Mantyke (Japanese: タマンタ Tamanta) is a dual-type Water/Flying baby Pokémon.

It evolves into Mantine when leveled up with a Remoraid in the party.

Biology

Mantyke resembles a manta ray. It has a round body with wide, flat fins. Its back is dark blue, while its underside is light blue. There are two red spots with white outlines and a light blue, curved line on its back. These markings give the overall impression of a smiling face and vary slightly in each region. It has two long, curving antennae on top of its head and black eyes with eyelash-like markings underneath. The antennae are used to sense ocean currents. Mantyke is a friendly Pokémon that can be found swimming near the ocean's surface with schools of Remoraid.

Major appearances

Mantyke made its debut appearance in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. Jack Walker uses the Capture Styler on Mantyke in order to use it to help him reach the temple. It is also shown swimming with a Mantine, presumably its parent. Multiple of them also appeared in the same movie.

Several Mantyke appeared in Cheers on Castaways Isle!.

Minor appearances

A Mantyke appeared in Following A Maiden's Voyage! during the beginning narration of the episode.

Mantyke made its next appearance in the anime in One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!, used by Ash in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

Another Mantyke appeared in Dawn of a Royal Day!.

Trivia

  • Mantyke is the only Pokémon so far that requires a specific Pokémon (Remoraid) to be in the party in order to evolve it.
    • Until Gen VI, with the introduction of Pancham needing to evolve with a Dark-type in the party, it was the only Pokémon period that evolved by needing another Pokémon in the party.
  • Mantyke has the highest base Special Defense of all unevolved Pokémon.
    • Mantyke also has the highest base Special Defense of all Baby Pokémon.
  • Despite what is said in the Pokédex, Mantyke's face on its back did not differ in the back sprite of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
  • At 3'03", Mantyke is the tallest baby Pokémon.
  • Mantyke is the only baby Pokémon with a double weakness.

Origin

Mantyke is based on a baby manta ray.

Name origin

Mantyke is a combination of manta and tyke (slang for child).
