With Thick Fat, fire-/ice-type moves against Spheal deal damage with a halved offensive stat.
◆ Surf is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Water-type move (hits adjacent pokemon. Double damage on dive). ◆ Brine is a special STAB-boosted 65-base power Water-type move (power doubles if the target's hp is 50% or less). ◆ Ice Beam is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target). ◆ Frost Breath is a special STAB-boosted 60-base power Ice-type move (always results in a critical hit). ◆ Round is a special 60-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if others used round this turn). ◆ Snore is a special 50-base power Normal-type move (Spheal must be asleep. 30% chance to flinch target). ◆ Mud-Slap is a special 20-base power Ground-type move (100% chance to lower the target's accuracy by 1 stage).
