Spheal, the Clap Pokemon

First, I'm sure "Clap" refers to the action, so get your mind out of the gutter. Now this guy is designed as a bulky powerhouse.

Hail
Aqua Ring
Blizzard
Earthquake

EV's: 252 HP, 128 Defense(or Attack), 128 Sp. Defense(or Sp. Attack)

To get the little sphere of never-ending destruction...

1) Breed a male Seel that knows Aqua Ring, Hail, and Blizzard with a female Spheal until you get a male.
2) Teach the hatchling Earthquake via TM.
3) Breed that male Spheal with the female Spheal(because incest is fun!). Aim for a Speed-reducing Nature and the Ice Body Ability.

Much like with the Snover I posted, this build performs best in Hail. Blizzard will never miss(and of course have that lovely STAB, pushing it to 180 power), and Ice Body will recover some of your HP each turn. Aqua Ring will also recover some of your HP each turn. Earthquake is another powerful attack that takes care of two of your weaknesses. Between Blizzard and Earthquake, you are super-effective against 9 types, not too shabby for just two attacks. Have it hold Leftovers to further increase it's healing ability, or perhaps a Life Orb if you go more for the powerhouse version, in which case the Aqua Ring and Ice Body would be compensating for the HP lost from Life Orb.

So that's the Clap Pokemon. On a side-note, I've now officially touched on at least 1 Pokemon of each of the 17 types. Woot. Any comments/suggestions?

Brock out.
