In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Spheal evolves into Sealeo at level 32. Sealeo evolves into Walrein at level 44. Sealeo is a middle-stage evolution in the Spheal line.

What is the best ability for Sealeo?

Thick Fat is what you want on Sealeo. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Ice Body, Oblivious) work on paper but Thick Fat is what makes Sealeo worth using.
