Wailord makes a cameo appearance in the Kalos Pokémon League. When the stage transitions to the Flood Chamber, it can be seen in the background along with Blastoise, Piplup, and Clawitzer.

Trophy information

NA: At a massive 47 feet 7 inches long, Wailord is the largest Pokémon found so far. It's as big as a five-story building! Also, Wailords can dive to almost 10,000 feet with only one breath of air. That's nearly two miles down and almost four times the height of the tallest modern buildings!

PAL: With a height of 14.5 metres, Wailord is the largest Pokémon discovered thus far. 14.5 metres - that's roughly the size of a five-storey building! Also, Wailord can dive to a depth of 3,000 metres on only one breath. That's more than twice the height of Ben Nevis! Some remarkable stats for a remarkable Pokémon.

Game data

NPC appearances

Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia: A Wailord is seen in the Sea of Wailord that was trapped by Team Dim Sun. The player must free it by deactivating the traps. Later on in the game, it is seen attacking Kincaid's submarine. After the player captures Darkrai for the first time, and then goes to Haruba Desert's dock, Wailord will ferry the player to the Capture Arena.
