DISCLAIMERS ON FORMATS COVERED:
Notice I said POPULAR formats, meaning a format where there is a significant amount of people who compete in it for tournaments and so on and so forth.
For the record, I do not care what rules or formats people play their battles by nor am I saying these formats are the only formats that should be played. The way you play Pokemon is between you and your opponent. I just like examining popular tournament formats.

8:00 meant to say "and the rhyhorn evolution line"

13 minutes a couple of years ago: "Aw yeah, a true monster!" 13 minutes now: "Oof, sorry little guy..."
-
Tapu Koko: "You... can't defeat me! You're just a big... fat... goldfish!" Seaking uses Lightning Rod: "I'm not a big fat goldfish. I'm THE big fat goldfish!" Specs Hydro Pump

mono water: yo urshifu dark: successfully trolled
-
It’s funny to see how negligable Seaking is, considering how many times I’ve been screwed over by one in Showdown’s random battles
-
I think Kellen set a new record for the quickest covering of Gen 1 for a mon
-
I like how we went from Reshiram to this. The best thing about Seaking is its formerly signature move Waterfall.
-
Seaking received the move Flip Turn in Gen 8, cruelly reminding everyone that Seaking has more viability in a frying pan than it does in a pokemon battle.
-
Guys dont worry, the reason why Zekrom isnt in this weeks video is because all its presence was absorved by Seakings Lightning Rood.
-
"Seaking Horn Drill vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Eviolite Porygon2: 258-304 (999% - 999%) - Guaranteed Death" LMFAO
-
The amount of times people don’t know seaking has lightning rod and use an electric move on it...
-
I'll be honest, I think this video is the first time I've ever really looked at Seaking for any extended period of time.
-
"It was designed to be the most forgettable water type possible." Lumineon: hello
-
"Succinctly summarizing Seaking's sorry situation." The sequel to "Butterfree's boosted Bug Buzz bludgeoned battlers."
-
"F*** yeah Seaking" Know Your meme
-
Honestly Juan Borreguero's usage of and victory with Seaking is so incredible it might as well have been Worlds top 4
-
Mithos, holding a crown: "here King, you dropped this"
-
Ah yes. Gone from the Dragon of Truth, a mascot Legendary and the Yang to Zekrom's Yin... to a Feesh. This is the best timeline.
-
“In Seaking’s case, there were no smaller fishes” Seaking: “Come on, I am still better than Luvdisc!”
-
1st place with a Seaking, on a trick MonoWater, in Gen 8 with all of that Power Creep, inspired by freaking Water 7! That’s a piece of trivia I would have never though I wanted to hear until I heard it.
