 ===Origin===
-Mantine's appearance and behavior of breaching the water's surface is similar to a {{wp|manta ray}}. Its {{t|Flying}} type seems to be a reference to the ''{{wp|Mobula}}'' genus (also known as "flying rays" due to their propensity for breaching), which manta rays are categorized into since 2017. It also has some {{wp|kite}}-like aspects. Since {{p|Remoraid}}, a Pokémon based on a firearm, often attaches itself to the undersides of Mantine's wing-like fins, Mantine may also be based on a {{wp|fighter plane}}.
