      Recommended moves

      There isn't much to expect from a small goldfish Pokémon in ⚔️ Raids and 🛡️ Gyms, and Goldeen is no different, displaying mediocre stats that give it no viability in this meta.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      🧸 Little Cup

      Goldeen's ATQ-heavy stats and lack of high damage make it bad in the Little Cup. Moreover, this format is dominated by a legion of strong Water-type Pokémon, leaving no room for a weak Pokémon like Goldeen to fit in.

      With a max CP of only 1302, Goldeen doesn't work out in any other PvP League.
