-Goldeen seems to be based on a {{wp|goldfish}}, specifically the {{wp|tosakin}} (curly fantail) breed due to its red and white scales and flat tail. It may also be based on the  {{wp|Kōhaku (fish)|kōhaku}} breed of {{wp|koi}} fish. Its billowing tail and prominent red lips and eyelids give it a feminine appearance reminiscent of a {{wp|queen}} wearing a {{wp|dress}} and {{wp|Cosmetics|makeup}}. Its horn may be a reference to {{wp|Matsya}}, a giant horned fish that is one of the avatars assumed by the Hindu deity {{wp|Vishnu}}.
