* 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 the game's coding, including the shiny check function, it is impossible to receive a shiny [[Mystery_Gift|mystery gift ]] Pokémon. However, obtaining a shiny Manaphy is possible by trading a Manaphy egg to another trainer, and having the other trainer hatch the egg (Note: it will still have the normal 1/8192 possibility). | |||

Manaphy may be based upon {{wp|sea angel}}s, tiny transparent ocean mollusks that look like ocean fairies and possess pairs of flexible tentacles they use to feed. | Manaphy may be based upon {{wp|sea angel}}s, tiny transparent ocean mollusks that look like ocean fairies and possess pairs of flexible tentacles they use to feed. | ||
