Mantine first appeared as a dreamed up Pokémon in Spell of the Unown. Molly Hale used it against Misty's Staryu.

Mantine was also used by a trainer that was searching for the Silver Feather in Mantine Overboard.

In Just Add Water, Mantine appeared under the ownership of Dorian, owner of the unofficial Coastline Gym.

Brock's mother, Lola, owns a Mantine which was used in her battle against Brock's Onix in A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together.

In Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Jack Walker uses his capture styler on one of these Kite Pokémon so it can help Jack get away from The Phantom during the begining of the movie.

In Steamboat Willies!, a Mantine which belongs to the owner of a ship helps Ash and Dawn save the ship from falling off a water fall.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Special manga

Gold encounters a Mantine as he floats in the sea in Template:PSV, which helps him in his attempt to defeat Lugia, powered by the Remoraid Gold received for flight transport.

Mantine is seen as one of the Pokémon swimming in the headquarters of Team Aqua.

Trivia

• Mantine's Generation IV sprite has no Remoraid attached to its wings, unlike past sprites. The ironic part about this is that it is required that a Remoraid be in the party with a Mantyke when it levels up so that it will evolve into Mantine.
• Many say that Mantine has less potential as a special wall, being 4x weak to Electric.

Origin

It is similar to a manta ray, with some kite-like aspects.

Name origin

Mantine's name, an anglicization of its Japanese name, may be a combination of manta and marine.

In other languages
