Seaking 014/084 – Pitch Black ME05 – Base Common – Near Mint
Pokémon – Seaking – Pitch Black ME05 – 014/084 – Base Common – Near Mint is a Water‑type non‑foil base card from the 2026 Mega Evolution Era Pitch Black expansion. Seaking’s aggressive forward‑charge pose, neon‑blue water distortion and corrupted‑energy shading give it a sharper, more hostile look than traditional Seaking artwork. The ME05 aesthetic pushes its normally calm design into a high‑contrast, battle‑ready style. As an early‑set Water‑type common, Seaking helps establish the aquatic portion of the ME05 binder layout with crisp outlines, saturated blues and strong print clarity.
In tournament play, Seaking serves as a dependable early‑game attacker for Water decks. Its low‑cost attacks allow players to apply chip damage, pressure evolving Pokémon and maintain tempo while preparing mid‑range Water threats. Seaking’s retreat cost and attack sequencing make it a reliable opener for decks that transition into Goldeen‑line support or pair with heavier Water‑type finishers. While not a high‑damage sweeper, Seaking’s role is to stabilize the early board, create incremental pressure and support transitions into stronger Water‑type strategies.
The artwork for Seaking 014/084 was illustrated by ME05 staff artist H. Kurobane, who leaned into the corrupted‑energy theme by emphasizing neon water fractures and warped current lines. The swirling aquatic backdrop is tinted with blue‑violet distortion to reflect the spreading ME05 aura. Kurobane used glowing edge highlights, sharp fin accents and dynamic water motion to reinforce Seaking’s aggressive presence. This stylistic direction fits perfectly with Pitch Black’s narrative of environments and Pokémon being altered by corrupted energy.
