Seel (パウワウ Pawou in Japanese, Jurob in German and Otaria in French) is a fictional character from the popular Pokémon franchise.

Seel is probably a deliberate misspelling of the word, seal, reagrding it's seal-like form.

Biology

Seel is usually depicted as a large but rather stupid, white/light blue-all-over sea lion.

The horn on its head is used for bashing big blocks of ice. It prefers to live in cold conditions and swims in a climate of about 14 degrees Fahrenheit. It cannot walk on land but it's a graceful swimmer. In daytime it is often asleep on the seabed in shallow water. Its nostrils close when swimming but its light blue fur protects it from the cold. It loves iceberg filled oceans and hunts for prey in the sea underneath sheets of ice. When it needs to breathe, it breaks holes in that ice. Humans living in these areas have been known to have seel companions.

In the video games

Seel can be found at the following locations:

Blue/Red: Seafoam Island and Cinnabar Island
(in an in-game trade)
Yellow: Seafoam Island
Gold/Silver/Crystal: Whirl Islands
, in Lugia's
hideout.

In the anime

Seel is a Pokémon owned by Lily, Violet, and Daisy, the 'true' Gym Leaders of Cerulean City (Misty is usually off traveling with Ash Ketchum). When Team Rocket invades the gym, their machine sucks up Seel and Ash's Pikachu. Pikachu uses the water in the gym arena to short-circuit the machine and free all of Lily, Violet, and Daisy's Pokémon, including Seel. At a later date, in another battle with team Rocket, it evolved into Dewgong.

After that, another Seel is friends with a Slowking on Shamouti Island in the Orange Islands, and then it was seen in the Whirl Islands. It has appeared in lots more episodes than this but the rest were just cameo roles.
