* Walrein, along with {{p|Dewgong}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Arctovish}}, and its own {{p|Spheal|evolutionary}} {{p|Sealeo|relatives}}, are the only Pokémon with two types whose only resistances are their own types.
Walrein is a large, walrus-like Pokémon with a layer of blubber under its skin. It is primarily blue, with thin, white rings around its neck and lines on its fan-like tailfin. There are two long, ivory tusks in its upper jaw. It has a round snout and yellow eyes, and large tufts of white fur about its face and neck. Its four short legs have long flippers instead of feet.
Walrein lives in and around icy seas, where it is insulated against the cold by its thick layer of blubber. This layer of fat also protects it from enemy attacks by causing them to bounce off. It can coat its body in ice and charge opponents to use its former signature move, Ice Ball. While its long tusks are capable of crushing ice, they may break during battle. This Pokémon can be found in herds, which are fiercely protected by the leader.
A Walrein appeared inTraining Wrecks, under the ownership of Rocky, who had a battle with Ash. Walrein battled Pikachu and Grovyle, alongside a Quagsire. Before Grovyle could attack Quagsire with its Leaf Blade, Walrein attacked Grovyle with its Ice Ball. Pikachu defeated Walrein in the end, while Grovyle took care of Quagsire.
A Walrein appeared in A Judgment Brawl, under the ownership of Katie. It was her final Pokémon during her battle with Ash. The Ice Break Pokémon defeated Swellow and Corphish (the latter of whom was already tired out from battling Katie's Golduck) before being defeated itself by Ash's Grovyle.
Multiple Walrein appeared in Destiny Deoxys alongside Spheal and Sealeo. They were startled by the crash-landing of an asteroid containing two Deoxys and fled, traumatizing Tory Lund in the process.
Walrein first appears in Walrein and Camerupt. He was used by Archie to battle against Maxie, and later when ironically fighting alongside the Magma Leader against Ruby and Sapphire, though they are able to exploit the two leader's weakness of taking little notice of each other's presence and easily won. A few more volumes later, in the climax of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, Archie sends out several more Walrein alongside Maxie's multiple Houndoom to buy time for the two to escape, but are thwarted.
The two well-developed fangs can break a 10-ton iceberg with one hit. It can survive well in temperatures well below zero degrees with its thick layer of fat.
Walrein's two massively developed tusks can totally shatter blocks of ice weighing ten tons with one blow. This Pokémon's thick coat of blubber insulates it from subzero temperatures.
Walrein swims all over in frigid seawater while crushing icebergs with its grand, imposing tusks. Its thick layer of blubber makes enemy attacks bounce off harmlessly.
