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

It evolves from Wailmer starting at level 40.

Biology

Physiology

Wailord are mammalian Pokémon that are well known as the largest Pokémon discovered so far. They are based on whales. 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, it is able to breed with many land-based Pokémon that are much smaller. This is due to it being in the Field Egg Group, a reference to how whales are classified as mammals.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

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 Water Spout. With their large mouths, they are able to eat extreme quantities of food.

Behavior

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.

Habitat

The only habitat that's expansive enough for these gigantic Pokémon is the open ocean.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Despite being so large, they probably feed on some of the smallest creatures in the ocean, swallowing entire schools in a single gulp.

Major appearances

Wailord first appeared in Having a Wailord of a Time. The Float Whale Pokémon was stuck on a beach near a Pokémon Center. Team Rocket tried to haul it away, but a Combusken foiled their plans.

A Wailmer that befriended a man named Robin evolved into a Wailord in Island Time. This Wailord transported Ash and his friends across the ocean until they came across a ship heading for Ever Grande City.

In Leading a Stray!, a family of Wailord appeared. One Wailmer was separated from its family, and Ash helped it get back. By the end of the episode, this Wailmer evolved into a Wailord.

A Wailord appeared in The Road to Humilau! under the ownership of Marlon.

Minor appearances

A Wailord appeared in the opening of Destiny Deoxys.

Along with their pre-evolved form, Wailord appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.

A Wailord made a cameo appearance in Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

A Wailord appeared at the beginning of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In Pokémon Adventures, Sapphire has a Wailord nicknamed Walo. He is kept at sea so that she and her father can use him for sea travel. However, later she returns him to his Poké Ball and carries him as part of her party. Walo was one of the keys to solving the mystery of the Sealed Chamber. While he still belongs to Sapphire, it was not seen in her party during the Emerald arc, and is assumed to be at sea with her Relicanth, Relo, as of her latest appearance.
