Goldeen is Pokédex #118, generation 1 (Kanto). Goldeen is a Basic Water Pokémon with 70 HP.

Goldeen sits at 87/84 in Pitch Black, position 87 of 120. Before it is 86 Armarouge, and after it is 88 Primarina. The set belongs to the Mega Evolution series. It was released on July 17, 2026. The printed size is 84. This checklist is longer, at 120 cards. The collector number is above the printed set size of 84. The listed rarity is Illustration Rare.

The attack Pierce lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "Its dorsal, pectoral, and tail fins wave elegantly in water. That is why it is known as the Water Dancer." The regulation mark is J.

Goldeen (#118) has 19 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 17 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Goldeen 53/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Illustration Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Gemi illustrated this one. 15 other cards of Goldeen list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Gemi. I count 19 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Pitch Black set binder is where a full Pitch Black set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Goldeen can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
