Mantyke (Japanese: タマンタ Tamanta) is a dual-type Water/Flying baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Mantine when leveled up with a Remoraid in the party.

Biology

Mantyke is a Pokémon that resembles a manta ray. It has a round body with wide, flat fins. Its back is dark-blue, while its underside is light blue. There are two red spots with white outlines and a light-blue, curved line on its back. These markings give the overall impression of a smiling face and vary slightly in each region. It has two long, curving antennae on top of its head and black eyes with eyelash-like markings underneath.

Despite its appearance, Mantyke is an effective swimmer. Its antennae are used to sense ocean currents. Mantyke is a friendly Pokémon that can be found approaching boats and swimming near the ocean's surface with schools of Remoraid. It often works together with Remoraid to repel attackers. Spending time with the Remoraid schools will eventually cause Mantyke to evolve into Mantine. Due to its friendly nature, Mantyke are very easy to tame. Mantyke are also super-popular in beach activities involving swimming tours. The Mantyke that live in Galar appear to move slower due to the cold waters of the region.

Generation VIII Galar #354 Galar Isle of Armor #046 Sinnoh #140 Hisui #164 Sword Mantyke living in Galar seem to be somewhat sluggish. The colder waters of the seas in this region may be the cause. Shield It swims along with a school of Remoraid, and they'll all fight together to repel attackers. Brilliant Diamond A friendly Pokémon that senses the subtle flows of seawater using its two antennae. Shining Pearl Scientists discovered that the distinctive patterns on its back differ by region.

Trivia

• Mantyke is the only Pokémon that requires a specific Pokémon (Remoraid) to be in the party in order to evolve it. This is based on the aspect of mutualism, a form of symbiosis in which two organisms depend on each other for survival.
• Despite the Pokédex entries in Pokémon Pearl, Black 2, White 2, X, Omega Ruby, Ultra Moon, and Shining Pearl stating that Mantyke has patterns that vary by region, it has the same pattern in every game it has been in.
• Mantyke is tied with Ledyba for the lowest base Attack stat of all Flying-type Pokémon.

Origin

Mantyke is based on a baby manta ray. The pattern on its back looks like a smiley face.

Name origin

Mantyke may be a combination of manta and tyke (colloquial term for small child).

Tamanta may be a combination of 玉 tama (ball) and manta.
