Mantine was also used by a trainer that was searching for the Silver Feather in Mantine Overboard.

In Just Add Water, Mantine appeared under the ownership of Dorian, owner of the unofficial Coastline Gym.

Brock's mother, Lola, owns a Mantine which was used in her battle against Brock's Onix in A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together.

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.

In Steamboat Willies!, a Mantine which belongs to the owner of a ship helps Ash and Dawn save the ship from falling off a water fall.

Trivia

• Mantine's Generation IV sprite has no Remoraid attached to its wings, unlike past sprites. The ironic part about this is that the same generation introduces Mantyke, which requires a Remoraid in the party in order to evolve into Mantine.
• Mantine is one of nine non-Bug, Template:Type2 Pokémon that cannot learn Fly.

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.
