In-Depth Analysis
Goldeen's 320 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (67) carries most matchups, but a low Special Attack stat of 35 means careful positioning matters.
Its Water typing leaves Goldeen with 2 weaknesses against 4 resistances. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 3 types for super-effective damage.
With a catch rate of 225, Goldeen is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
