Phione (Japanese: フィオネ Phione) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. It can only be obtained by breeding Manaphy or another Phione with Ditto.

Phione's status as a legendary Pokémon is often disputed, with contradiction occuring even between official sources.

Biology

Physiology

Phione is the result of breeding Manaphy in the Generation IV games. As a result, it is very similar to Manaphy in body structure. It has a tiny body with a red gem on it. Phione has a single rudimentary foot spike and club-like arms. Phione's head is larger than the rest of its body, and extending from its eyes are two small purple circles. It has a flotation sac on its head with a single, ribbon-like antenna on it.

Gender differences

Phione is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Phione going in the drain

Phione's abilities are similar to Manaphy's, but weaker. Phione is unable to use a number of attacks that Manaphy is able to learn, most notably: Tail Glow, Heart Swap, Hyper Beam, or Giga Impact. Phione are supposedly able to create a dew that cures all ailments. Phione also has the ability to melt its body into water and change its body into a more liquid state similar to Vaporeon.

Behavior

Like Manaphy, Phione always return to the place where they were born. This Pokémon is very energetic and playful with its fatherly figure Manaphy.

Habitat

Phione live in warm seas, especially around the Sinnoh region.

Trivia

  • Phione is the only Pokémon that is obtainable by breeding a legendary Pokémon.
  • Phione is taller and weighs more than its parent, Manaphy.
  • Phione can be bred not only from Manaphy, but also from a Phione. However, Phione are unable to produce eggs that will hatch into Manaphy.
  • Phione, Nidoran♂, Nincada, and Volbeat are the only Pokémon that can be obtained by breeding a Pokémon they cannot evolve into (as Shedinja is technically a shed shell).
  • Phione is not found in any regional Pokédex.

Legendary status

Phione's status as a legendary Pokémon is often disputed, due to the fact that it can breed and multiple individuals can be obtained. Pokémon.com's mailbag was once asked if Phione was legendary, to which the answer was initially no, but was quickly changed to yes; the whole mailbag section has since been taken down. In the official game guide to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, which is made by The Pokémon Company International, it is stated that Phione is not legendary. In Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, it is not referred to by the game as "rare" or "legendary", which is the case for all other legendary Pokémon in the game.

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

Phione is probably based on sea angels.

Name origin

Phione's name is likely a combination of the final syllable of Manaphy's name with clione, sea angels. Clione are remarkably popular in Japanese documentaries, especially in Hokkaido, on which Sinnoh is based (this may also explain their appearance in Chocovine Town). Also, like clione, Phione's name is pronounced in three syllables.Phione may also be based on Pleoine, A goddess of the water in greek mythology
