(Disclaimer: Goldfish having a three-second memory is a total wives’ tale, but it makes for a good joke here, so nyeh.) Still, they’re present, even if you tend to forget about them almost as quickly as an actual goldfish would. Goldeen and Seaking rarely get front-and-center treatment, but they’re such unassuming fishies that they seem to show up everywhere when the anime needs an establishing shot of an aquatic biome. It gets a lot of fun moves to use with its horn – Megahorn, Poison Jab, Drill Run, and so on – but it just doesn’t have the oomph to use them especially well, unfortunately.
All of its stats are at or below average, and just-plain-water is the least interesting type that isn’t Normal. Seaking unfortunately isn’t an especially strong teammate, either. It being somewhere between two actual fish strikes me as a good base for a fantasy creature, if not a particularly inspiring one in this case. Technically these guys are based on actual goldfish, but their color patterns have always reminded me much more strongly of koi, to be honest.
Plus, unlike Goldeen, she does have those distinct, fishy globe-eyes! There’s not much especially kingly about Seaking – in fact, this sucker is kinda ugly in my opinion, but I do appreciate that not all animals in this fantasy setting are aesthetically-pleasing.
