Both Professor Oak and Ash Ketchum have owned Seaking in the past, though Ash released his only a short time after capturing it.

Juan also owns a Seaking, which was used in a Gym Battle against Ash in The Great Eight Fate. Juan's Seaking was able to block electrical attacks with Horn Drill and send them back at its opponent.

Trivia

  • "Neptune", the god of the sea of Roman mythology, was Seaking's prototype name.
  • Seaking is the subject of a meme on the *chan sites, known as "F*** YEAH SEAKING", in which it destroys things. Many declare it a forced meme, and use Mudkip as its remedy.
  • If Seaking is based upon "sea" and "king", and Goldeen "queen of the sea", then a queen is evolving into a king.
  • Seaking and Goldeen are the only Pokémon that can learn Waterfall through leveling up. This makes it one of few Pokémon released to be able to learn an HM move by level-up.


  • Seaking and the two Pokémon proceeding it in the National Pokédex(of the Original 151 Pokémon), Staryu and Starmie all begin with 'S' and all three are water type Pokémon.
  • Seaking is 1 of 33 Pokémon in the National Pokédex (of the Original 151 Pokémon) whose First letter matches more then two other Pokémon in a row.
  • Seaking, Staryu and Starmie are 3 of only 6 Pokémon in the National Pokédex(of the Original 151 Pokémon) clustered together where the first letter of their names matches and not be in the same Evolutionary Chain. The other three is Electrode, Exeggcute and Exeggutor. (thought Staryu and Starmie make up their own Evolutionary Chain, as well as Exeggcute and Exeggutor respectfully.)

Origin

It may just be based on a goldfish. The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god Brahma assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.

Name origin

Seaking's name is simply a combination of sea and king (seeking?). Its Japanese name may be based on 小豆鱒 azukimasu, rock cod and 魔王 ma-ō, devil king. Interestingly enough, its Japanese name may also be taken to literally mean 東王 azuma-ō, East king. Furthermore, an アズマニシキ azumanishiki is a kind of goldfish.

In other languages

  • German: Golking
  • French: Poissoroy - Poisson means fish. Roy could be a mispelling of roi meaning king.
  • Korean: 왕콘치 Wangkonchi
