Nothing about Seaking screams competitive powerhouse, and that's fine. Water means only weak to Electric and Grass. Known as the Goldfish Pokemon. Can go either physical or special depending on the set.
Nothing fancy in Seaking's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 2 Attack stat exp per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.

Good

Seaking is what Goldeen becomes. Breed it for Goldeen eggs (average hatch time). A small partner pool for breeding via one egg group. Eggs are average hatch time. The evolution from Goldeen pushed Seaking to 450 total stats. HP saw the largest single gain at +35.
Gen 2 build content has limited support (no abilities).
Try selecting a different game/generation filter, or check back later.
The natural movepool does the job, but Haze and Hydro Pump from the egg pool give Seaking something extra.
