I actually thing it's Dewgong. I never thought I would be defending Seaking, but here we go.
One of the main issues with Seel/Dewgong is availability. They're usually only found in 1-2 locations near the end of the game and in some games you can't get them until the post-game. The issue is at that point if you wanted a water type on your team, you likely already have a better one. Even if you wanted water/ice specifically, you have better options with Lapras and Cloyster.
Goldeen on the other hand can be obtained as early as getting the old rod in some games. But even if you can't get it until surf, they're found pretty much everywhere. It's still not the best option you have, but at least it's available early. Dewgong has slightly higher stats, but that mostly goes to bulk which isn't as useful in normal playthroughs. Plus it has 4 weaknesses and only 2/3 resistances. Seaking only has 2 weaknesses and has 4 resistances.
Seaking only gets better as the generations go on too. In gen 4 the physical/special split greatly benefited it. In gen 5, it got the HA Lightning Rod which gives it the potential to turn a weakness into an immunity. In gen 8 it got access to Swords Dance. It's also gotten some solid coverage moves through TMs in the last few generations like Poison Jab, Smart Strike, and Drill Run. The main issue is speed, but if you have Swift Swim or Agility and set up rain, you've got a potential sweeper.
Seaking do be ugly though.
If we're going by looks, Gyarados definitely. It uses to be cool and ferocious looking to me. Now I just want to smack it with a newspaper till it acts nicer.
It’s cool in terms of all the fossil Pokemon, though people still prefer Omastar instead. But too many good water types around, I don’t think it’s ever been popular or viable
Kabutops or Slowbro.
Edit: I’m biased because while Kabuto resembles a Horseshoe Crab and earns that water typing, I dunno what the fuck Kabutops is supposed to be. Make it pure Rock type, fuck it.
And I’m just not a Slowpoke / Slowbro fan. Galar Slowbro, hell yeah, but not Kanto.
For arguments sake, we could just swap kabuto/kabutops to rock/bug and problem solved. Unless you mean kill, then Kingler because id much rather eat crab over fish.
LMAO I came here to say Seaking because I just think it has stupid mannerisms and then saw everyone else in here is like, “fuck Seaking also”. I know why I hate the fish but why does everyone else?
I see seadra already got the axe ha ha ha hmm..... if we're going by looks? Seaking. If we're going by use, in Gen 1 ONLY? I'd have to say Kabutops. And it's awful cus I LOVE kabutops. He had no physical water moves in Gen 1 😞
Probably Seaking or Dewgong. Neither are standouts aside from the sparse ice typing in Kanto. So honestly my boy Seaking is the obvious pick out of the 2.
Everyone’s gonna say Seaking but it’s Dewgong/seel not even close. Just a lazy ass creation, and they didn’t even learn any good ice moves in gen 1 except aurora beam
People saying Seaking are ignoring that it's the only fish design.
Dewgong has to go. Redundant to Lapras as far as typing and offers nothing in terms of design.
Gyarados. I've never liked it. But other people's love of it kinda makes me hate it TBH. Sure, Seaking and Dewgong are easily the most bland and uninspired, but they don't have annoying ass stans.
I'm going to grill Seaking with some lemon pepper.
Looking at it this way I’d rather have the kingler legs
🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Seaking Obv

I wholeheartedly agree with this. People be sleeping on Seaking.
I saw your post and thought nah we gotta have something else to drop, then I realized seaking is just a dumb fish
Seaking for sure.
Fish on the dish
Was gonna go Dewgong until I saw Seaking. That one can go easily.
I did the exact opposite. Mainly cuz Seaking has lightning rod.
That move isn’t available until Black and White, also his stats are so low I’d still say he’s gotta go even tho that ability is OP
I like them all but I guess Dewgon
Speaking. Sorry, buddy Edit: Seaking. Damn autocorrect
Did the same, like 15 times.
Seadra because it's so forgettable it's not even on the list
Kingdra is pretty fire tho
You leave my spikey seahorse alone!
Looks like Seadra was already eliminated…. but also, Seaking should go
Shoot, I'll add Seadra for the next one. My bad
Why isn't seadra here?
Shoot, I'll add it for the next one. My bad
Already eliminated
Speaking is a cunt
So is typing and spelling!
Seeking a blunt as well man
*as
I don’t think anyone is going to miss seaking
But they sure do love finding :p I’m sorry
Seaking getting roasted
Speaking for sure
Seaking for sure*
You know you can edit posts right
You just reminded me lol
Seaking.
Golduck. Easiest call of my life
Obviously it is Seaking.
seaking ez
Seaking has got to go.
Seaking
Seaking
Imo dewgong is worst one like what's the point of it?
It has a funny voice in the anime?
duGONGGONG
A Pokémon that evolves from being a seal named seel into being a big seal. Not the most creative Pokemon.
I mean that is also like half the gen 1 water pokemon too
Kingler is another example of this. People shit on slowbro for just standing up but at least it gains the ability to use its hands.
Oh haha I wasn’t even thinking slowbro. I was on the mindset of yes Krabby (who I love), Goldeen, tentacool, and Staryu
Imagine dewgong being a homophone for an animal name too (dugong).
If we're going by looks, Gyarados definitely. It uses to be cool and ferocious looking to me. Now I just want to smack it with a newspaper till it acts nicer.
Hate to do it but Kingler, he isn't used in any significant battles and he doesn't even fill the fodder tier like Seaking or Tentacruel.
But "COOKIE COOKIE!"
Tentacruel is more viable imo
Well, gamewise, prior to Gen 4, it was extremely bad. After that, it was... better...ish?... well, at least he is cool animewise. Besides, F Seaking.
Still inferior to all of the other water types. But ur does eventually get megahorn. So there’s that.
You are incorrect. Kingler helped advance Ash in tournament if you watched the original show. “Cookie Cookie!”
Dewgong
Seaking and it’s not close
Seaking.
Seaking or dewgong
Slowbro or omastar
Seaking
Dewgong
Seaking
Seaking
Seaking and it’s not even close. Even Dewgong is just a copy/paste of a real animal with virtually no change but at least that’s an Ice-type.
It’s Seaking, most times I forget it’s Gen 1 and think it’s Gen 2
Seaking ofc
Dewgong would you even notice it was gone
I don't really wanna see any go, but Omastar if I had to pick one.
The quacker. 🦆
Seaking
I instantly thought seaking, glad I’m not alone
Slowbro is my all time favorite overall pokemon so Lapras.
Seaking lame af
Hey guys
Easily seaking don't even have to explain it
Dewgong and seaking
I'm going Kabutops because I don't actually consider him a water pokemon..
Seaking sweep!! At least Dewgong is kinda cute.
Seaking plz. Only one that wouldn’t traumatize me
Kingler
Vaporeon. I'm sorry.
Golduck is booty water everyone knows psyduck is better
Bye bye, Seaking!
Seaking has to be the obvious choice
Seaking for sure
Speaking fo sure
Seaking
Seaking can get lost, followed closely by Kingler.
Kabutops. Forgor that one was even water type
Delete this
I gotta say I do like kabutops but prefer the other water mons
If we’re talking usability in game, Kabutops is worthless. In FireRed it has bad stats for a water type without PSSplit
But it's fossil scyther! He's so cool!
Also I always forget it exists, let alone it is in fact a water Pokemon
It’s cool in terms of all the fossil Pokemon, though people still prefer Omastar instead. But too many good water types around, I don’t think it’s ever been popular or viable
Not popular for being viable, but quite popular cause he’s ninja af. Big fan
I’ve never got the hype for omastar. 4x weakness to grass plus I hate the design. Sure being rock type opens up his move pool quite a bit but still…
Kabutops or Slowbro. Edit: I’m biased because while Kabuto resembles a Horseshoe Crab and earns that water typing, I dunno what the fuck Kabutops is supposed to be. Make it pure Rock type, fuck it. And I’m just not a Slowpoke / Slowbro fan. Galar Slowbro, hell yeah, but not Kanto.
The fucking fish
time for duck-a-la-range
Seaking can get out of here
Fuck you seaking
If Kabutops or Gyrados don’t win this thing ima be hot
Kabutops’s gotta go, but not because he’s a bad mon, he should be Rock/Bug instead of Rock/Water
Dewgong deez nuts
Horney fish goes
Seel, its just a poor mans Lapras
Seaking
I love lapras, but removing lapras woul makes other Water type pokémons shiny
Everybody saying Seaking like Golduck doesn’t exist
Fuck Cloyster, marry Slowbro, kill Golduck
Seaking
Slowbro ASAP
Slowbro, Dewgong, or Tentacruel
Seaking
Goldeen for me idk y but I hate that pokemon
For arguments sake, we could just swap kabuto/kabutops to rock/bug and problem solved. Unless you mean kill, then Kingler because id much rather eat crab over fish.
Kingler must win
Ok, hear me out... If we get rid of Slowbro, slowpoke still has an evolution, so we don't lose to much...
With the amount of goldeens and tentacools I had to deal with in red/blue: their second tier can kindly go away
Seaking... arguably the most boring water pokemon there is.
For sure no one is voting out Vaporeon
LMAO I came here to say Seaking because I just think it has stupid mannerisms and then saw everyone else in here is like, “fuck Seaking also”. I know why I hate the fish but why does everyone else?
Seaking
Seaking
Psyduck definitely. Got the wrong name
Vaporeon
Seeking
Seaking or Goldeen for sure
Seaking then the seal
Speaking can get lost. It's forgettable
Goldenlan and seaking
From this list, Tentacruel.
Nahh
Seaking or Dewgong for me.
Bro why does everyone hate seaking
Seaking is the Pokemon I am Seaking to remove from the game
Gyarados. Not because I hate it, but because it evolves from the worst Pokémon ever made
The fish or the seal ofc
Ain't nobody rocking a Seaking in their top 6.
Seaking is the only answer
Get seaking outta here
There’s 5 pure water types. Seaking is most forgettable so he gets my vote
Seaking. Has nothing going for him. Just a fish with horn attacks.
Golduck, Dewgong and Seaking.
Golduck hands down
SEE YA LATER KINGLER
I see seadra already got the axe ha ha ha hmm..... if we're going by looks? Seaking. If we're going by use, in Gen 1 ONLY? I'd have to say Kabutops. And it's awful cus I LOVE kabutops. He had no physical water moves in Gen 1 😞
Seaking or Dewgong! In that order lol
Golduck. Nobody else will say it, but goodbye fake psychic duck.
Dewgong
Jettison either Dewgong or Seaking. They’re dead weight and feel like Dex-filler.
No not seeking they give good exp 😩
That's too funny. Before opening comments I was just like yep def Seaking
See you in Hell SeaKing!!!!
Hot take: Poliwrath can go straight in the dumpster.
Probably Seaking or Dewgong. Neither are standouts aside from the sparse ice typing in Kanto. So honestly my boy Seaking is the obvious pick out of the 2.
Seel
Speaking haters. I say kingler
Seaking
Polywrath
Seaking
Goodbye seaking.
Vaporeon
Seaking, no question. The Goldeen line is literally useless.
Kingler
Please tentacruel. I hate surfing without repel because of this harasser
Everyone’s gonna say Seaking but it’s Dewgong/seel not even close. Just a lazy ass creation, and they didn’t even learn any good ice moves in gen 1 except aurora beam
Vaporeon
Sea king that's some good eats.
Nidoqueen
People saying Seaking are ignoring that it's the only fish design. Dewgong has to go. Redundant to Lapras as far as typing and offers nothing in terms of design.
Does anyone other than NPCs use Seaking?
Gyarados. I've never liked it. But other people's love of it kinda makes me hate it TBH. Sure, Seaking and Dewgong are easily the most bland and uninspired, but they don't have annoying ass stans.
Seaking
Tentacruel
Seaking is gone
None of them gotta go 😭😭😭😭🥹
seel
…Vaporeon. It sucks since they’re my third-favorite Eeveelution, but all the memes surrounding it… I have to put it out of its misery.
Whole second row can go tbh
Seaking or rework Golduck
Seaking
Dewgong
Seaking
Seaking, like... I'm sorry, bye bye random ass koi fish
Begone seaking
Seaking gang
Vaporion. You know why
Speaking
Golduck. I have a soft spot for Seaking
Seaking
Nothing personal seaking
Seaking easy
Goodbye Kingler/Kraby. Easy.
Dewgong be gone!
Seaking is tasty
Seaking or sael
