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.”
Sapphire

Shield
“As it drifts among the waves, Spheal probes the sea. As soon as it spots prey, it informs the Walrein in its herd.”
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.”
