Manaphy (Japanese: マナフィ Manaphy) is a legendary Water-type Pokémon, first appearing in Generation IV. Manaphy is not directly obtainable in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Manaphy's ability is Moist Body, which heals a status effect (Burn, Paralyze, Sleep, Poison, Freeze) when Manaphy is in play during rain.

It is comparable to Celebi and Jirachi, but more so to Mew, both for its place in the regional Pokédex list, identical base stats and its inability to be caught during normal gameplay. Unlike them, however, Manaphy does not fall under the Psychic-type group; it also has the unprecedented ability to breed, though the offspring is a Phione. Interestingly, Manaphy is joined by Sheimi this generation, which is not a Psychic-type Pokémon, either. Manaphy is the last Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex, yet in the National Pokédex in Generation IV, it appears before Sheimi which is not even the very last.

Biology

Physiology

Manaphy is a small, blue aquatic Pokémon. It has stubby feet and club-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 it's 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 heal itself whenever its raining. Manaphy can control water and focus them into attacks such as Water Pulse and Ice Beam. Manaphy's signature attack is Heart Swap.

Habitat

Manaphy appears to be native to the cold oceans of the Fiore region, but cannot hatch there, and can in the Sinnoh region, leading us to believe that the Manaphy egg was conceived somewhere completelly differant, as all eggs Manaphy produces in Fiore hatch into another Pokémon entirely, Fione
