[[Category:{{{type1}}}-type Pokémon|{{{ndex}}}]] Phione (Japanese: フィオネ Phione) is a Template:Type2 legendary Pokémon.

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

Biology

Physiology

Phione is the result of breeding Manaphy in the Sinnoh region. 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 and club-like arms. Phione's head is larger than the rest of its body, and extending from its eyes are two small circles. It has a swim-bladder on its head with a single, ribbon-like antenna on it.

Gender differences

Phione is genderless.

Special abilities

Phione's abilities are similar to Manaphy's, but weaker. However, 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.

Behavior

Like Manaphy, Phione always go back to the spot where they are born.

Habitat

Phione live in warm seas around the Sinnoh region.

Trivia

• Phione is the only Pokémon that is obtainable only by breeding a legendary Pokémon.
• Manaphy and Phione are the only legendary Pokémon able to legitimately produce eggs.
• 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. However, Phione are unable to produce eggs that will hatch into Manaphy.
• 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.
  • The website initially answered that Phione was not a legendary Pokémon, but it was soon changed.
  • Phione is also the only legendary that gives only one EV point when defeated; all others give a total of three.
• Phione and Nincada are the only Pokémon obtainable by breeding a Pokémon they cannot evolve into (as Shedinja is technically a shed shell).

Origin

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.
