From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Walrein (Japanese: トドゼルガ Todoseruga) is a dual-type Ice/Water Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Sealeo starting at level 44. It is the final form of Spheal.
Biology
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 tail-fin. 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 up to 10 tons in one blow, they may break during battle. This Pokémon can be found in herds, which are fiercely protected by the leader.

In the main series
Major appearances
Multiple Walrein debuted in Fight for the Meteorite!, under the ownership of Team Aqua Grunts. They reappeared in The Scuffle of Legends.
In Training Wrecks, Rocky used a Walrein and Quagsire in his battle against Ash, and the two faced off against his Pikachu and Grovyle. 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.
In A Judgment Brawl, a Walrein was Katie's final Pokémon during her battle with Ash. It defeated Swellow and an already-worn out Corphish before being defeated itself by Ash's Grovyle.
Minor appearances
In A Hurdle for Squirtle, a Coordinator's Walrein competed in the Saffron Contest.
In Destiny Deoxys, multiple Walrein were startled by the crash-landing of the asteroid that contained two Deoxys. This caused them to flee, traumatizing Tory Lund in the process.
Multiple Walrein appeared in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.
In PK19, a Walrein was living on the icy island.
In the GOTCHA! music video
A Walrein briefly appeared in GOTCHA!, under the ownership of Glacia.
In the manga
In the Ash & Pikachu manga
A Walrein appeared in Two Groups Attacking! Magma VS. Aqua, under the ownership of a Team Aqua Grunt.
A Trainer's Walrein appeared in A Clash Of Wills!! Eternal Rivals?!.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In Walrein and Camerupt, Archie used a Walrein 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.
In The Final Battle VII, under the guise of Guile Hideout, Archie sends out another Walrein that is easily beaten by Poli alongside his Masquerain (beaten by Polibo).
