Evolution

2 stages
GoldeenSeaking

Evolves into Seaking at level 33.

Evolve now or wait

from the game's learnsets and the relearner rule

Goldeen evolves at level 33. Nothing is lost by evolving straight away: every move Goldeen learns after that, Seaking learns too.

Rule the game applies: the Move Relearner in Fallarbor Town (he takes a Heart Scale) teaches only the level-up moves of the form you hand him, at or below its current level. Delaying an evolution costs the evolved form's higher base stats for every level you wait; a move you barely use is not worth that.
