Spheal is a round Ice and Water-type Pokemon introduced in Generation 3. It is known for rolling across icy terrain, its thick blubber, its playful design and its evolution into Sealeo and Walrein.
Competitive Overview
Spheal is usually seen as an early-stage Pokemon rather than a main competitive threat. Its typing gives it access to useful Ice and Water moves, but its low Speed and developing stats mean it is usually used in limited formats or as part of an evolution line.
