Stats & Training
Bulk defines Sealeo's stat line. HP and Sp. Atk anchor the defensive side, but Speed can't keep up offensively. Common in the wild and worth 2 HP EVs.
Its white whiskers are very sensitive. Sealeo will balance Spheal on the tip of its nose, checking its scent and its feel to be sure the Spheal is healthy.
Sealeo Weakness
Sealeo is weak to Electric, Grass, Fighting, and Rock. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread.

Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Evolution
Partway through Spheal's chain. Sealeo still has another evolution ahead before reaching Walrein. For breeding, average hatch time with a massive partner pool via two egg groups. HP has grown the most so far (+20), but there's still another 120 stats to gain in the final evolution. View every chain in the Evolution Chart.
How to Evolve
Breeding
Breed with Sealeo to get Spheal eggs easily using 218 partners from the Ground and Water1 egg groups. Notable egg moves include Aqua Ring, Belly Drum, Curse and 10 more.
Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Sealeo Best Moveset
Sealeo hasn't fully evolved, but Eviolite's 50% bulk boost makes it viable anyway. Modest nature with max HP and Sp. Atk EVs shapes the defensive spread, and Icebody adds utility.
Best Build
Sealeo best EVs are Sp. Atk and HP

Moves
Egg moves make a real difference. Sealeo gets Aqua Ring and Belly Drum exclusively through breeding, filling gaps that TMs and level-up can't touch. Rock and Normal coverage and more rounds out the picture alongside Blizzard and Ice Beam.

Sealeo Guide
Sealeo is meant to evolve into Walrein. At 410 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.
Thick Fat is what you want on Sealeo. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Ice Body, Oblivious) work on paper but Thick Fat is what makes Sealeo worth using.
Base 45 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Sealeo is a special attacker with base 75 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two.
Game Availability
Available in 15 titles since its debut in Ruby & Sapphire, Sealeo spans 8 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through catching or hatching as a base form in most mainline games.
