Seaking (Japanese: アズマオウ Azumao) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Goldeen starting at level 33.
Biology
Physiology
Seaking resembles a koi or goldfish, as it is a big orange colored fish with white and black markings. It has a billowing tail fin and similar pectoral fins, all of which are white with black speckles. Along its back, there is another small fin that is pure white. It also has a small to medium sized horn on its head, two big dark eyes, and pink lips with two small, sharp fangs.
Gender differences
A female has a smaller horn.
Special abilities
Seaking is a very powerful swimmer, as it is able to swim against a river's current, and even waterfalls. It also uses its powerful horn to bore holes in solid rock, so as to keep its Eggs safe.
Behavior
In autumn, its body becomes fattier in preparing to propose to a mate. In the spawning season, they gather from all over to travel upriver. During this time, the Seaking males can be seen performing their courtship dances to woo Seaking females. The male also uses its powerful horn to bore holes in riverbed boulders, to keep the Eggs safe, although in other seasons it will make and live in their own nests. Seaking is very protective of its Eggs, defending its Eggs with its life and fighting with its horn. The male and female will take turns patrolling around their nest and Eggs, and the guarding of Eggs by the Seaking goes on for over a month until the Eggs hatch.
Habitat
Seaking are common in bodies of fresh water. They are encountered in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Seaking's prototype name was "Neptune", after the god of the sea in Roman mythology.
- Seaking and Goldeen are the only Pokémon that can learn Waterfall through leveling up.
- Due to this, it is possible to complete any game without finding HM07.
- Seaking's number in the Sinnoh Pokédex and the Johto Pokédex are the same: 079.
- Despite its names in various languages having the word for king in them, there is a 50% chance that Seaking will be female.
Origin
It seems to be based on a species of goldfish known as Azuma Nishiki (東錦), bearing a similar coloration to Shubunkin goldfish. The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god Vishnu assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.
Name origin
Seaking is a combination of sea and king. Additionally, it may be a pun on "sinking".
Azumao may be based on 小豆鱒 azukimasu (rock cod) and 魔王 ma-ō (devil king). It may also be taken to literally mean 東王 azuma-ō (east king). Additionally, 東錦 azuma nishiki is a kind of goldfish and could be combined with 王 ou (king), as a compliment to Goldeen's "queenliness".
