In the anime

Wailord first appeared in Having a Wailord of a Time. The Float Whale Pokémon was stuck on a beach near a Pokémon Center. Team Rocket tried to haul it away, but a Combusken foiled their plans.

A Wailmer that befriended a man named Robin evolved into a Wailord in Island Time. This Wailord transported Ash and friends across the ocean until they came across a ship heading for Ever Grande City.

Along with their pre-evolve form, Wailord appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.

In the manga

At sea, Sapphire from the Hoenn series travels on a Wailord named Wailulu.

Trivia

• A Wailord, along with a Relicanth, is necessary in the party in order to unleash the 3 Regis from their sleeping place within the Sealed Chamber in R/S/E.
• Wailord is well known for the HSOWA joke.
• On Friday, August 24th, a GameFAQ's user named OdogforMVP created a (hacked) Wailord named 'FAILBOAT' and distributed them to every 20th poster in a Pre-Giveaway as well as a giveaway. It had SmokeScreen, Signal Beam, Surf, and Head Smash as its special moves.

Origin

This Pokémon is based on the blue whale, the world's biggest mammal.

Name origin

Wailord's name is a combination of whale and lord. The wail may also refer to the sound that whales and this Pokémon may make.

Its Japanese name is probably a combination of whale and 王 ō, king.
