'''Wailord''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホエルオー''' ''Whaloh'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Wailmer}} starting at [[level]] 40.
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Wailmer}} starting at [[level]] 40.


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wailord is a huge {{wp|cetacean}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling the {{wp|blue whale}}. It has small beady eyes, a huge mouth, and a tan throat and underbelly that are lined with grooves. Its back is blue with four white spots running down its spine, and two breathing nostrils on top of its head. It has two pairs of blue fins along its sides, a smaller third pair of tan fins on its rear, and a horizontal tail at the back.
Wailord are mammalian Pokémon that are well known as the [[List of Pokémon by height|largest Pokémon]] discovered so far. They have small beady eyes, a huge mouth, a throat that is lined with grooves and four white spots aligned on its back. It has two pairs of fins along its side and a horizontal tail at the back. It's vaguely shaped like a torpedo or a blimp.


Despite its enormous size, [[HSOWA|it is able to breed with many land-based Pokémon that are much smaller]]. This is due to it being in the {{egg3|Field}}, a reference to how whales are classified as mammals.
Wailord is [[List of Pokémon by height|one of the largest Pokémon]] to have been discovered. Due to its immense size, it can make giant splashes by jumping out of the water and then crashing back down. These shockwaves allow Wailord to knock out its opponents and herd its prey. Wailord is able to eat large quantities at one time, such as schools of {{p|Wishiwashi}}. However, it will flee from Wishiwashi when the latter is in its School Form.


====Gender differences====
Wailord has an easygoing temperament and loves to play. Its size causes it to have almost no natural enemies; its only known predator is {{p|Dhelmise}}. Wailord lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea}} in large groups called pods. These pods, which often include {{p|Wailmer}}, travel together in order to search for food. When a Wailmer is attacked by its predators {{p|Sharpedo}} or Dhelmise, its whole pod works to defend it. Wailord can dive deep at 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) in one breath.
None.


====Special abilities====
Wailord is popular due to its size. As a result, Wailord-watching is a favorite sightseeing activity in various parts of the world. However, Wailord are known to be driven away by fishermen when they become too numerous, so they don't eat too much fish Pokémon.
Wailord are able to take in large amounts of air and dive to incredible depths with just one massive breath. Since it is based on a whale and has a blowhole, it is one of the few Pokémon that are able to use {{m|Water Spout}}. With their large mouths, they are able to eat extreme quantities of food.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
Wailord are known to live in large packs, called pods, for traveling as well as finding prey. When chasing prey, Wailord herds them by leaping out of the water and making a humongous splash.
Wailord evolves from {{p|Wailmer}}.


===Habitat===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
The only habitat that's expansive enough for these gigantic Pokémon is the open ocean.

====Major appearances====

In [[PK19]], both {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{MTR}}'s groups landed on top of a Wailord. It was eventually disturbed by {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}'s {{m|Haze}} and was prompted to use {{m|Brine}}, which sent them all blasting off.

In ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'', [[Jessie]] pulled a {{DL|Rocket Prize Master|Wailord}} from the [[Rocket Prize Master]]. However, its {{m|splash}}ing caused them trouble aboard a raft.
 
In ''[[JN095|The Good, The Bad, and The Lucky!]]'', Team Rocket was briefly swallowed by a Wailord.
 
In ''[[JN143|Ride, Lapras, Ride!]]'', a Wailmer evolved into Wailord after being freed from being stuck in a hole, only to be trapped again as it evolved, until Ash and his friends freed it again. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[JN146|Ash and Latios]]''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Wailord is the tallest Pokémon in existence, but only the tenth heaviest.
<!--Do not add trivia about Wailord's density. It is pure speculation; even if it has a set height and mass, we do not know its VOLUME.-->[[File:Company Icon Wailord Aquaculture.png|thumb|150px|Icon for Wailord Aquaculture]]
** Wailord is the only Pokémon which was the tallest in the generation of its debut that was not outdone in the following generation (as happened to {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Steelix}}).
* Wailord has the highest base [[HP]] stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** Despite the fact that real-life fully grown blue whales weigh nearly 180 {{wp|tonne}}s, Wailord does not even weigh more than a half tonne, less than one sixth the weight of a real blue whale's tongue.
* Wailord is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] Water-type Pokémon.
* A Wailord, along with a {{p|Relicanth}}, is necessary in the party in order to unleash the three [[legendary golems]] from their sleeping places within the [[Sealed Chamber]] in the [[Generation III]] games.
** Wailord is also the tallest non-[[Legendary Pokémon]].
**This should mean that Wailord have existed for a long time, since the legendary golems have been sealed away a long time ago, and Relicanth lived a long time ago.
* In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Wailord was resized to fit in the battlefield. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], however, its size matches its Pokédex entry.
* Wailord is well-known for the [[HSOWA]] joke.
* Wailord is the only Pokémon in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} that doesn't need to be captured to be added to the Browser; its Browser entry explains that it is too big to capture.
* Wailord has the highest HP of all {{type2|water}} Pokémon. With that, Wailord has the second highest single base stat out of all the Water-type Pokémon, after {{p|Cloyster}}'s Defense.
* In {{B2W2}}, the {{player}} can get the Wailord Watcher {{OBP|Medal|Black 2 and White 2}} by spotting a Wailord in the [[Marine Tube]].
* In the games [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], Wailord was resized to fit in the battlefield. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] however, its size matches its Pokédex entry.
* The company [[Poké Job|Wailord Aquaculture]] is named after Wailord, and its logo depicts a superimposed Wailord head.
* Wailord is the only Pokémon in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}} that doesn't need to be captured to be added to the [[Browser]].
** Additionally, its Browser entry states that it is too big to capture.
* As of [[Generation V]], Wailord and {{p|Wailmer|its pre-evolution}}'s [[egg group]] ({{egg|Field}} and {{egg|Water 2}}) are unique.

Whaloh may be derived from ''whale''. It is also a combination of 吠える ''hoeru'' (to wail, to bellow) and 王 ''ō'' (king).<ref>'''{{DL|Television|PokéQuiz}}''': The correct answer is Whaloh! It’s pronounced: ho-e-ru-ro-o! “Hoeru” means “wail,” and the “oh” at the end means “king.” Maybe it’s sad and lonely at the top!</ref>

Wailord (Japanese: ホエルオー Whaloh) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves from Wailmer starting at level 40.

Biology

Wailord is a huge cetacean Pokémon resembling the blue whale. It has small beady eyes, a huge mouth, and a tan throat and underbelly that are lined with grooves. Its back is blue with four white spots running down its spine, and two breathing nostrils on top of its head. It has two pairs of blue fins along its sides, a smaller third pair of tan fins on its rear, and a horizontal tail at the back.

Wailord is one of the largest Pokémon to have been discovered. Due to its immense size, it can make giant splashes by jumping out of the water and then crashing back down. These shockwaves allow Wailord to knock out its opponents and herd its prey. Wailord is able to eat large quantities at one time, such as schools of Wishiwashi. However, it will flee from Wishiwashi when the latter is in its School Form.

Wailord has an easygoing temperament and loves to play. Its size causes it to have almost no natural enemies; its only known predator is Dhelmise. Wailord lives in the sea in large groups called pods. These pods, which often include Wailmer, travel together in order to search for food. When a Wailmer is attacked by its predators Sharpedo or Dhelmise, its whole pod works to defend it. Wailord can dive deep at 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) in one breath.

Wailord is popular due to its size. As a result, Wailord-watching is a favorite sightseeing activity in various parts of the world. However, Wailord are known to be driven away by fishermen when they become too numerous, so they don't eat too much fish Pokémon.

Evolution

Wailord evolves from Wailmer.

Trivia

Icon for Wailord Aquaculture

Origin

Wailord appears to be based on the blue whale, the largest known animal to ever exist. It also resembles a submarine, a blimp, and a torpedo.

Name origin

Wailord is a combination of whale, wail (a prolonged cry), and lord.[1]

Whaloh may be derived from whale. It is also a combination of 吠える hoeru (to wail, to bellow) and 王 ō (king).[2]

  2. PokéQuiz: The correct answer is Whaloh! It’s pronounced: ho-e-ru-ro-o! “Hoeru” means “wail,” and the “oh” at the end means “king.” Maybe it’s sad and lonely at the top!
