Goldeen’s tail fin billows out like a ballroom dress — hence its nickname, the Water Queen. In “Pokémon Emergency” Ash and Pikachu prepare to defend the Viridian City Pokémon Center from the thieving Team Rocket. Misty steps forward, chooses a random Poké Ball from the center and lets loose Goldeen. Since water Pokémon can’t battle on land, an embarrassed Misty calls it right back, while Team Rocket laughs at the mistake of our valiant heroine.
