— Goldfish Pokémon
Goldeen
MetaMons competitive notes
Goldeen is a water-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 320 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 63) and a physical attacking profile. Its Swift Swim ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Goldeen. Build around what Goldeen actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
