Manaphy (Japanese: マナフィ Manaphy) is a Water-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, but it has the unusual ability to breed, despite being a Mythical Pokémon. It is also unusual in that its offspring are Phione, which do not evolve into Manaphy, and that Manaphy Eggs have a different appearance from other Pokémon Eggs.

It is a member of the sea guardians with Phione.

Manaphy is the last Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex in Diamond and Pearl, before the Platinum expansion.

Biology

Manaphy is a small, blue, aquatic Pokémon with stubby feet and club-like arms that are longer than its body. It has a red gem on its chest and a yellow dot below the gem. Its onion-shaped head has a pair of long blue antennae, which have small spheres on the ends. Its irises are dark blue with yellow sclerae, and there are two yellow dots of "eyelash" markings extending from the eyes.

Eighty percent of Manaphy's body is made of water. It is highly susceptible to its environment and swims long distances to return to its birthplace. Manaphy is known to live the Sea, specially cold seafloor. It is born with a special power that allows it to bond with any Pokémon. Manaphy can switch the perspective of people, and Pokémon, with each other using its former signature move, Heart Swap. Manaphy has been reared to as Prince of the Sea. As seen in the anime, Manaphy is capable of learning and speaking the human language.

Trivia

• Manaphy's English name was uncovered, alongside the English name of Sinnoh, within the internal data of Pokémon Ranger on November 2, 2006.
• Manaphy and Ditto are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed and yet are unobtainable through breeding.
• Manaphy and Phione (if one counts Phione as Mythical) are the only Mythical Pokémon capable of producing Eggs in a Day Care or Nursery legitimately.
• Although normally genderless, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, Manaphy is constantly referred to as a male.
  • In Pokémon Ranger, it is also known as the "Prince of the Sea" in the British English versions of the game; however, it is referred to as the "Princess of the Sea" in American English versions.
• In the games, Manaphy is the only Pokémon whose Egg sprite is different than the standard sprite.
  • Despite the fact that Eggs cannot be transferred via Poké Transfer, Manaphy's Egg is found in the coding of the Generation V games. Location data for Pokémon Ranger also exists in those games.
• In Pokémon Platinum, the player can register Manaphy as seen in the Pokédex by inspecting a book in Mr. Backlot's room at the Pokémon Mansion.
• Like the majority of Event Pokémon obtained through Mystery Gift, it was intended to be impossible to obtain a Shiny Manaphy. However, an oversight allows a Manaphy Egg to have a chance to hatch Shiny, but only if it was traded before hatching. This is because Shininess is dependent on the Trainer ID number and Secret ID number, and the game mistakenly attempts to prevent Shininess using the original game's ID numbers instead of the ID numbers of the game that it was traded to. Furthermore, any Shiny Manaphy that was hatched from a traded egg can be able to pass Poké Transporter's legality check.

Origin

Manaphy may be based on sea angels, tiny transparent ocean mollusks. The Manaphy Egg's design is similar to Turritopsis dohrnii.

Manaphy's trait of only being able to produce Phione as offspring may be inspired by eusociality, a biological phenomenon which usually manifests in a colony of animals having a sole breeding female, or queen, tended to by her usually infertile offspring, or an example of a highly rare and unique mutations such albinism or polydactyly. With Manaphy's title as the "Prince[ss] of the Sea" and Phione's unclear status as Mythical, it may also take influence from the illegitimate children of royalty and nobility, whose worthiness to inherit their parents' status is often disputed.

Name origin

Manaphy may be a combination of mana and fae. It may also come from the manatee, or sea cow.
