I knew that golden fish looked familiar from something I saw in Japan, so I looked through my picture albums and found the golden fish in a picture of Osaka. It turns out that the golden fish is based off of a mythical Japanese creature called a shachihoko, who has the power to make it rain.
So I suppose Nintendo just translated its name and description directly from Japanese and doesn't really know what "make it rain" means in American vernacular.
