'''Seel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パウワウ''' ''Pawou'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dewgong}} starting at [[level]] 34.
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dewgong}} starting at [[level]] 34.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Seel is a {{wp|pinniped}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a thick hide covered in bluish-white fur. It has a pale tan maw with a large red tongue and a pair of tusks on its lower jaw. It has circular eyes and a black nose that is capable of closing when it swims. There is a small horn on its forehead, which it uses in combination with its tusks to bore through ice floes. It has two flippers on its chest, and two more on the end of its tail. When the tail is raised, it resembles a waterspout.
The horn on Seel's head is exceptionally hard, due to it being made of toughened bone. Seel has a furry body that appears white, two {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style| Pokémon with fins|flippers instead of feet}}, a tan-colored muzzle with a small black nose, small tusks, round eyes, and a tongue that is often seen outside of Seel's mouth. It lives in the frigid waters of the arctic, surviving because of its {{a|Thick Fat|thick blubber}}. Its tail resembles a spout of water.


====Gender differences====
Seel lives on icebergs in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|frigid ocean waters.}} Its warm fur and thick hide allow it to swim in waters as cold as -40° Fahrenheit (-40° Celsius). It thrives in these cold environments, becoming more active as the temperature drops and tires easily in warm waters. Preferring to sleep during the day, it hunts for prey under sheets of ice in the late day and evening hours. While it is a graceful swimmer, it is awkward and struggles to move on dry land.
None.


===Special abilities===
===Evolution===
This hide of fat looks like it is covered with snow-white fur from a distance, but, when magnified, the fur is actually a very light blue that gives it a seawater tinge whilst swimming. Seel's streamlined, curving body helps it to effortlessly swim through the cold seas, and its flippers propel it with ease. The flippers can also pull its body onto shore, but can only support its weight for a short time. Seel uses its horn to puncture ice so it can breathe. Its coarse hair can trap water and air to conserve body heat.
Seel evolves into {{p|Dewgong}}.


===Behavior===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
The horn on the tip of Seel's head is used to chip away ice at the surface of the sea to create breathing holes. The small tusks can chip away at the ice too, and sometimes they engage in territorial fights where these tusks can be applied as weapons.

{{Evobox-2
During the day, Seel can usually be spotted in shallow seas asleep on the seabed; however, it is additionally active during the evening hours, when it hunts and pursues prey effortlessly through the water. The colder the sea, the more active it is. When swimming, its nostrils close tightly when it swims. Seel only comes on land to give birth or socialize with others of its kind - it is exceptionally clumsy on land.

===Habitat===

|name1=Seel
Seel loves to live in extremely cold polar seas, which are often 40 degrees below 0. The frigid climate it lives in are full of ice floes. It exceptionally loves iceberg-filled oceans, where herds of Seel converge to play and socialize. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Seel is one of three non-{{type|Ice}}s which evolve into an Ice-type, together with {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Eevee}}.
* Seel shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Dewgong}} and {{p|Popplio}}. They are all known as the Sea Lion Pokémon.
* Although Seel was introduced in [[Generation I]] as a pure {{type|Water}}, it could not learn any Water-type attacks by level-up until [[Generation IV]].
* Seel is the only non-{{type|Ice}} Pokémon that can have {{a|Ice Body}} as its [[Ability]]. Consequently, Seel is the only Pokémon with Ice Body to benefit from its {{weather|hail}} immunity, since all other Pokémon with the Ability are naturally immune to hail damage due to their typing.
* Seel is the only non-Ice-type Pokémon to have the {{a|Ice Body}} Ability. However, it evolves into an Ice-type Pokémon.
* Seel can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Spheal}}. Both of them are {{t|Water}}/{{type|Ice}} Pokémon. Seel is exclusive to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], while Spheal is exclusive to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], with both found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can only be obtained by breeding their evolved forms in {{game|Platinum}}. Both Pokémon also appear to be based on {{wp|Pinniped}}s.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Seel is based on seal pups, bearing resemblance to a newborn {{wp|harp seal}}. The horn on the top of Seel's head may also be loosely based on the {{wp|narwhal}}.
Seel may be based on an {{wp|earless seal}}, particularly a {{wp|harp seal}} pup due to its white fur and icy habitat. It also shares characteristics with other aquatic mammals that live in the {{wp|Arctic Ocean}}. Its long, white body is similar to a {{wp|beluga whale}}, its horn may be inspired by a {{wp|narwhal}}, and its tusks may be inspired by a {{wp|walrus}}. The shape of its tail resembles a stylized {{wp|waterspout}} or {{wp|geyser}}.


====Name origin====

Seel (Japanese: パウワウ Pawou) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Dewgong starting at level 34.

Biology

Seel is a pinniped Pokémon with a thick hide covered in bluish-white fur. It has a pale tan maw with a large red tongue and a pair of tusks on its lower jaw. It has circular eyes and a black nose that is capable of closing when it swims. There is a small horn on its forehead, which it uses in combination with its tusks to bore through ice floes. It has two flippers on its chest, and two more on the end of its tail. When the tail is raised, it resembles a waterspout.

Seel lives on icebergs in frigid ocean waters. Its warm fur and thick hide allow it to swim in waters as cold as -40° Fahrenheit (-40° Celsius). It thrives in these cold environments, becoming more active as the temperature drops and tires easily in warm waters. Preferring to sleep during the day, it hunts for prey under sheets of ice in the late day and evening hours. While it is a graceful swimmer, it is awkward and struggles to move on dry land.

Evolution

Seel evolves into Dewgong.

In the TCG

Main article: Seel (TCG)

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Seel is a Pokéfloat. After the second half of Venusaur is revealed, the screen moves continually to the right without stopping and so fighting does not stay on Seel for very long.

Trivia

  • Seel shares its category with Dewgong and Popplio. They are all known as the Sea Lion Pokémon.
  • Seel is the only non-Ice-type Pokémon that can have Ice Body as its Ability. Consequently, Seel is the only Pokémon with Ice Body to benefit from its hail immunity, since all other Pokémon with the Ability are naturally immune to hail damage due to their typing.

Origin

Seel may be based on an earless seal, particularly a harp seal pup due to its white fur and icy habitat. It also shares characteristics with other aquatic mammals that live in the Arctic Ocean. Its long, white body is similar to a beluga whale, its horn may be inspired by a narwhal, and its tusks may be inspired by a walrus. The shape of its tail resembles a stylized waterspout or geyser.

Name origin

Seel may be derived from seal.

Pawou may be derived from an onomatopoeia of a seal's bark.
