Pokédex entries

Often seen swimming elegantly by lakeshores. It is often mistaken for the Japanese monster Kappa.
Pokémon Yellow
Its slim and long limbs end in broad flippers. They are used for swimming gracefully in lakes.
Pokémon Gold
When it swims at full speed using its long, webbed limbs, its forehead somehow begins to glow.
Pokémon Silver
It appears by waterways at dusk. It may use telekinetic powers if its forehead glows mysteriously.
Pokémon Crystal
It swims gracefully along on the quiet, slow-moving rivers and lakes of which it is so fond.
Pokémon Ruby
The webbed flippers on its forelegs and hind legs and the streamlined body of Golduck give it frightening speed. This Pokémon is definitely much faster than even the most athletic swimmer.

A Golduck is an adept swimmer. It sometimes joins competitive swimmers in training. It uses psychic powers when its forehead shimmers with light.
Pokémon FireRed
The forelegs are webbed, helping to make it an adept swimmer. It can be seen swimming elegantly in lakes, etc.
