| ===Special abilities===
| | Seaking is a very powerful swimmer: it can not only swim against a river's current, but can travel up waterfalls. In the autumn spawning season, it travels upriver, where male Seaking (grown fattier and more vibrant in color) engage in elaborate courtship dances to woo females. Seaking uses its powerful horn to bore holes in riverbed boulders in order to shelter its [[Pokémon Egg|eggs]] from water currents. Seaking is very protective of its eggs: male and female Seaking take turns patrolling around their new nest for roughly a month, and will defend it with their lives. |

| ===Behavior===
| |
| In autumn, its body becomes fattier in preparing to propose to a mate. In the spawning season, they gather from all over to travel upriver. During this time, the Seaking males can be seen performing their courtship dances to woo Seaking females. The male also uses its powerful horn to bore holes in riverbed boulders, to keep the Eggs safe, although in other seasons it will make and live in their own nests. Seaking is very protective of its Eggs, defending its Eggs with its life and fighting with its horn. The male and female will take turns patrolling around their nest and Eggs, and the guarding of Eggs by the Seaking goes on for over a month until the Eggs hatch. | |
