In Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Jack Walker uses his capture styler on one of these Kite Pokémon so it can help Jack get away from The Phantom during the begining of the movie.

Trivia

• Mantine's Generation IV sprite has no Remoraid attached to its wings, unlike past sprites. The ironic part about this is that it is required that a Remoraid be in the party with a Mantyke when it levels up so that it will evolve into Mantine.
• Many say that Mantine has less potential as a special wall, being 4x weak to Electric.

Origin

It is similar to a manta ray, with some kite-like aspects.

Name origin

Mantine's name, an anglicization of its Japanese name, may be a combination of manta and marine.
