Spheal Pokédex entries

5 generations · newest first
Generation VIII3 entries
Sword

This Pokémon’s body is covered in blubber and impressively round. It’s faster for Spheal to roll around than walk.

Legends: Arceus

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.

Generation VI4 entries

Y

Its body is covered in fluffy fur. The fur keeps it from feeling cold while it is rolling on ice.

Omega Ruby

Spheal is much faster rolling than walking to get around. When groups of this Pokémon eat, they all clap at once to show their pleasure. Because of this, their mealtimes are noisy.

Alpha Sapphire

Spheal always travels by rolling around on its ball-like body. When the season for ice floes arrives, this Pokémon can be seen rolling about on ice and crossing the sea.
