Today's Pokemon is Seel. Seel and her evolved form, Dewgong, were my favorite Water-types back in the days of RBY, and she always managed to find a place on my team, even though I was already using Blastoise. Ah, the days of naiviety... ...Right. Anyway, Seel obviously won't see as much use as Dewgong in competitive play. Come to think of it, Dewgong in general doesn't see much play outside of your generic CPU Battles. Ah well. Let's see what this little seal can do.  #086 - Seel Type - Water Sea Lion Pokemon Height - 3'07" Weight - 198.0 lbs Traits: Thick Fat: Damage from Fire and Ice attacks reduced by 50% Hydration: All status problems are healed in the rain Evolution Chain: Evolves to Dewgong at Level 34 Appearances: Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, FireRed, LeafGreen, XD, Diamond Seel is fairly common in the games. The RBY generation saw Seel appear in the Seafoam Islands. GSC made Seel migrate to the Dark Cave entrance outside Route 44. FR and LG add another location to the already known of Seafoam Islands: The Icefall Cave in Island 4. In XD, A Seel can be snagged from Cipher Peon Egrog in the Phenac Stadium. Finally, Seel appears by surfing on Routes 226 and 230 in Diamond; Us Pearl owners will instead find Spheal. Moveset: Trait: Hydration Item: Wet Rock Stats: HP: 334 Attack: 189 Defense: 209 Special Attack: 189 Special Defense: 239 Speed: 189 Surf Ice Shard Rain Dance Safeguard ----------------------------- Seel has a very uninspired name. Seriously. It's like the translators stopped getting paid or something for making these up. But anyway. Seel is obviously an unevolved Pokemon with that nasty unevolved taint on her stats. However, that doesn't mean she can't wreak havoc in unevolved Pokemon battles. Surf? SURF? THIS IS MADNESS! Madness? THIS! [size=7]IS![/size][size=14]POKEMON![/size] ...Anyway, Surf is quite obvious for a Water Pokemon, yes? Use Surf, hit enemy, repeat. Ice Shard is even crazier than Surf. However, Seel practically neecs Ice Shard. She's too slow to ever hit something on the first shot. Ice Shard lets your Pokemon always go first in battle. See what you have to do here? If you don't, go see a doctor or something. Rain Dance is here for the obvious reason of increasing the Power of Surf. However, it has other uses for Seel, which i'll get into later. Safeguard can be Dewgong's safety net should something go wrong. For example, if you know that your opponent likes to mess with status effects, Safeguard can keep you protected from that. It also stays in play even if Dewgong leaves, letting you give your allies protection, if only for a limited time. Hydration is like Safeguard in trait form with a twist. It only works in rain. This the the purpose of Rain Dance. In addition, the Wet Rock you'll have Seel hold increases the numbers of turns the rain stays on the field, giving you a longer Safeguard. Seel doesn't get much in the alternate moves department. Rest works, as does the Egg Move Signal Beam, but Dewgong can learn this through the Move Tutor, anyway, so we'll save that for her. That's Seel for you. Join me tomorrow for another Pokemon Of The Day! |
