Read more ↓Seel, the Sea Lion Pokémon, is a charming Ice-type creature first introduced in Generation I, alongside the original 150 Pokémon in the Kanto region. Its Pokédex entry consistently highlights its thick blubber, which allows it to thrive in frigid arctic waters, often found swimming gracefully or resting on ice floes. Seel primarily feeds on fish and other marine life, using its strong flippers to navigate underwater with surprising speed despite its somewhat clumsy appearance on land. It evolves into Dewgong, gaining the Water typing in addition to its Ice typing, and becoming even more adept at navigating icy seas. In the games, Seel is often encountered in areas like the Seafoam Islands, reinforcing its connection to cold environments. In the anime, Seel has made several appearances, notably as one of Ash’s Lapras’s friends and as a Pokémon owned by Lorelei of the Elite Four, showcasing its gentle yet resilient nature. Its simple, endearing design and association with the classic first generation have endeared it to many fans, making it a recognizable and beloved figure in the Pokémon franchise.
