Many battlers seem to be suspicious of dual Ice/Water Type Pokémon, and it's getting very rare to see any except Lapras these days. There's more to this combo than just the first generation fave, though, and Walrein is definitely suffering a lack of popularity.

For a start, its base stats are so well balanced that intelligent EV training could make your Walrein incredibly adaptable. Since its attacking and defensive stats are all at similar levels, it's easy to increase the ones that you want to focus on once you know where to turn for your training.

This adaptability is even more viable when you consider Walrein's potential movesets. You could train towards Special Attack to benefit from standard blast attacks like Brine and Blizzard, or opt for something much more physical and improve its Attack stat to launch staggered assaults with a move like Ice Ball. Walrein can be practically anything you want it to be with the right training, so if you're willing to put work in then this is definitely one to consider!
