Stats & Training
Spheal's spread isn't flashy. HP leads, Speed trails, 0 stats clear the bar. Easy to catch and worth 1 HP EV, on a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
During the season when drift ice approaches the shore, Spheal prefers living on the ice—where fewer predators lurk—rather than the land. Its fur retains heat superbly and resists harsh cold.
Spheal Weakness
Spheal's Ice/Water typing leaves it vulnerable to Electric, Grass, Fighting, and Rock. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread.

Best Locations to Catch Spheal in Sun & Moon
Spheal Guide
Level 32 gets you Sealeo. Not the fastest evolution, so consider Exp. Share or route grinding to speed it up.
In Sun & Moon, Spheal does the job early-game if you need a Ice/Water type on your team. Evolve it into Sealeo before the later gyms and it holds up fine through the story.
