Walrein (Japanese: トドゼルガ Todoseruga) is a dual-type Ice/Water Pokémon.
It evolves from Sealeo starting at level 44. It is the final form of Spheal.
Biology
Physiology
Walrein is a large, blubbery pinniped-like Pokémon, primarily blue in coloration with white accentuation. Walrein has two long, yellow walrus-like tusks, of which it uses extensively to fight and shatter ice. Walrein’s irises are also yellow, and it has large, white-colored features, somewhat resembling sea foam in shape, extending from the sides of its head like a mane. Its head is also white, with a round, somewhat pig-like blue nose. Walrein has white patterning around its neck in the form of two encircling stripes, and its short tail also has white creases.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Walrein, and its evolution family, Spheal and Sealeo, are the only known Pokémon that can learn Ice Ball.
Walrein are very strong and mighty; their thick blubber can hold off an enormous amount of attacks, and reduce damage dealt by Fire-type moves. Their tough tusks can break through the thickest and heaviest ice.
Behavior
Walrein live in large groups near the shore with their pre-evolved forms. These groups are always led by the largest male Walrein who acts as the beachmaster. Fighting for dominance among males can get pretty fierce, and many are the male Walrein who bear scars from challenging the beachmaster and losing.
Habitat
Walrein live in the arctic seas.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Throughout the anime, Walrein have been used as henchmen by Team Aqua.
A Walrein has also appeared in Training Wrecks, under the ownership of Rocky. Walrein battled Ash's Pikachu and Grovyle, alongside a Quagsire. Before Grovyle could nail Quagsire with its Leaf Blade Walrein would nail Grovyle with its Ice Ball, but Pikachu defeated Walrein in the end while Grovyle took care of Quagsire.
Walrein was Katie's final Pokémon while battling Ash in A Judgment Brawl. The Walrus Pokémon defeated Ash's Swellow, and Corphish (the latter was already tired out from battling Katie's Golduck), and was defeated by Ash's Grovyle.
A large group of Spheal, Sealeo and Walrein are seen at the beginning of Destiny Deoxys.
In the manga
Walrein first appears in VS. Walrein. It was used by Archie to battle against Maxie, and later when ironically fighting alongside the Magma Leader against Ruby and Sapphire, though they are able to exploit the two leader's weakness of taking little notice of each other's presence and easily win. A few more volumes later, in the climax of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, Archie sends out several more Walrein alongside Maxie's multiple Houndoom to buy time for the two to escape, but are thwarted.
Much later, under the guise of Guile Hideout, the same Team Aqua leader sends out a Walrein that is easily beaten by Poli alongside his Masquerain (beaten by Polibo).
