**Oddly, the aforementioned letter on Pokémon.com initially answered that Phione was not a legendary Pokémon, but it was soon changed. This may indicate, however, that Pokémon.com's staff is unsure about Phione's legendary status, and thus makes their answer negligible, and Phione's legendary status still unknown. | ** Oddly, the aforementioned letter on Pokémon.com initially answered that Phione was not a legendary Pokémon, but it was soon changed.

Phione's name may be a corruption of [[Fiore]], which is where Manaphy's egg is found, combined with "clione", the scientific name for sea angels, or "clone", because its sole purpose is to be a pseudo-Manaphy. It may be possible that ''Phione'' is a corruption of ''Pleione'', a water nymph in Greek mythology. It's also likely that フィ comes from {{p2|Manaphy|マナフィ}}. Additionally, its name may be a pun on the word "phony". | Phione's name may be a corruption of [[Fiore]], which is where Manaphy's egg is found, combined with "clione", the scientific name for sea angels, or "clone", because its sole purpose is to be a pseudo-Manaphy.
