Manaphy (Japanese: マナフィ Manaphy) is a Template:Type2 legendary Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. Manaphy has the unusual ability to breed, despite being a legendary Pokémon. It is also unusual in that its offspring are Phione, which do not evolve into Manaphy.
It is a member of the sea guardians with Phione.
Manaphy was the last Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex before the Platinum expansion.
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, and a yellow dot below the gem. Manaphy has an onion-shaped head with a pair of long blue antennae, which have small spheres on the end. Manaphy’s irises are dark blue, although the outermost portions of its eyes are yellow, with two yellow dots of “eyebrow” markings extending from the eyes. 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 a genderless species.
Special abilities
Due to Manaphy's high water content in its body, it can heal itself whenever it is raining. Manaphy can control water and focus it into attacks such as Water Pulse and BubbleBeam. Manaphy can also switch the perspective of people, and Pokémon, with each other, by using its signature move, Heart Swap. It can also melt into water, much like Phione and Vaporeon. Manaphy is able to recall its birthplace as well.
Behavior
Due to the presence of the special Egg, most portrayals of Manaphy are newborns with a childlike demeanor. Manaphy has been observed to be playful, similar to the behaviors of Mew, Celebi and Jirachi.
Habitat
Manaphy appears to be native to the cold oceans of the Fiore region, but cannot hatch there, instead usually only being able to be hatched in the Sinnoh region.

Trivia
A Manaphy Egg
- Manaphy's English name was uncovered, alongside the English name of Sinnoh, within the internal data of Pokémon Ranger on November 2, 2006.
- Jirachi and Manaphy are the only legendary Pokémon to have not been given an in-game location in the main series as of yet. Manaphy is also the only Pokémon that cannot be found in a main series game.
- Manaphy is also the only event Pokémon to date that debuted in a spin-off game rather than in the main series.
- Manaphy is actually lighter and shorter than Phione.
- Manaphy and Ditto are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed and unobtainable through breeding.
- Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon capable of producing Eggs in a Day Care legitimately.
- Manaphy and Heatran have the lowest egg cycles of all legendary Pokemon, with only 11 cycles.
- Although normally genderless, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, Manaphy is constantly referred to as a male.
- In Manaphy's Platinum Pokédex entry, it says that it can connect with the heart of any Pokémon using a special power it possesses from birth, which is a reference to Manaphy's signature move, Heart Swap. However, Manaphy actually can't learn this move until level 76.
- In the games, Manaphy is the only Pokémon whose Egg sprite is different than the standard sprite.
- Manaphy's title, "The Prince of the Sea", may be a reference to the sea butterfly. Another name for the sea butterfly is Thecosomata, which means "sluglike angel of the sea."
- It is nearly impossible to get a Shiny Manaphy. Most Mystery Gifted Pokémon are coded so that if the personality value generated for the Pokémon is one that would make it Shiny under the Trainer it is given to, the personality value is regenerated until it ends up not Shiny. However, transferring in a Manaphy Egg via Mystery Gift will only cause the Egg's generated value to be checked against the current Trainer ID number and Secret ID number. Thus, on trading to another game, with a different Trainer ID and Secret ID, the Manaphy has a chance at hatching Shiny.
- Manaphy is the lightest Water-type Pokémon.
