Manaphy is a Water-type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
Biology[]
Manaphy is a small, blue, aquatic Pokémon with stubby feet and club-like arms that are longer than its body. It has a red gem on its chest and a yellow dot below the gem. Its onion-shaped head has a pair of long blue antennae, which have small spheres on the ends. Its irises are dark blue with yellow sclerae, and there are two yellow dots of "eyelash" markings extending from the eyes.
Eighty percent of Manaphy's body is made of water. It is highly susceptible to its environment and swims long distances to return to its birthplace. Manaphy is known to live the Sea, specially cold seafloor. It has been known to rarely visit the costal waters of Hisui, occasionally with Phione following it. It is born with a special power that allows it to bond with any Pokémon. Manaphy can switch the perspective of people, and Pokémon, with each other using Heart Swap, one of its signature moves prior to Generation VII and in Generation VIII. Manaphy has been referred to as Prince of the Sea. As seen in the anime, Manaphy is capable of learning and speaking the human language. Manaphy is capable of creating Phione. Despite resembling Phione, the connection between the two is unknown at this point.
Manaphy and its counterpart Phione are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Take Heart.
