« This calm and gentle Pokémon swims gracefully through the sea. After building speed, it can leap out of the water. It is often misidentified as a bird Pokémon due to this behavior. »

Its story
Lifestyle
It lives in the open sea, where schools race, and leaps 300 feet high. It evolves from Mantyke and, being docile, lets a Remoraid cling under a fin.
In the anime
In the Eevee shorts, a Mantine rescues Sandy after a fall from a boat and helps it learn Mantine Surfing. Ash and his classmates later free several Mantine captured by Team Rocket.
Name origin
Its leaps recall the manta ray, called a flying ray, with a bit of a kite. Mantine may combine manta with marine, brine, or tine.
