Stats & Training
Nothing fancy in Seaking's spread. It leans physical with Attack out front. And you'll get 2 Attack EVs per KO for it. Follows a medium-fast 1M XP curve.
Its horn spins like a drill to steadily hollow out rocks—even harder ones. The coloration of the male is more vivid.
To attract females, males dance on the river’s floor. The females gather around the male that dances most gracefully.
Seaking Weakness
Seaking's Water typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric and Grass. The Water typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Lightning Rod grants an additional Electric immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. With 80 HP and balanced defenses, Seaking can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Seaking Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Seaking looks average on paper at 450 BST. But Swift Swim is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. C-Tier on our tier list. Knock Off with Life Orb is the standard set.
Seaking gets Swift Swim, Water Veil, and Lightning Rod. But Swift Swim is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.
Seaking is a mixed attacker with base 92 Attack and 65 Sp. Atk. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. At base 68 Speed, it won't be moving first often.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Seaking's hidden ability is Lightning Rod. Redirects single-target electric moves to this Pokémon where possible. Better than the standard options for competitive play.
