Trivia
- Phione is the only Pokémon that is obtainable only by breeding a legendary Pokémon.
- Phione has the same base stats as Glalie.
- Phione is taller and weighs more than its parent, Manaphy.
- Phione can be bred not only from Manaphy, but also from a Phione.
- There was much debate over whether or not Phione is a legendary Pokémon until recently, when Pokémon.com revealed that Phione is indeed legendary.[1] This makes it the legendary with the lowest base stats.
- Oddly, the aforementioned letter on Pokémon.com initially answered that Phione was not a Legendary Pokémon, but it was soon corrected.
Origin
Phione is possibly based on sea angels.
Name origin
Phione's name may be a corruption of Fiore, which is where Manaphy's egg is found, combined with "clione", the scientific name for sea angels, or "clone", because its sole purpose is to be a pseudo-Manaphy. It's also likely that フィ comes from マナフィ.
