Sealeo (#364) is a Ice/Water-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region (Generation 3) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,962 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Sealeo has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Sealeo in 2026.
Sealeo's Attack stat is 137 (Average). The lower Attack stat means Sealeo may compensate with bulk or utility.
With 132 Defense (Average) and 207 Stamina (Excellent), the total stat product is 476. This gives Sealeo reasonable durability in battle. Compared to other Ice-type Pokémon, Sealeo's stat distribution is balanced.
The best moveset for Sealeo depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Water Gun (Fast) with Aurora Beam (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Sealeo has 2 Fast Attacks and 4 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Sealeo can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Ice/Water typing provides useful matchups against Ice, Water-type threats while being weak to Fighting, Rock, Electric types.
In Master League, Sealeo faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Sealeo's effectiveness depends on its typing and 137 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Sealeo use Fighting, Rock-type moves.
Sealeo can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Snow weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Sealeo is part of a 3-stage evolution family:
Tip: For PvP, check IV spreads before evolving (low Attack, high Defense/Stamina). For raids, aim for 15/15/15 perfect IVs.
Shadow Sealeo is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Pokémon deal 20% more damage but take 20% more damage, making them excellent glass cannons. Shadow Sealeo's effective Attack becomes ~164. For raids, keeping it Shadow is usually better than purifying.
Shiny Sealeo is available! Use the Normal/Shiny toggle on this page to preview. The shiny rate is approximately 1 in 500. Shiny variants are cosmetic only — same stats and performance. Check our Shiny Checklist for all available shinies.
Sealeo gets a weather boost in Snow weather, increasing wild spawn CP (up to Level 35) and raid catch CP to Level 25 (1,151 - 1,225 CP). The buddy distance is 3km per candy. Use Poffins to halve the distance.
