Seaking (アズマオウ, Azumaō?, Azumao), known as the Goldfish Pokémon, resembles a koi or goldfish, as it is a big orange colored fish with white and black markings. It also has a horn on its head that is sharp like a drill, two big dark eyes, and pink lips with two small, sharp fangs. In the spawning season, they gather from all over to travel upriver, which colors the rivers a brilliant red. 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, so as to keep the eggs safe, although in other seasons it will make and live in their own nests. 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 was originally called Neptune in the beta, after the Roman god of the sea.

Seaking was featured as an Internet meme sarcastically depicting an angry Seaking with the caption "Fuck yeah, Seaking!". Bitmob's Chas Guidry wrote that its Dream World incarnation would cause the meme to "lose its punchline" due to its ability to resist Electric attacks. He added that this new ability is giving "some of the attention he's longed for since 1996." IGN gave the same criticism it gave Goldeen to Seaking though they added that it had a decent attack boost. They also wrote that while it was a little better than Wartortle, Seaking evolved too late, around where Wartortle would evolve into Blastoise. IGN's Pokémon Chick criticized Seaking for both being a disappointing evolution compared to the evolution from Magikarp to Gyarados and for being "unimaginative in terms of both looks". It became ridiculousy well known after America F Yeah was released
