Wailord (Japanese: ホエルオー Whaloh) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Wailmer starting at level 40.
Biology
Physiology
Wailord are cetacean Pokémon that are well known as the largest Pokémon discovered so far. They have small beady eyes, a huge mouth and a throat that is lined with grooves. 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 Ground Egg Group, a reference to how whales are classified as mammals.
At 47 feet, 7 inches (14.5 meters), Wailord is the largest Pokémon of all.
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 for traveling as well as finding prey.

In the anime
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 friends across the ocean until they came across a ship heading for Ever Grande City.
Along with their pre-evolved form, Wailord appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.
In the manga
In Pokémon Special, Sapphire has a Wailord named Walo, who is kept at sea for her and her father to use for sea travel. However, later she returns it to its Poké Ball and carries it on her.

Origin
This Pokémon is based on the blue whale, the largest known animal to exist.
