How to unlock Goldeen in PokeBonk
Goldeen joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Dodge 350 attacks.
Catching Goldeen
Then Goldeen can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Goldeen moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aqua Cutter | Water | Physical | Boomerang | Start | 18 | 1.53 s |
| 2 | Smart Strike | Steel | Physical | Homing | Level 2 | 12 | 1.13 s |
| 3 | Horn Leech | Grass | Physical | Charge | Level 4 | 26 | 2.09 s |
| 4 | Fishious Rend | Water | Physical | Strike | Level 7 | 23 | 0.88 s |
Goldeen passive: Water Veil
+10% evasion. Every dodge wraps you in water: a shield worth 6% of your HP. Like Seaking, +5% evasion.
Aqua Cutter and Fishious Rend match Goldeen's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Goldeen Ultimate in PokeBonk
Goldeen's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goldeen | Fish Cascade | 3 s | Six Goldeen leap out of the water and pounce on the enemies for 3 s while waterfalls crash on eight of them. |
| Seaking | Aqua Megahorn | 3.2 s | Three horn charges in three directions, followed by six Seaking diving down and waterfalls on ten enemies. |

Goldeen stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goldeen | 0 | 108 | 9.6 | 1.06x | 1.07x | 0.95x | 1x |
| Seaking | 1 | 132 | 8.4 | 1.03x | 1.07x | 0.99x | 1.12x |
