** Its weight, even if is superheavy for the Pokémon average, is really too light for its size. Whales in nature have a weight which counts lot of tonnes, and Wailord is "only" 398 kilos. The reason of this is not specified, the Pokédex category "Float Whale" suggests that the body of Wailord is so big because is full of air but this is not confirmed by anything official. This weight may also have been chosen for game mechanics, because a number several tonnes would be difficult to calculate in moves which interest the weight.

Wailord is a huge Pokémon based on the blue whale. It has small beady eyes, a huge mouth, and a throat that is lined with grooves. It has a blue back with and four white spots, and a tan, grooved underbelly. It has two pairs of fins along its sides and a horizontal tail at the back. It is the tallest known Pokémon.
When it is jumping out of the water, it makes a giant splash due to its large size. It can dive deep at 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) in one breath. It lives in the sea in large groups called pods. A pod of Wailord travels together in order to search for food, and is able to eat large quantities at one time, such as schools of Wishiwashi. When a Wailmer is attacked by its predators Sharpedo or Dhelmise, its whole pod works to defend it.
A Wailord appeared in PK19, where both Pikachu and Meowth's groups landed on top of it. It was eventually disturbed by Seviper's Haze and was prompted to use Brine, which sent them all blasting off.
Multiple Wailord appeared in Leading a Stray!, alongside a Wailmer that was separated from its family. Ash spent much of the episode helping Wailmer get back to its pod. By the end of the episode, it evolved into a Wailord.
