[SET COMMENTS]
Seadra is NFE's best check against Ground- and Fire-types like Piloswine and Pignite thanks to its physical bulk, typing, and Flip Turn. Grass-types like Servine and Thwackey looking to take back momentum will instead be put in the back foot with Flip Turn. Surf discourages physical walls like Koffing and Naclstack from making free progress against it. The combination of Rest and Sleep Talk make Seadra a good status absorber and continue its walling duties. Poison Point discourages physical attackers from freely spamming STAB moves, Knock Off, or U-turn, while 16 Speed EVs allow it to outrun Pignite and Jolly Piloswine.
Seadra fits on bulky and balanced teams well for teams looking for a physical wall that punishes other physical attackers. Seadra despises Grass-types like Thwackey, Servine, and Ivysaur; Steel- and Poison-types like Hisuian Sliggoo and Koffing make for excellent partners, with the latter providing utility with Toxic Spikes. Special attackers like Girafarig, Duosion, and Frogadier can blast through Seadra's meager special bulk, so special walls like Tinkatuff and utility Dunsparce remain good answers to them.
