Seaking punches above its weight class thanks to Swift Swim. It doubles its Speed in rain, which is enough to make up for stats that don't impress on their own. Only weak to Electric and Grass. Known as the Goldfish Pokemon.
Nothing fancy in Seaking's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 2 Attack EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
In the autumn, Seaking males can be seen performing courtship dances in riverbeds to woo females. During this season, this Pokémon’s body coloration is at its most beautiful.
Seaking is very protective of its eggs. The male and female will take turns patrolling around their nest and eggs. The guarding of eggs by these Pokémon goes on for over a month.
Seaking Weakness
GoodSeaking's Water typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric and Grass moves. The Water typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Lightning Rod grants an additional Electric immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. With 80 HP and balanced defenses, Seaking can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
Seaking is what Goldeen becomes. Breed it for Goldeen eggs (average hatch time). No compatible partners 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.
How to Evolve
Breed with Seaking to get Goldeen eggs easily from the Water2 egg group. Notable egg moves include Aqua Tail, Body Slam, Haze and 8 more.
Lightningrod isn't flashy, but it matters. Combined with Mysticwater for extra utility and max Sp. Def and Speed EVs, Seaking fills the special attacker slot reliably. Timid nature finishes the spread.

The natural movepool does the job, but Aqua Tail and Body Slam from the egg pool give Seaking something extra. Pair those with Hydro Pump and Surf for STAB and coverage across 8 types for reach, and the kit fills out nicely.

Seaking looks average on paper at 450 BST. But Swift Swim is why it sees play — build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list.
Goldeen evolves into Seaking at level 33. Seaking is the fully evolved form. It sits at 450 BST in its evolved form.
Seaking gets Swift Swim, Water Veil, and Lightning Rod. But Swift Swim is the one that matters — it's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Seaking is a physical attacker with base 92 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. But the speed tells the real story — at base 68 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
