==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wailord is an immense, blue, whale-like Pokémon with small black eyes and a wide mouth filled with baleen-like teeth. It has a round, blimp-like body with two pairs of fins on either side and a small crescent-shaped tail fluke. Its underbelly is cream with vertical stripes running through it, while its back as a series of small white spots running down its length.
===Behavior===
Wailord are the largest Pokémon of all, and travel in pods across great expanses of the ocean. Despite ther immense sizes, they are surprisingly light, allowing them to float on water. They herd shoals of small prey into a ball and swallows them whole, with their favorite food being Wishiwashi.
These social Pokémon protect their own; if one member of a pod is attacked by a predator like Sharpedo or Dhelmise, the others will come to its aid and surround the attacker. When hunting, Wailord pods will leap out of the water, landing back down with humongous splashes to disorient prey and make capturing them in single gulps easy. They will also use this tactic to confuse foes. Though they must surface to breathe air every once in a while, they can dive as far as 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) with a single breath. They are slow swimmers, which unfortunately makes them targets for many poachers who value them for their uniquely airy blubber. If attacked, Wailord will jet water at opponents using Water Spout to knock them away.
===Natural abilities===
Wailord can not only dive underwater for a long period of time no matter how steep the deepness of the water is, but they can also effortlessly spout pillars of water and even powerful beams.
==Evolution==
Wailord is the evolved form of Wailmer starting at level 40.

==Trivia==
*Wailord has the highest amount of HP out of all Water-type Pokémon.
**It also has the fifth highest HP out of all Pokémon (only beaten by Eternamax Eternatus, Blissey, Chansey and Wobbuffet).
*Despite Wailord being huge, it is shown to be smaller once the player character obtains it. 
*Wailord is the second longest non-dynamax of all Pokémon, behind Eternatus, but is still the longest -type Pokémon.
**It is also slightly taller than the minimum height than Gigantamax Orbeetle and Corviknight.
*Despite its immense girth, Wailord is notoriously light for its size, at only 398 kg. This would in fact make it less dense than air.
*Despite being the second longest Pokémon being at 47'07", real life blue whales (the animal Wailord is based on) can grow to over 100 feet long.
===Origin===
Wailord is based on a blue whale with elements of a submarine or blimp.
===Etymology===
Wailord's name derives from whale and lord, a reference to its size.
Hoeruō is a portmanteau of whale and 王 (ō, king) or 大 (ō, big).
