* Aside from {{g|Snap}}, Manaphy is currently the only legendary Pokémon that is clearly shown hatching from an egg, and the only one with a stylized egg rather than a normal Pokémon egg. However, the anime shows many different-colored eggs. | * Aside from {{g|Snap}}, Manaphy is currently the only legendary Pokémon that is clearly shown hatching from an egg, and the only one with a stylized egg rather than a normal Pokémon egg.

* Manaphy's title, "''The Prince of the Sea''," may be a reference to the {{wp|sea butterfly}}. Another name for the sea butterfly is Thecosomata, which means "''sluglike angel of the sea''." | * Manaphy's title, "''The Prince of the Sea''," may be a reference to the {{wp|sea butterfly}}.

*It is nearly impossible to get a [[Alternate_coloration|shiny]] Manaphy. Due to a coding, as well as a shiny check fucntion (which prevents Mystery Gift from being shiny by regenerating a new PID until the Pokémon isn't shiny), in the games, it is impossible to get a shiny [[Mystery_Gift|mystery gift ]] Pokémon. However, obtaining a shiny Manaphy is possible. This is possible by trading your Manaphy egg to a friend, and having them hatch the egg. The reason this works is also due to the coding, and the shiny check function, the egg hatching trainers' PID go isn't written onto the Pokémon until after the shiny check goes through. Basically, if you trade your Manaphy egg to be hatched, you may get a shiny (Note: it will still have the normal 1/8192 possibility). However, if you don't trade your egg, there is '''no''' chance of it being a shiny. | |||
