'''Seel''' is a seal-like Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation games. Its evolved form is [[Dewgong]].

=Information=

Seel is a Pokémon that loves freezing cold conditions, and they usually prefer to swim in an area of around 14F degrees. They cannot walk well on land, but they are graceful swimmers in exchange. It has light blue fur which protects it from the cold, and it loves iceberg-filled oceans. In the daytime, it usually falls asleep on the seabed in shallow waters. 

Its nostrils close when it is swimming. Seel usually hunt for prey in the cold sea under sheets of ice, and they can make holes in the ice for air by punching through the ice with the horn atop their heads. It evolves into Dewgong at Level 34.

==Video Games==

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a Seel float is one of the floats present in the Poké Floats stage.

==Other Media==

*Seel showed up every now and then in the Pokémon anime. Multiple Seel are owned by [[Misty]] and her sisters at the Cerulean City gym, including one that presents their badge and one which evolves into a Dewgong. There was also one episode in which Misty was hypnotized into acting like a Seel.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Seel is shown in a flashback during the ''Yellow'' arc as one of [[Lorelei]]'s early Pokémon, and its poisoning by mankind's pollution is what drives her to join the Elite Four's cause after [[Agatha]] used her [[Gastly]] to cure the Seel. It later became the Dewgong that served as one of her main Pokémon.

=Trivia=

*Its name is a simple play on "seal".
