===Physiology===
Mantine is a large, grey, manta ray-like Pokémon with wide fins and two ring-shaped marks. Its back is a dark blue with a wavy outline on its wings. It gains a streamer-like tail and longer "antennae". It also possesses two pairs of gill slits on its underside. Generally, it is pictured with a {{p|Remoraid}} attached to its underside, much like a cleaner fish. Mantine can fly in the air if they build up enough speed, in a similar manner to how real-life manta rays breach the surface, and can soar gracefully out of the water.

Mantine can fly in the air if they gain enough speed, in a similar manner to how real-life manta rays breach the surface. They soar gracefully out of the water. Mantine are also able to naturally learn moves considered enigmatic for a Water-type Pokémon, such as {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Signal Beam}} and {{m|Confuse Ray}}. However, several of these moves can be understood if one takes into consideration the {{p|Remoraid}} that is attached to Mantine's wing, as it learns all of these moves with the exception of {{m|Confuse Ray}}.
