Seaking (アズマオウ, Azumaō, Azumao in original Japanese language versions) are one of the Template:Pokenum fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar Pokémon media franchise—a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards, and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. The purpose of Seaking in the games, anime, and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon—untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments—and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.
The "sea" in Seaking's name refers to the fact that it is a water-inhabiting Pokémon. "King" is probably a reference to its unevolved form's name, Goldeen (a portmanteau of "gold" and "queen"). Hence, its name means "king of the sea." Its name was originally going to be "Neptune". Its Japanese name refers to azumanishiki (東錦) for one kind of "goldfish" and ō (王) for "king".

In other media
Seaking has made various appearances in the Pokémon anime, usually with small roles or cameos. (Its most notable appearance was the episode Hook, Line and Stinker, in which a Seaking-catching competition very similar to the bug-catching competition took place. The winner was whoever caught the heaviest Seaking; in the episode a tie was broken with a battle between the Pokémon used by the trainers to catch these Seaking.) In the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Seaking has appeared in the Jungle set, Base Set 2, Gym Heroes, Neo Revelations, Aquapolis, EX Ruby & Sapphire and EX Deoxys.
