Manaphy (Japanese: マナフィManaphy) is a Template:Type2Legendary Pokémon. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. However, it has the unprecedented ability to breed, though the offspring is a Phione. Manaphy was the last Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex before Platinum came, also it is not the last in the Generation IV National Dex.
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 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.
Behavior
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.
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.
