Dewgong is forgotten, rather elegant minus the derp face, and it should get an evolution. I'd be perfectly happy if it became the franchise's narwhal.
There was no reason to use Dewgong in generation I and there never has been ever since.

first post best post
There's more art of it than you would think. Is it actually fairly popular but no one realizes?
I don't see how. Isn't it the first dolphin in Pokemon?
Popplio stole its limelight.
It's a shame Dewgong isnt more loved
Seel is the Pokemon that got me into Pokemon

1. use it cause you like it
2. ice/water
3. MUCH prettier than walrein
i know that 1 is enough, but i gave you two more on the house.
Walrein and Dewgong forever

Can't Lapras do those but better?

I remember when I was a kid Seel and Dewgong were pretty popular. But they've definitely gotten kind of lost in the generations since. I think they have decent designs. Always found Seel adorable.
One of my Kanto Dream Team
An evo would change it too much when it's already visually great, just give it a Mega

>A dolphin
Are you literally retarded?
>>28739572
It's a dugong, you dugong.
I really really like him, despite its simple design.
Sure, he's got a goofy looking face, but the rest of his design easily makes you look past that with its elegant, graceful look to it.

The only thing Lapras doesn't top Dewgong is Speed.

it was a very niche support pick for 2014-15 vgc. Still not common at all but I loved using it. Fake out, encore, icy wind + thick fat and sitrus berry.
Dewgong will always be a bro and one of my favorite mons.
Dewgong has a good design. Needs more love.
What type would an Alolan Dewgong be? Pure Water?
It's because of the lines retarded names.
They literally tried to replace the Seel line with the Spheal line back in Gen III.
>>28738760
I'm using it in LeafGreen, it's pretty good.
Yeah I like Dewgong but he's really overshadowed
>2 of his abilities are useless. Ice Body is crap on anything, and Thick Fat on a Water/Ice type is pointless.
>Basically Walrein but with shittier stats, has 60 less BST as well
>move pool is basically the same as Walrein but worse
Its kinda annoying, especially as Popplio is going to shit on both of them with its Water/Fairy typing (and you know its going to get Scald/Ice Beam/Blizzard)
>those stats
Yikes. They're so mediocre and evenly spreadout that the only way you could make it good is if you completely overhauled them, taking stat points away from some places.
Its BST is pretty high, you could only add +60 at most if it evolved.

Attack - 5
Defense - 10
Sp. Defense + 15

leopard seals are the best apex predators
let dewgong just evolve, get bigger and get a bigger snout, instant classic
dewgong is gay and so are you
?
This is assuming it turns into a narwhal, where high attack makes sense. (Evolves on level up knowing Megahorn, or something.)
Why does evolving into a narwhal lessen Dewgong's defense? Fuck you, that's why.
Maybe it could get a fluffy winter coat so it could get fluffy, idk. Hydration and Ice Body sucks.
I feel like it could be pure Ice or Something/Ice as well.
>>28745550
stuff like Magmar don't get much when they evolve
>>28740098
By the time you have access to Seel you already have a Water type on your team

Nobody implied Walrein was Gen 1, learn to read
