I've NEVER EVER seen ANYONE use this mon, not even an npc. It doesn't even look bad, design wise. Why is it so overlooked? Is it a shitmon?

looks too much like a real animal, and it's a fairly boring real animal
it's also an ice type, which means it's both a pain in the ass to get and not particularly good

The only game I remember it being available was right before the 7th gym, in a region where you probably already have a dedicated Water type. It's a 3 stage Pokemon that takes a lot of time to get the final form.

This is the kind of Pokemon who should have been early game but GF hates Ice types so no one got a chance to use it.

It's got pretty much the same stats as lapras, and as much as I like walrein I prefer lapras, so if I ever need a shitty water/ice type. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way.

The answer is basically that it's only really available in Hoenn, and quite late in the game in an entirely optional area that the average player might not even investigate. On top of that it takes a fair bit of time to evolve.

I think aside from that the only other time it's been available pre-Elite 4 is in BW2 on another very late area. Really, it's an issue most Ice types share, but the water ones struggle since they're also having to compete with the boatload of solid water types available much earlier.

it is the prominent ice pokemon in the hoenn region (glalie is worse), there was also a time when stallrein was a thing with massive regeneration from permanent hail + leftovers, finally glacia used it like many people already said.

its one of my favorite water mons, definitelly better than lapras or dewgong.

I think the most they really could have done to improve it without awkwardly shoving an Ice area somewhere even further south would have been to put an In-game trade for it in exchange for something that requires a Good Rod or Surf to access. That way it'd become accessible at the same time as a lot of other water types

In-game trades sound like a great answer to this problem in general. Walrein legitimately never occurs to me when considering the Hoenn games for coming so late. Hmm, wonder if I should hold out when I play one of the ORAS superhacks since Delta and Elite Four rematches gives an Ice type more to do...

It's funny because I finished ORAS recently and I don't remember fighting Walrein at all. I'm not sayin he wasn't there, of course it was, I just had a mental fart. Anyways, ONE npc in the whole series and some random fucker in the battle tower still counts as just a few, stop being so dense

Yeah. In-game trades always feel so strange with how they're implemented. It always seems like either a way for Gamefreak to give out a pokemon with an advantage against the next gym leader, or otherwise give them player something rare, but not particularly more useful than what they traded.

I'd love to see it used more for simply offering earlier access to pokemon that might be more common later but wouldn't fit early environments.

Come on now...this shit happens all the time, tons of pokemon don't get used by NPCs until late game every game.

Dragonite, Gengar, Gyarados, Metagross, Kingdra....and so on and so forth. I know Walrein isn't exactly a star but being used by a powerful NPC you're likely to fight several times should be enough.

I would have loved it if the older games had more in game trades. My wi-fi conection was WPA so my DSi couldn't handle it (except for the browser, the fuck is up with that). I was forced to trade only with npcs, since none of my friends had DSs at the time.

It rarely appears in a regional dex, and is a late-game nuisance to obtain in its debut generation. It got powercreeped out of the metagame in gen 5 or 6 I believe, and has little to no relevance in ZU. The only game where you can use Spheal reasonably early is Gale of Darkness, where it's actually a pretty great Pokemon to use.
