Mantyke (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

==Biology==  

Mantyke resembles a {{wp|manta ray}}. It has a round body with wide, flat fins. Its back is dark blue, while its underside is light blue. There are two red spots with white outlines and a light blue, curved line on its back. These markings give the overall impression of a smiling face and vary slightly in each region. It has two long, curving antennae on top of its head and black eyes with eyelash-like markings underneath. The antennae are used to sense ocean currents. Mantyke is a friendly Pokémon that can be found swimming near the ocean's surface with schools of Remoraid.

Mantyke made its next appearance in the anime in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]'', used by {{Ash}} in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

Another Mantyke appeared in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''.

* Mantyke is the only Pokémon so far that requires a specific Pokémon ({{p|Remoraid}}) to be in the [[party]] in order to evolve it.

**Until [[Gen VI]], with the introduction of  {{p|Pancham}} and its unique evolutionary method, it was the only Pokémon that evolved by needing another Pokémon in the party.

* Mantyke has the highest base Special Defense of all unevolved Pokémon.

**Mantyke also has the highest base Special Defense of all [[Baby Pokémon]].

* Despite what is said in the [[Pokédex]], Mantyke's face on its back did not differ in the back sprite of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

** However, in {{game|Black and White|s}}, where it is found, its "eyes" are slightly farther apart.

* At 3'03", Mantyke is the tallest [[baby Pokémon]].
