Seaking (7551)

File:7551 form.png

7551 (also referred to as "Legendary" or "Memeking") was originally caught on January 12th, 2019 by Jamiebearcub18. This seemingly ordinary Seaking began its rise to legendary status on January 31st, 2019, when Jamiebearcub18 initiated an undiscussed trade to Jagman53 for a Ditto. A few moments later, it was offered again for the Ditto, this time as "7551". Jagman53 took the bait and did an Info command. This went on for some time, with newer trainers Info-ing 7551 whenever it came up. This also began a long line of offering common Pokémon by number (instead of name) for Pokémon of a greater rarity.

Due to its rise in popularity, 7551 has since received its own emoji (and a special form!) on the Bulbagarden discord and is on a Tilia Trainer Tour to enjoy its new life of fortune and fame. If someone offers you 7551 for a common, accept the trade and enjoy being in the presence of a legend for a little bit. Then, pass it along to another trainer (in return for a common) for them to enjoy!

Trivia

Due to the tremendous popularity of the meme, Seaking are often used to troll for Pokémon of a higher rarity. This may lead to some hurt feelings among Seaking when they are rejected. As such, Jamiebearcub18 is heading a public works project to give unwanted Seaking a home.
