===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.

Seaking (Japanese: アズマオウ Azumao) is a Water-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Goldeen starting at level 33.

Biology

Seaking is a large, orange, fish-like Pokémon. It has billowing caudal and pectoral fins, all of which are white specked with black. Its dorsal fin is pure white. It has round, dark eyes, prominent lips, and small fangs, as well as a horn set in the center of its forehead. Females have smaller horns than males.

Seaking is a very powerful swimmer: it can not only swim against a river's current, but can travel up waterfalls. In the autumn spawning season, it travels upriver, where male Seaking (grown fattier and more vibrant in color) engage in elaborate courtship dances to woo females. Seaking uses its powerful horn to bore holes in riverbed boulders in order to shelter its eggs from water currents. Seaking is very protective of its eggs: male and female Seaking take turns patrolling around their new nest for roughly a month, and will defend it with their lives.

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.
  • 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

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".
