Seel

Seel's unusual Ability

Seel is the only non-Ice-type Pokémon that can have the Ability Ice Body, making it the only such Pokémon that actually benefits from Ice Body's hail immunity, since every other Pokémon with the Ability is already naturally immune to hail damage due to its typing.

Seel on cards

Seel's first card appeared in the 1999 Base Set as an Uncommon illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Gym Heroes and Gym Challenge each added a Misty's Seel card the following year. Dragon Frontiers printed a δ Seel illustrated by Hajime Kusajima, and the Mega Evolution era's Phantasmal Flames and Perfect Order each added a Seel Common.
