GoldeenPokémon card prices & values

Collector’s notes

• Goldeen 78/147 (Aquapolis)

  Goldeen drifts across a soft blue underwater scene dotted with bubbles, its flowing white fins tipped in pink and its eyes half closed in a calm, sleepy look. The art by Miki Tanaka has a gentle, rounded storybook feel. As a common from Aquapolis, it appeals to set builders chasing the e-Card era, whose distinctive borders and late print runs make even modest cards harder to find.

• Misty's Goldeen 30/132 (Gym Heroes)

  Misty's Goldeen, art by Ken Sugimori, shows the goldfish Pokémon gliding across a soft, blurred sepia backdrop, its frilly fins washed in pale green and pink and its horn pointed forward with a sleepy, half-lidded look. The painterly, almost watercolor style is classic early Sugimori. Collectors chase it as a Rare from Gym Heroes, where Misty's portrait badge in the corner ties it to her beloved trainer lineup.

• Goldeen 45/64 (Neo Revelation)

  Goldeen sits on a churning patch of white water in front of a misty waterfall, rendered in the soft, clay-model style that art by Yuka Morii is known for, with glossy fins and a pouty pink mouth. It's a simple Common from Neo Revelation, but fans of the Neo era and of Morii's sculpted look tend to seek it out to round out their sets.
