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 counterpart.
- 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.
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. 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
