Trainer Tips

Sealeo is a Ice/Water-type Pokemon with a stat total of 476. With its bulk spread of 132 Defense and 207 Stamina, Sealeo has solid survivability in battles.

Watch out for Electric, Fighting, Grass, Rock-type moves when using Sealeo. These types deal super effective damage that can cut into Sealeo's performance.

Sealeo's moves get a damage boost in Rainy and Snow weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Unlocking a second charged move costs 50,000 Stardust and 50 Candy. With 4 charged moves available, a second move gives Sealeo much better coverage in PvP battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Sealeo is a Ice/Water-type Pokemon with base stats of 137/132/207 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 1,938. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Sealeo may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Sealeo deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
