===Physiology===
Mantine is a large Pokémon combination of a Mantyke and a Remoraid that resembles a manta ray. It has gills, two large antenna, and "wings" which give it its secondary Flying type. Mantine are often seen with a Remoraid attached to it, who eats the Mantine's leftovers. Mantine's underbelly is a lavender color, the tail is a whitish-blue color, and the top is a dark blue color.
==Evolution==
Mantine is the evolved form of Mantyke. Mantyke evolves into Mantine at any level when a Remoraid is in the player's party.

==Trivia==
* The Pokédex states its color is Purple, but its skin is more of a grayish-blue.
* In Black & White and Black 2 & White 2, the sprite of the Pokémon the player uses Surf and Waterfall on resembles a Mantine.
* Despite being said to always have a Remoraid under its fin, this stopped when Diamond & Pearl came out.
** This was possibly done to make sure that the sprite could stay in the perimeter of space.
* Mantine is one of the 9 Pokémon that has a type of Incense (in its case, it has Wave Incense in order to produce Mantyke Eggs).
* In Generation II, Mantine was a counterpart to Skarmory. Both were dual-type Pokémon with the type as their secondary type. Both are also version exclusives in Gold & Silver and have the same capture rate and BST. Mantine has a learnset of mostly special moves and Skarmory has a learnset of mostly physical moves. Ever since the introduction of Mantyke, the main similarities were broken.
===Origin===
Mantine is based on a manta rays or flying manta rays which jump out of the water, which makes them look like they're flying. The Remoraid that it keeps on its side references how remoras often latch onto manta rays for a ride or for food. The position of Remoraid might also reference fighter jets, with Remoraid acting as a gun on the wings. They way it is used as transportation in Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon is similar to surfboards. Its species also implies it is based on a kite.
===Etymology===
Mantine is a mix of manta ray, marine, maritime, brine and possibly teen (seeing how it is a more matured version of its pre-evolution Mantyke).
