 ===Origin===
-Goldeen seems to be based on the the {{wp|Tosakin}} (curly fantail) breed of {{wp|goldfish}} due to its flat tail and red and white scales. It might also be inspired by the  {{wp|Kōhaku (fish)|Kōhaku}} variety of {{wp|koi}} fish. Its billowing tail and prominent lips and eyelids give it a feminine appearance reminiscent of a {{wp|Queen regnant|queen}} wearing a dress and 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}}.
