Biology

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

In the anime

Wailord first appeared in AG034. 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 AG124. This Wailord transported Ash and co. across the ocean until they came across a ship heading for Ever Grande City.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Wailord is the largest of all identified Pokémon up to now. This giant Pokémon swims languorously in the vast open sea, eating massive amounts of food at once with its enormous mouth.

Pokémon Sapphire

When chasing prey, Wailord herds them by leaping out of the water and making a humongous splash. It is breathtaking to see this Pokémon leaping out of the sea with others in its pod.

Pokémon Emerald

It breathes through nostrils that it raises above the sea. By inhaling to its maximum capacity, a Wailord can dive close to 10,000 feet beneath the waves.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

It is among the largest of all Pokémon. It herds prey in a pack then swallows the massed prey in one gulp.

Wailord's name is a combination of whale and lord. The wail may also refer to the sound that whales and this Pokémon may make.

Its Japanese name is probably a combination of whale and 王 ō, king.
