You can catch the fairly uncommon Dewgong (and its awkward unevolved form, {{bp|Seel}}) in the Seafoam Islands, but it's unlikely that you'd find much use for one. They're not bad Pokémon, it's just that there are so many Water and Ice-types at this point, that you'd have to bump something really good, like a Cloyster or Articuno, to use this one.  Seel/Dewgong learns basic Ice attacks and the Psychic Rest skill.
You can catch the fairly uncommon Dewgong (and its awkward unevolved form, {{bp|Seel}}) in the Seafoam Islands, but you would be better off trading for one at Cinnabar. Being traded Pokemon, the Dewgong available at Cinnabar will gain experience 50% faster, making it a lot better at catching up to the rest of your team. While it has a lot of competition, its boosts to Water and Ice-type attacks give it an advantage over Blastoise and Articuno, and it hits significantly harder than Cloyster as well. Access to Horn Drill secures Dewgong's place as one of the best in-game Pokemon in Red, Blue and Yellow. As mentioned though, don't catch one; go trade for one.

If you use some Electric attacks to soften him up a bit, Articuno should give you much less trouble than Zapdos did.  Just beware you don't overdo it — Zapdos' Thunder attack can kill this legendary bird in one shot!  Once he's in the red zone, it could still take dozens of tries before Articuno goes quietly into a Poké Ball, so try to put him to Sleep or Paralyze him if possible.
