Though ball-like in shape, this Pokémon is a proficient swimmer. I have discovered that if a Mantyke spends much time with schools of Remoraid, it will eventually achieve evolution.
Mantyke is a Water/Flying-type Pokémon. It takes double damage from Rock, quadruple damage from Electric, resists five types, and is immune to Ground. Its base stats add up to 345: the highest is Special Defense (120) and the lowest is Attack (20).
It is the first stage of its evolution line, along with Mantine. Its abilities are Swift Swim and Water Absorb, and its Hidden Ability is Water Veil. It cannot breed: it is in the Undiscovered egg group. In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl it learns 14 moves by level-up and 21 by TM.
