Flavor

All versions' flavor text and sprites

Flavor Text

: When the waves are calm, one may encounter a swarm of MANTINE swimming as if they are in flight.
: It swims elegantly, mindless of REMORAID hitching on to its broad fins. It has a docile nature.
: While elegantly swimming in the sea, it ignores REMORAID that cling to its fins seeking food scraps.
: As it majestically swims, it doesn’t care if REMORAID attach to it for scavenging its leftovers.
: Swimming freely in open seas, it may fly out of the water and over the waves if it builds up enough speed.
