'''Mantine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マンタイン''' ''Mantain'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Mantyke}} when [[level]]ed up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the [[party]].
==Biology==
===Physiology===Mantine is a large, manta ray-like Pokémon with wide fins and two ring-shaped marks on its back. Its back is a dark blue with a jagged outline on its wings. It has a streamer-like tail and long "antennae". Two pairs of gills are visible on its gray underside, as well as a pair of beady eyes and a small mouth. Generally, it is pictured with a {{p|Remoraid}} attached to the underside of one wing, much like a cleaner fish. Mantine can fly 300 feet into the air if it builds up enough speed, in a similar manner to how real-life manta rays breach the surface. Mantine is mostly docile. It thrives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|open seas}}.
Mantine's appearance changes from that of its pre-evolution in several ways. It is larger, has wider fins, and loses its original back markings, which are replaced by two ring-shaped marks. Its coloration is also greyer, and its back is a darker blue, along with gaining 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 Remoraid attached to its underside, much like a cleaner fish.
====GenderIn differences====[[Alola]], many surfers ride waves and travel between islands [[Mantine Surf|on the backs of Mantine]]. This has made it an icon in the region, being featured on souvenir postcards and posters.
None.

[[File:Mantine can fly in the air if they gain enough speed, in a similar manner to how real-life manta rays breach the surfaceEWAYG. They soar gracefully out of the water. Mantine are also able to naturally learn moves considered enigmatic for a Water-type Pokémon, such as {{mpng|Psybeam}}, {{m230px|Bullet Seed}}, {{mthumb|Signal Beam}} and {{mleft|Confuse Ray}}. However, several of these moves can be understood if one takes into consideration the {{p|Remoraid}} that is attached to Mantine'swing, as it learns all of these moves within the exception of {{mpkmn|Confuse Rayanime}}.]]

** They also have the exact same base stats, except that Mantine is oriented towards the [[Special move|special]] stats, while Skarmory is more based in the [[Physical move|physical]] stats.
* Mantine is tied with {{p|Kyogre}} for having the highest Special Defense base stat out of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Mantine also has the highest Special Defense base stat out of all non-legendary Flying types.
* Despite the fact that Mantine evolve in the presence of a {{p|Remoraid}}, Remoraid is not present on any of Mantine's sprites in the generation the evolution method was introduced nor in the newer generation. This may be due to fact that the Remoraid used for evolution doesn't disappear after Mantine evolves from Mantyke.
===Origin===
ItMantine is similar to a {{wp|manta ray}}, with some {{wp|kite}}-like aspects. Its flying type seems to be a reference to {{wp|Mobula|flying rays}}, known as such due to their propensity for breaching. Since {{p|Remoraid}}, a Pokémon based on a rifle, often attaches itself to the undersides of Mantine's wings, Mantine may also be based on a {{wp|fighter plane}}.
====Name origin====
Mantine may be a combination of ''manta'' and ''marine''.It may also be a combination of ''manta'' andor ''brine''.
Mantain may be a combination of ''manta'' and ''{{wp|River Tyne|Tyne}}'' (pronounced ''tain'').
