Flavor Text

: A Pokémon that lives on icebergs. It swims in the sea using the point on its head to break up ice.
: The colder it gets, the better it feels. It joyfully swims around oceans so cold that they are filled with floating ice.

: A Pokémon that lives on icebergs. It swims in the sea using the point on its head to break up ice.
: Covered with light blue fur, its hide is thick and tough. It is active in bitter cold of -40 degrees Fahrenheit.
: Seel hunts for prey in the frigid sea underneath sheets of ice. When it needs to breathe, it punches a hole through the ice with the sharply protruding section of its head.

: It has always been supposed that Seel live only in cold seas. Their having shown up in Alola is a mystery.
: Thanks to its thick fat, cold seas don’t bother it at all, but it gets tired pretty easily in warm waters.
