Flavor Text

: It has always been supposed that Seel live only in cold seas. Their having shown up in Alola is a mystery.
: Thanks to its thick fat, cold seas don’t bother it at all, but it gets tired pretty easily in warm waters.
: Loves freezing-cold conditions. Relishes swimming in a frigid climate of around 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
