A horned goldfish with pretty gills, Pokémon’s Seaking is ready to catch - but only if you learn its locations, moves, base stats, and more from this guide.

An intriguing horn and towering height at four feet, Pokémon's Seaking is a fierce ally and strong swimmer. Did you know that it's capable of swimming up waterfalls? It may be that it's less like a goldfish and more like a salmon after all. I wouldn't advise trying to eat it, though.

Anyway, to get Seaking, you'll need your daily dose of Pokémon Go codes and Pokémon Pokopia Mystery Gift codes if you want to see a completed Pokédex. Now let's find out all about this huge fish.
