* {{Foil}}: Its story is similar to Goh's Suicune where it was captured by Goh when he's protecting it from a group of hunters and decided to stay his Pokemon when he tried to release it. However unlike Suicune who left and is roaming again, Absol decided to stay in the Cerise Institute with the other Pokemon.

!!Pinsir & Heracross
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/de3denr_b9723c90_a74a_4c0c_8685_f97ff6cc198b.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Pinsir (left) and Heracross (right)]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:'''
->'''Voiced in English by:'''
One of the Bug types Goh captured in the sixth episode. Pinsir is usually a background Pokemon, usually seen picking flowers, getting along with other Pokemon or actively avoiding battles.

Goh got Heracross in a trade at the end of ''[=JN033=]'', in exchange for a second Pinsir Go had caught. Its old trainer, Kylie, traded it to Goh after seeing how close Goh's first Pinsir was to it.

* BishieSparkle: Heracross is shown with this when it first saves Pinsir, showing its attraction to him.
* CharacterisationMarchesOn: In its first appearance, Pinsir looked like a fierce battler who managed to trap Ash and Pikachu, but later turns out to be a rather shy Pokémon who dislikes battling. Though this was likely its way of stopping them and allowing its escape.
* HatesBeingTouched: Goh's Pinsir gets very uncomfortable when Kylie tries to cuddle it, to the point it throws her off.
* HornAttack: Heracross knows Fury Attack and Megahorn.
* GentleGiant: [[{{Irony}} Ironically]] for its species, Pinsir. Despite attacking Ash in their first encounter, it's a pacifist who doesn't like to battle and is often seen in the Cerise Institute with [[FriendToAllChildren Caterpie and Weedle.]]
* IMeantToDoThat: Goh only caught Pinsir so easily because when it attacked him, he accidentally threw a Poké Ball among the rocks and sticks he used to protect himself.
* RescueRomance: Pinsir develops an obvious crush on Heracross when he saves its life, though Heracross seems to be oblivious.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Heracross' Y-shaped horn indicates that it's male.

!!Scyther -> Scizor

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_goh_scizor.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Shin-ichiro Miki
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Sam Black

The last of the Kanto Bug types caught by Goh in ''[=JN006=]'' which serves as one of his main battlers. It evovles into Scizor in ''[=JN056=]''.

!!Dewgong (Jugon)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_goh_dewgong.png]]

!!Darmanitan (Hihidaruma)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_go_darmanitan.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/YasuhiroMamiya
->'''Voiced in English by:''' TBD

Goh's second capture in the Unova region. It was one of the Pokémon guarding the Ruins of the Titan but was swiftly caught by Goh just as it sprung to life and attacked.

* TheGadfly: [=JN017=] has it go up to Scorbunny and use Overheat, simply to provoke the bunny into using a Fire-type move. When it sees that Scorbunny can't muster anything but a spark, Darmanitan spends the rest of its screentime mocking Scorbunny and laughing at it.
* LaserGuidedKarma: For all its scaring of Sobble in [=JN054=], it gets a stealthy Water Gun surprise while it's relaxing at the end of the episode.
* PlayingWithFire: Is a Fire-type. It also knows Overheat and seems to enjoy using it.
* ThePrankster: Has a habit of pranking other Pokemon like Sobble.
* PsychicPowers: Has the Zen Mode ability, which gives it access to a Fire/Psychic form.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Has no problem attacking Goh's Bug-types when food is stolen, but immediately runs once [[TheDreaded Scyther]] gets involved.
* SlasherSmile: And it never stops grinning.
* SmugSuper: It very much embraces his superiority over Scorbunny.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Mocking Scorbunny over how the bunny can't use Fire-type moves causes Scorbunny to try and learn Ember. This also makes its relationship with Goh fracture when Goh dismisses Scorbunny's desires to learn a Fire-type move and when it evolves into Raboot (and his personality changes), Raboot gives Goh a cold shoulder.

!!Golurk (Goloog)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goh_golurk.png]]

Another Pokémon caught in the Unova region. The Ruins of the Titan's eponymous Titan, this giant Golurk was caught by Goh after a raid battle between Ash, Goh, and the characters of the day.

* BareFistedMonk: Knows Hammer Arm.
* TheBerserker: What happens when its PowerLimiter is removed.
* BigGood: Referred to as the Guardian Deity of the Cerise Institute. It is Go's strongest Pokémon by a WIDE margin and protects all the smaller Pokémon when there is internal discord, such as during the FeudEpisode.
* ExtraOreDinary: Knows Flash Cannon.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Allows the smaller Pokémon of the Cerise Institute to play on it, and protects Goh's Cascoon during a fight between Goh's other Pokémon.
* GentleGiant: After its capture, it sits atop a hill in the Cerise Institute, watching over the other Pokémon. Golurk are already a large species, but this one is specifically noted to be giant ''compared to other Golurk.''
* HumongousMecha: Has the appearance of one (fitting of its classification of the Automaton Pokémon), and is notable for being the first Giant Pokémon caught by a main character.
* OneHitKO: During the Raid Battle, it's able to knock out every Pokémon in one hit, including ''Pikachu''.
* PowerLimiter: The seal on Golurk's chest keeps it from losing control. When it breaks off in ''[=JN023=]'', it has the power to flood the Cerise Institute.
* TransformingMecha: Can transform into a cannon to launch an extremely powerful attack, though it's beaten by Ash's Dragonite and Goh's Darmanitan before it gets the chance to fire it.
* WeatherManipulation: When its chest seal was removed, its immense power summoned a downpour, though not the move Rain Dance.

!!Skwovet -> Greedent (Hoshigarisu -> Yokubarisu)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_goh_skwovet.png]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_goh_greedent.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Noriaki Kanze
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Michele Knotz

Goh's second capture in the Galar region. It first appears after Goh finished explaining to Ash the nature of the World Tournament system to prepare him for battling Leon.

* BigEater: Makes its debut by jumping onto the table and scoffing Ash's scones before becoming captured. This also becomes a plot point in ''[=JN023=]'' as it's the reason the entire situation with the disappearing food happened in the first place. Goh enters it into an eating contest in ''[=JN047=]'' which it wins.
* BulletSeed: Has this as one of its attacks. Goh has Skwovet use the attack to spit out excess seeds while it devours berries during the eating contest.
* TheDeterminator: Its determination to win the eating contest when it's the last Pokemon standing allows it to evolve into Greedent and claim victory.
* FireBreathingDiner: Willingly puts some Tamato Berry juice into its Pecha tart in [=JN047=] when it starts getting full. The spicy juice overworks its metabolism and resets its taste buds to get back in the game.
* GreenThumb: Knows Bullet Seed, a Grass Type move.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Its hoarding of food was the reason for episode 23's chaos.
* KarmaHoudini: Skwovet gets away with not only stealing the food, but for causing drama between the rest of Goh’s Pokémon.
* NoSell: It ate some of Team Rocket's bloating cookies in ''[=JN047=]'' but unlike the other competitors, its stomach immediately shrunk back to normal.
* OhCrap: Its reaction at the end of episode 23 after knocking Golurk's chest seal off.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Its habit of taking food and storing it away is what leads to the other Pokémon getting hungry, going berserk and nearly ''flood the Cerise Institute'' in Episode 23. After this incident, Ash and Goh decide to leave extra food for it in the future so it won't continue to take the others' for its hideaway.

!!Magikarp (Koiking)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/goh_magikarp_5.png]]
In ''[=JN024=]'', Professor Cerise sent Ash and Goh to the Sinnoh Resort Area to investigate a mysterious Pokémon called "The Lord". Said Pokémon is a giant Magikarp, caught by Goh with the help of Ash and Team Rocket.

* ADayInTheLimelight: The first half of ''[=JN026=]'' focuses on it participating in a Magikarp High Jump Tournament.
* TheCatfish: Known as "The Lord". When Ash and Goh arrive at the Resort Area, there are already several other fishers there trying to catch it.
* CursedWithAwesome: Even with the MythologyGag below. Its Splash does a decent amount of damage to high-level Rocket members with the fish being large and having an amazing jumping ability.
* DisneyDeath: During the Magikarp High Jump Tournament, when it jumps high enough to reach space. Ash even reads a eulogy in memory of all the good times they had together. [[spoiler: It returns by the end of the second half of the episode.]]
* InASingleBound: Its jumping ability is incredible, able to break the glass ceiling of the Cerise Laboratory.
** Taken ''WAY'' UpToEleven in ''[=JN026=]'', where after rigorous training its jump can ''break orbit''.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Given its massive size, its Splash is more than capable of holding off even high-level Team Rocket members.
* MythologyGag: Its appearance at the Resort Area in Sinnoh is a reference to the Magikarp that can be caught there up to ''Level 100''.
** The training methods and competition it participates in during ''[=JN026=]'' reference the ''VideoGame/PokemonMagikarpJump'' mobile game.
* PowerLimiter: It's revealed in the finals of the Magikarp High Jump Tournament that Magikarp was wearing weights throughout the tournament. The weights are so heavy that ''two Machamp'' struggle to carry them.
* SecondarySexualCharacteristics: Magikarp has got Yellow Whiskers, indicating that it's a male.
* ShockwaveStomp: Uses its Splash to this effect.
* TrainingMontage: Goes through one in ''[=JN026=]'' to lose weight and get ready for the Magikarp High Jump Tournament.
* WeightWoe: The first half of ''[=JN026=]'' shows it's put on a lot of weight at the Cerise Institute.

!!Sobble -> Drizzile (Messon -> Jimereon)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_goh_sobble.png]]

* BigEater: It devours at least three plates of curry and a few croquettes.

* CharacterDevelopment: After meeting Jaqueline's Inteleon in [=JN054=], it makes an effort to improve its battle and stealth skills.
* CowardlyLion: It's timid and a crybaby, but that doesn't mean it's ''weak''. Once it was motivated by Goh, it managed to escape the cage Team Rocket trapped it in and run away to safety.
* EmotionBomb: True to its species, whenever Sobble starts crying, it causes other Pokémon and even humans to cry as loudly and [[OcularGushers excessively wet]] as well.
* HitAndRunTactics: Eventually develops this style of battling, culminating in learning an actual hit and run attack in U-turn.
* IneffectualLoner: After evolving, Drizzile retreats into a burrow away from everyone else. Goh realizes it needs space to accept its new form, so he lets it be after they come to an understanding.
* {{Invisibility}}: It can do this if it gets water splashed on it, perfectly blending into its environment. It can be foiled if sand or similar projectiles get thrown onto it though.
* MakingASplash: It's a Water-type.
* OcularGushers: Induces this in other people and Pokémon once it starts crying, whether it be from being scared or just TearsOfJoy.
* PeekABangs: Gains them as Drizzile, adding to its loner front.
* ProneToTears: True to its species, Sobble tends to cry a lot, to the point where it can make other beings around it cry as well.

* ShrinkingViolet: It shies away from other people and Pokémon and when cornered, it starts to cry. Loudly.
* TookALevelInBadass: Learns U-turn in [=JN054=], along with improving its stealth to the point it finally manages to get revenge on Darmanitan at the end of the episode.
** Right before evolving, it shows how much it's been training and gaining confidence by sniping small objects with Water Gun.
* TookALevelInCynic: Upon evolving into Drizzile, it becomes a lot more moody and distances itself from everyone else in the institute, including towards Goh.
* WhenHeSmiles: After evolving, Drizzile sports a gentle smile while wiping away some of Goh's tears.

A female Pikachu Goh caught in Kanto, who later asked to be evolved into Raichu with a Thunder Stone when Team Rocket caused havoc in her home forest.

* CombatMedic: Her knowledge in healing berry foraging can equate her to this.
* DoesNotKnowHerOwnStrength: After evolving to Raichu, she tries to hug Pikachu and accidentally body checks him instead.
* NiceGirl: While the first few Pikachu in the forest outright refused to be caught, this Pikachu immediately offered a Pecha Berry to Goh when he got smacked in the face with a Poke Ball. She later brings a clump of berries in her tail to the Institute to share them with Pokemon and people alike.
* ShockAndAwe: She's an Electric-type.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Has the flat-tipped tail of female Raichu and as a Pikachu, had the heart-shaped tail notch.
* UnwantedAssistance: She is extremely pushy about helping others. Even when someone is full, she will forcibly chase them down to try and feed them more Berries.

A Galarian fossil Pokemon that is brought to life by the fossil researchers Cara Liss and Gasattsu during a study on hybrid resurrection. Upon seeing Arctozolt bond with Goh, the researchers ask for him to look after it; resulting in Arctozolt's capture.

* AnIcePerson: Primary type and knows Icy Wind.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Par for the course in Galar with the native fossil Pokemon. Goh is skeptical, but still accepts it.

!!Suicune
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_goh_suicune.png]]

* BlowYouAway: Its roars are usually accompanied by a strong gust.
* BreakingOldTrends: Quite shockingly, Suicune is the first Legendary Pokémon to be caught by one of Ash's travelling companions, ''and kept'' as Eternatus had to be [[TooAwesomeToUse sealed away]].

* DefrostingIceQueen: Even though it was rescued from poachers who would have forced it to be used for their own means, it doesn't take lightly to that meaning being captured in a Poké Ball. It lightens up after Goh heals it from its poison and injuries and gives the Pokémon it protected some food.
* IChooseToStay: At the end when Goh puts its ball down to release it, Suicune touches the Pokeball with its nose, allowing it to be sent back in and remain his Pokémon.
* MakingASplash: A Water-type that knows Hydro Pump.

The Galar's Grass-type Starter Pokémon, Goh caught it when it snuck into the Cerise Institute.

* CompanionCube: Grookey's stick serves as this for it. It becomes truly saddened when it's separated from said stick courtesy of Team Rocket.

* HeavySleeper: Falls asleep once it's used up all its energy.

* TheReveal: It is revealed that Grookey was a Rocket Prize Master Pokemon that managed to escape.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Goh is unaware of Ash's unique powers, Aura and Bond Phenomenon, and reputation as Alola's Champion, although he also unaware of his past adventures and achievements but he does mention those to him whenever it was an activity, comes up, meets a friend or associate of his.

All of the Pokémon caught by Goh, in the order in which he added them to his Pokédex.

* RotatingProtagonist: The Galarian Starter Pokémon Goh caught are this with Scorbunny first taking the spotlight until its evolution into Cinderace although it still makes regular appearances, Sobble then takes the spotlight until its evolution into Drizzile, which causes it to isolate itself inside a cave, which then causes Grookey to become Goh's main Walking Pokémon.

%%* BrilliantButLazy: After evolving and retreating into a burrow, Goh finds Drizzile's lair littered with water traps.

%%* IneffectualLoner: After evolving, Drizzile retreats into a burrow away from everyone else. Goh realizes it needs space to accept its new form, so he lets it be after they come to an understanding.

%%* WrongGenreSavvy: As it starts evolving, Sobble thinks it will go straight to the Inteleon form. One look at its new reflection later and it becomes too depressed to do anything.

* KarmaHoudini: Goh‘a Skwovet gets away with not only stealing the food, but for causing drama between the rest of Goh’s Pokémon.

** His stubbornness. Despite being the intellectual foil to Ash, his tunnel vision in regards to catching Pokémon sometimes gets in the way of crucial things about being a Trainer. Examples include, initially rejecting Scorbunny's wish to be his partner (due to wanting to have Mew be his starter), wasting all his Poké Balls on a sole Dewgong -- without battling it first -- preventing him from capturing a member of the Dragonite line, refusing to actually get into battles or even battling Pokémon to capture them (barring Scyther, Sandile and Golurk), and ''[=JN017=]'' has him reject the idea of Scorbunny learning Ember (after Scorbunny failed many times to perform this attack) because he assumes that Double Kick/Quick Attack is already perfect.

** A third flaw, stemming from his desire not to make friends and focus on Mew, is that he has a hard time understanding others. A small spat between him and Ash makes him think their friendship has ended. In ''[=JN007=]'', he mistakes a trainer's playful banter for insults, then lashes out at him. In ''[=JN017=]'', instead of encouraging Scorbunny's desire to train and improve its moveset, he discourages his Pokémon and says that his Pokémon's Quick Attack and Double Kick are enough. He meant to comfort his Pokémon and keep it from struggling and pushing itself so hard, but it took Ash explaining things to him that he isn't trying to see things from his Pokémon's perspective. In ''[=JN032=]'', he misunderstood Horace falling ill as Horace downright abandoning him, thus souring his views on friendship for two years and isolating himself from other people.

** ''[=JN032=] hints that this might be the case, possibly from [[WeUsedToBeFriends having broken a friendship before]]. He befriended a boy named Horace during a vacation in Azalea Town who promised that they'd meet up again to find Celebi, but Goh was left waiting and thus thought Horace just downright abandoned him, spurring him to give up making human friends, become obsessed in finding Mew and capturing Pokemon just so he always has company and never feels hurt or abandoned again. [[spoiler:It turns out that this was a huge misunderstanding; Horace didn't abandon him, he fell ill and couldn't go see him in the storm.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: He tells Scorbunny that he should expand his horizons when they first meet. Yet, in the preview of ''[=JN017=]'', he's shown to be dismissive of Scorbunny's desire to become stronger because he thinks that Double Kick/Quick Attack is perfect.

** In ''[=JN022=]'', he admits that it's his fault for why he and Raboot's bond has separated and decides that it's better back in Hoenn. However, Ash does not buy this as he asks if Goh ''told'' Raboot about this decision,.
** In ''[=JN028=]'', Goh blames himself for forcing Sobble into battle, thus causing the Water-type to run away, because he didn't consider its feelings. This time Ash states that Goh wasn't going to get it on the first try and to try again.
** In ''[=JN032=]'' he felt that it was his fault that Horace abandoned him all those years ago and thus did his best to not make any friends to no longer feel hurt. [[spoiler:It turns out that this wasn't his fault; Horace just fell ill and couldn't make it.]]

* AwesomeByAnalysis: ''[=JN047=]'' shows he has a keen eye as his opponent for the eating contest second round didn't eat the cookies Team Rocket brought -- not just because they would immediately bloat the stomachs of those who ate it -- but because their Muk hated sweet things. Goh also decided that they would eat the Pecha Tart because of its sweetness and even had Skowvet keep a Tamato Berry on hand to not only change tastes but also have the spiciness overwork its metabolism to keep on eating!

** This gets averted in [=JN010=] where he uses ''every single Poké Ball'' he had on him just to catch one Dewgong and later realizes it too late when he attempts to catch a Dragonite, again in [=JN011=], with the three Wurmple he previously caught in [=JN007=]. He caught three in the hopes that he would get at least one of each of the two possible Wurmple evolutions; unfortunately for him, all three Wurmple evolve into Cascoon, leaving him with no Silcoon. Later examples of trickier captures for him include Farfetch'd in [=JN020=], Flygon in [=JN036=] and Aerodactl in [=JN038=] though they remain exceptions to the overall rule.

** Captures three Wurmple in ''[=JN007=]'' so he can get both Silcoon and Cascoon. Unfortunately all three of his Wurmple evolve into Cascoon.

** ''[=JN003=]'' hints at this. When he and Ash get into an argument on helping an Ivysaur climb the wall, Goh states that Ash is helping out of human conceit and that interfering with helping them is "robbing it of its will to live". And upon Ash stating that he doesn't want to be Goh's friend, Goh coldly mutters "So, you're one of ''those'' guys, too."
** ''[=JN032=]'' reveals that he made a friend in Horace when they were younger but felt like he was betrayed when Horace didn't show up for their hunt for Celebi. [[spoiler:It turns out Horace wanted to go but he caught a fever on that day and blamed himself for not being able to see Goh again.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: ''[=JN032=]'' focuses on him with no Ash in sight.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the GottaCatchEmAll variety. Goh is capturing lots of Pokemon both so he can build a team to fight Mew and to complete his Pokedex. However, he's gotten so obsessed with it -- to the point that his parents were concerned about his social skills -- that ''[=JN032=]'' has him state that he's glad he has Pokemon because he knows they'll never betray him unlike people. In other words, he sees them as replacements for his own lack of human companionship.

** In ''[=JN010=]'', he fills his backpack with Poké Balls in preparation for Dragonite Island...and proceeds to use every single one just for a sole Dewgong he wanted to use to travel to said island without bothering to battle it first.
** In ''[=JN011=]'', he attempts to catch a rogue Gengar loose in the Cerise Institute, his first Pokéball is deflected and hits him in the head. Even when he tries throwing multiple Poké Balls, are all deflected back at him.
** It takes him three tries to catch Farfetch'd in [=JN020=], and the first two end poorly for Goh.
