Mantine (Japanese: マンタイン Mantain) is a dual-type introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from when leveled up with a in the party.
==Biology==
Mantine is a large, . Its body is dark blue on the overside, and it has large wing-like fins, with a black ring-shaped mark on the top of either fin, and a jagged outline on the front rim at the bottom. Its head has two long protrusions resembling horns or antennae, and two more black ring-shaped marks on the back. Two pairs of gills are visible on its pinkish gray underside, as well as a pair of beady eyes and a small mouth. Its body has a coarse texture.
Mantine thrives in where it swims freely, often in schools where they race one another. It can breach out of the water and fly 300 feet (100 meters) into the air if it builds up enough speed. In the past, it was often misidentified as a bird Pokémon by observers who saw this behavior. Mantine is sometimes seen with a attached to the underside of one of its fins, scavenging for its leftovers and fighting together with it when attacked. Mantine has a docile nature, and does not mind the Remoraid clinging onto its fin.
In Alola, many surfers ride waves and travel between islands on the backs of Mantine. This has made it an icon in the region, being featured on souvenir postcards and posters.

==Trivia==
* In Generationi III, Mantine is unable to learn Rock Slide from tutors, but it can inherit it through breeding.
* Despite the fact that Mantine evolves from Mantyke in the presence of a , Remoraid has not been present in any of Mantine's sprites in the core series since Generation IV, in which this evolution method was introduced. This may be because the evolution does not "consume" the Remoraid, so the sprites are avoiding a continuity error or creation of a new Remoraid.
===Origin===
Mantine's appearance and behavior of breaching the water's surface is similar to a , a species belonging to the genus (also known as "flying rays"). It also has some -like aspects. Since , 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 . The circular patterns on its body and fins resemble s, common insignias on warplanes.
====Name origin====
Mantine and Mantain may be combinations of manta, and marine, (salt water), or tine (point on an implement; branch on a horn).
