Dewgong's backstory reveals that it inhabits icebergs adrift in frigid ocean waters. This Pokémon thrives in lower temperatures, becoming more active as the weather gets colder. Dewgong has evolved to store thermal energy within its body, allowing it to withstand intense freezing weather. During the day, it often sleeps on ice or just below the surface of shallow waters, but it becomes an active hunter at night when temperatures drop. Dewgong's diet primarily consists of small aquatic Pokémon, such as Wishiwashi, which it hunts with agility and precision.
In the Pokémon world, Dewgong plays a significant role as both a companion and a competitor. Trainers often seek out Dewgong for its impressive Water and Ice-type abilities, making it a valuable asset in battles. Dewgong's ability to navigate icy waters and its resilience against cold make it a strategic choice for trainers participating in contests or exploring icy terrains. Its serene and gentle demeanor also makes it a popular choice for trainers looking for a reliable and friendly Pokémon partner.
Dewgong's physical characteristics and abilities are noteworthy. It has a snowy white, furry body that provides camouflage in snowy conditions. Dewgong's face features two black eyes, a black nose, and tusks extending from its upper jaw. It possesses a streamlined body with two front flippers and a long, flowing tail, enabling it to swim swiftly at speeds of up to 8 knots, even in ice-packed waters. Additionally, Dewgong's sharp horn on top of its head allows it to cut through thick ice floes. Its unique combination of Water and Ice-type moves makes it a formidable opponent in battles, capable of executing powerful attacks like Ice Beam and Aqua Jet.
