Biology

Mantine is a manta ray-like Pokémon that evolves from Mantyke. Remoraid attach under Mantine's dorsal fins as part of a mutualistic interaction, which Mantine does not mind.

Design & origin

Mantine's similarities with Manta birostris have been described by The Journal of Geek Studies. Its name comes from the words "manta" and "tine".
