===Origin===
Goldeen seems to be based on the (curly fantail) breed of due to its flat tail and red-and-white scales. It might also be inspired by the variety of fish. Its billowing tail and prominent lips and eyelids give it a feminine appearance reminiscent of a wearing a dress and makeup. This royal theme may come from the Japanese word for goldfish which is 金魚 Kingyo. Its horn may be a reference to , a giant horned fish that is one of the avatars assumed by the Hindu deity . 
====Name origin====
Goldeen may be a combination of goldfish or golden and queen.
Tosakinto may be derived from 土佐金 (curly fantail goldfish), a distinctive breed of goldfish.
