Mantyke

Mantyke (Japanese: タマンタ Tamanta) is a dual-type Water/Flying baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Mantine when leveled up with a Remoraid in the party.

Mantyke is a Pokémon that resembles a manta ray. It has a round body with wide, flat fins. Its back is dark-blue, while its underside is light blue. There are two red spots with white outlines and a light-blue, curved line on its back. These markings give the overall impression of a smiling face and vary slightly in each region. It has two long, curving antennae on top of its head and black eyes with eyelash-like markings underneath.

The antennae are used to sense ocean currents. Mantyke is a friendly Pokémon that can be found approaching boats and swimming near the ocean's surface with schools of Remoraid. It often works together with Remoraid to repel attackers. Due to its friendly nature, Mantyke are very easy to tame. Mantyke are also super-popular in beach actives involving swimming tours. The Mantyke that lives in Galar appears to move slower due to the cold waters of the region.

Multiple Mantyke appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea. Jack Walker used the Capture Styler on one in order to use it to help him reach Samiya. The Mantyke were also among the Pokémon present during the final showdown with The Phantom and his crew. They briefly reappeared in a montage in The Rise of Darkrai, which chronicled the preceding nine movies.

In Cheers on Castaways Isle!, multiple Mantyke were carrying chunks of gray rock on their back upriver to help a Deoxys.

In The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!, Goh caught a Mantyke soon after arriving in Snowpoint City. It later competed in the Pokémon Iceberg Race, where it helped Pikachu. It has since made further appearances in Pokémon Journeys: The Series.
