Strategy Overview

Above-average defenses and access to some interesting support moves in Whirlpool and Perish Song allow Seel to carve out a niche role as the bulkiest Perish trapper, theoretically allowing it to take on a huge number of Pokemon in LC. The downsides are the strategy is one-dimensional and can be easy to play around once revealed, costing the user momentum. Other supporting Water-types such as Mareanie and Frillish are generally better choices, since they can compress multiple roles and fit better in the current metagame.
