In the anime

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. Juan's Seaking was able to block electrical attacks with Horn Drill and send them back at its opponent.

Trivia

Origin

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.

It may just be based on a goldfish.

"Neptune," the god of the sea of Roman mythology, was Seaking's proto-type name.

In other languages

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