Seaking (Japanese: アズマオウ Azumao) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Goldeen starting at level 33.
Biology
Seaking is a primarily orange-and-white, fishlike Pokémon. It has round, dark eyes, prominent pink lips, two small fangs, and a cream-colored horn in the center of its forehead. A female will have a smaller horn than a male. Most of its body is orange with a patch of white under its mouth and along its underside. There are several black markings on its body: two thick lines under each eye, a large wavy patch on its back, and several speckles near its tail. It has billowing pectoral fins and a pair of tail fins shaped like butterfly wings, all of which are white speckled with black. However, its dorsal fin is pure white and rigid.
Seaking is a very powerful swimmer that is found in rivers and streams. It can swim not only against a river's current, but up waterfalls as well. In the autumn spawning season, it grows fatter and more vibrant. It travels upriver where male Seaking engage in elaborate dances to court females. The female would go for the Seaking with the most graceful dance.
Seaking uses its powerful horn to bore holes in riverbed boulders in order to shelter its Eggs from water currents. A mated pair take turns patrolling around their new nest for roughly a month and defend it with their lives. There are two different groups of Trainers who are obsessed with Seaking's horns or dorsal fins. However, the groups cannot get along with each other. In the past, Waterfall was its signature move.

Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Seaking's prototype name was "Neptune", after the fake character of the sea in Roman mythology.
- Seaking and Goldeen are the only Pokémon that can learn Waterfall through leveling up.
- Seaking's number in the Sinnoh Pokédex and the Johto Pokédex are the same: 079.
- In Gold, Silver, and Crystal Versions, it appears that Seaking was originally set to learn Supersonic as one of its three starting moves. However, the game programmers made an error and filled the third data slot with Tail Whip, so Seaking ended up with two starting moves instead.
Origin
Seaking seems to be based on a goldfish, specifically the ryukin and oranda breeds due to its plump body and billowing tail. Its colorful scales resemble the azuma nishiki and shubunkin goldfish breeds as well as the taishō sanshoku and shōwa sanshoku koi fish breeds. Its behavior is reminiscent of the sockeye salmon, whose bodies flush red as they swim upstream and climb waterfalls during their breeding season. Its horn may be a reference to Matsya, a giant horned fish that is one of the avatars assumed by the Hindu fake character Vishnu.
Name origin
Seaking may be a combination of sea and king (as a compliment to queen in Goldeen), and possibly a corruption of seeking (referring to how it seeks out mates and breeding grounds).
Azumao may be derived from 東錦 azuma nishiki (a variety of goldfish) and 王 ou (king) . Taken literally, it means 東王 azuma-ō (east king).
