Physical Characteristics:

• It has a streamlined white body, ideal for swimming in icy waters.
• Its face features large, dark eyes and a pair of small tusks.
• Dewgong's tail is long and ends in a fluke that helps it navigate through water swiftly.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Dewgong is often found in frigid, arctic waters and icy caves.
• It has a playful nature, frequently spotted sliding on ice floes or playing in the snow.
• Dewgong is an adept swimmer, capable of diving for extended periods to hunt for prey such as fish and mollusks.
• It is known to bask on icebergs, where its white fur provides camouflage against predators.

In Battle:

• Dewgong is a versatile Pokémon with balanced stats, excelling in both Special Defense and HP.
• It can be used as a tank or support Pokémon in battles.
• Notable moves include Ice Beam, Aqua Tail, and Rest, which synergizes well with its Hydration ability in rainy conditions.

• Historically, Dewgong was often associated with the move "Ice Beam," a staple of its moveset that capitalizes on its Ice typing.
• Dewgong's name is a combination of "dew," relating to its icy environment, and "dugong," a marine mammal, though it more closely resembles a seal or sea lion.
