Manaphy (Japanese: マナフィ Manaphy) is a legendary Water-type Pokémon, first appearing in Generation IV. Manaphy is not directly obtainable in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Manaphy's ability is Hydration, which heals a status effect when Manaphy is in play during rain.

It is comparable to Celebi and Jirachi, but more so to Mew, both for its place in the regional Pokédex list, identical base stats and its inability to be caught during normal gameplay. Unlike them, however, Manaphy does not fall under the Psychic-type group; it also has the unprecedented ability to breed, though the offspring is a Phione. Interestingly, Manaphy is joined by Shaymin this generation, which is not a Psychic-type Pokémon, either. Manaphy is the last Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex, but not the Generation IV National Dex.

Biology

Physiology

Manaphy is a small, blue, aquatic Pokémon. It has stubby feet and club-like arms that are longer than its body. Manaphy has a red gem on its chest. Manaphy has a round head with a pair of long blue antennae. Eighty percent of Manaphy's body is made of water and is highly susceptible to its environment. One of these reactions is that when Manaphy reproduces in an ocean that's warmer than those that they are native to, the child will be a Phione as opposed to another Manaphy.

Gender differences

Manaphy is genderless.

Special abilities

Due to Manaphy's high water content in its body, it can heal itself whenever its raining. Manaphy can control water and focus them into attacks such as Water Pulse and BubbleBeam. Manaphy's signature attack is Heart Swap.

Habitat

Manaphy appears to be native to the cold oceans of the Fiore region, but cannot hatch there, instead only being able to be hatched in the Sinnoh region. Strangely, all eggs Manaphy produces in Sinnoh hatch into Phione.

Manaphy riding on a Lapras

Manaphy is the star of the ninth Movie, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. It is initially an egg that an evil gang wants to steal. Manaphy hatches in May's hands and helps the People of the Water to find the Sea Temple. It is known as the Prince of the Sea.

Manaphy also makes a cameo in the Japanese version of the Diamond and Pearl theme song.

In the manga

In the manga "Pokémon Ranger, the Comic" (from the creators of Pokémon Adventures), Cameron from Summerland found Manaphy's Egg on Fiore's Sea, then it was stolen by the Go-Rock Squad who wanted to use its enormous powers for bad purposes when it hatched. This plan failed when Solana and Lunick saved the egg and it was given to Prof. Hastings' granddaughter who lives in Sinnoh.

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

When released from a Poké Ball, Manaphy uses a Heart Swap which switches the body of the user with another player. KO's still count for the original player.
