 <small>''Mantyke debuts in Gen IV''</small>
-Mantine is a Pokémon based on a manta ray that uses its wing-like fins to leap out of the ocean. Its special defense stat is quite high but its typing leaves it open to electric type moves, which undermines its ability as a special wall. It's also the heaviest Johto Pokémon and received a baby in Mantyke. It has a pattern of a smiling face on its back.
+Mantine is a Pokémon based on a manta ray that uses its wing-like fins to leap out of the ocean. Its special defense stat is quite high but its typing leaves it open to electric type moves, which undermines its ability as a special wall. It's also the 2nd heaviest Johto Pokémon after Mega Tyranitar, and received a baby in Mantyke. It has a pattern of a smiling face on its back.
+* [[Acrofatic]]: Despite its appearance, it weighs a hefty 485.0lbs/220.0kg. It is the heaviest non-Mega Evolved Pokémon from the Johto reigon.
-* [[For Massive Damage]]: [[Shock and Awe|*BZZT*]] <ref>[[Don't Explain the Joke|Like Gyarados before it (and Pelipper and Swanna after it)]], Mantine is completely ''wrecked'' by Electric attacks. Unlike Gyarados, Mantine doesn't have a good Attack stat with which to scare Electric-types away by threat of Earthquake. Also, Mantine's Speed stat is just as horrible as Skarmory's is. As such, even the Special-oriented Electric-types can easily switch in safely and then proceed to completely and utterly ''ruin'' Mantine's day.</ref>
+* [[Blow You Away]]: It's Flying-type, and is known as the "Kite Pokémon". Can now learn Hurricane via TR in ''Sword/Shield''.
-* [[Blow You Away]]
+* [[Burn It With Fire]]: Subverted; it can't learn any Fire-type moves, but it can use Scald to burn opponents. More like: "Burn It With Boiling Water!"
-* [[Making a Splash]]
+* [[For Massive Damage]]: [[Shock and Awe|*BZZT*]] <ref>[[Don't Explain the Joke|Like Gyarados before it (and Pelipper and Swanna after it)]], Mantine is completely ''wrecked'' by Electric attacks. Unlike Gyarados, Mantine doesn't have a good Attack stat with which to scare Electric-types away by threat of Earthquake. Also, Mantine's Speed stat is just as subpar as Skarmory's is. As such, even the Special-oriented Electric-types can easily switch in safely and then proceed to completely and utterly ''ruin'' Mantine's day.</ref>
-* [[Stone Wall]]: Mantine tries to be this, it really does. Compared to Skarmory, its stats are inverted, with Skarmory specializing in physical defense while Mantine specializes in special defense. Unfortunately for Mantine, its tanking abilities are [[Overshadowed by Awesome|surpassed by Blissey]], and as a further kick in the face... well, just see [[For Massive Damage]] above.
+* [[Heal Thyself]]: Can do so quite handily thanks to its Ability, Water Absorb. As of ''Sun/Moon'' however, Mantine can now learn Roost.
+* [[An Ice Person]]: As with many Water-types, Mantine can learn Ice Beam and Blizzard.
+* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Give it a Modest nature, Swift Swim, Rain Dance, max Sp.Atk and Speed, and the Waterium-Z crystal, Mantine can easily become this.
+* [[Making a Splash]]: Based on a ray, and is part Water-type (naturally).
+* [[Rain Dance]]: Mantine can not only learn the move of the same name, but can also take advantage of it if it has Swift Swim.
+* [[Stone Wall]]: Mantine tries to be this, it really does. Compared to Skarmory, its stats are inverted, with Skarmory specializing in physical defense while Mantine specializes in special defense. Unfortunately for Mantine, its tanking abilities are [[Overshadowed by Awesome|surpassed by Blissey]], and as a further kick in the face... well, just see [[For Massive Damage]] above. That said, in ''Sun/Moon'', Mantine's HP was buffed from 65 to 85.
+* [[Won't Work On Me]]: Is naturally immune to Ground-type moves, but it can also have immunity to Water if it has Water Absorb.
