 ====Name origin====
-Phione's name may be a corruption of [[Fiore]], which is where Manaphy's egg can be 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 {{p|Manaphy|マナフィ}}. Additionally, its name may be a pun on the word "phony".
