Seaking (#119) is a Water-type Pokémon from the Kanto region (Generation 1) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 2,474 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Seaking can be effective with the right strategy. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Seaking in 2026.
Seaking's Attack stat is 175 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Seaking to contribute meaningful damage.
With 147 Defense (Good) and 190 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 512. This gives Seaking reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Water-type Pokémon, Seaking's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Seaking depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Peck (Fast) with Ice Beam (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Seaking has 3 Fast Attacks and 5 Charged Attacks to choose from. Note that Seaking has Elite TM moves that may outperform standard options in certain formats.
In Great League, Seaking can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Water typing provides useful matchups against Fire, Water, Ice-type threats while being weak to Electric, Grass types.
In Ultra League, Seaking reaches 2,162 CP at Level 40. Pair it with Pokémon that cover its weaknesses.
In Master League, Seaking faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Seaking's effectiveness depends on its typing and 175 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Seaking use Electric, Grass-type moves.
Seaking can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Rainy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Seaking is part of a 2-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
