Phione (Japanese:フィオネPhione) is aWater-typeMythical Pokémon introduced inGeneration IV.

It is not known toevolve into or from any other Pokémon, but can be obtained by breedingManaphy or another Phione withDitto.

It is a member of thesea guardians with Manaphy.

Biology

Phione is a bluePokémon with a round head and a tiny body. Phione's head is crowned by a flotation sac with a long, ribbon-like antenna. Its mouth is small, and its eyes are large with blue sclerae and gray irises. Above its eyes are two blue, circular markings connected to the eyes by a thin black line. Its long, flipper-like arms have rounded tips. Phione has a red, oval gem on its chest and a single rudimentary foot spike.

Phione hatches fromEggs laid byManaphy and has been seen accompanying it in small groups. Despite this and the physical similarity between the two species, their relationship is not yet fully understood. Phione possesses a sac on its head which it can use to inflate and drift in the water in search of food. When the water grows warm, it will drift in packs with others of its kind. No matter how far it has drifted, it will always return to the place where it was born. Against natural predators, it uses a defense mechanism that allows its body to blend in with ocean waters.

Phione and Manaphy are theonly known Pokémon capable of learning the moveTake Heart.

Trivia

• Phione is the firstMythical Pokémon inNational Pokédex order to not bePsychic type.
• Phione is the onlyPokémon that is obtainable by breeding aMythical Pokémon.
• Breeding eitherManaphy or Phione can produce a Phione Egg, but Phione can neither evolve into Manaphy nor produce Eggs that can hatch into Manaphy.
• Phione,Nidoran♂,Nidoran♀,Illumise, andVolbeat are the only Pokémon that can be obtained by breeding a Pokémon they cannot evolve into.
• Phione has exactly the same base stats asGlalie.
• Phione is the only fully-evolvedMythical Pokémon that does not yield 3 EVs on defeat, yielding only 1.

Mythical status

Phione's status as aMythical Pokémon (which were instead calledLegendary Pokémon in the West prior to Generation V) has historically been contradicted by some official sources.

• Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide states that Phione is not Legendary (a term used at the time to describe both Legendary and Mythical Pokémon) as it can be obtained through hatchingEggs.
• InPokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, it is not classified as a Mythical Pokémon (localized as "Rare Pokémon" in English, as "Mythical Pokémon" did not exist as a distinct term in English at the time).
• ThePokémon Daisuki Club'sMystery File feature website omits Phione from its list of Mythical Pokémon.
• In thePokémon Kids: Winter Fest badge collection, all other Legendary and Mythical Pokémon have special badge borders and are obtained exclusively through either opening Master pouches or clearing timed challenges. Phione has no special border and is obtained through standard bags, in the same way all non-Legendary/Mythical Pokémon are obtained.
• In thePokémon Bank Pokédex, all other Mythical Pokémon andSpecial Legendary Pokémon have a shiny background, but Phione does not.
• InPokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness, Phione has a full set of fourexclusive items (plus a fifth item that otherwise only appears forbaby Pokémon) that can be found normally. Other Legendary and Mythical Pokémon only have one each and are found behind locked chambers in specific dungeons.
• TOMY's 20th Anniversary plush set includes all Mythical Pokémon fromGeneration I toGeneration V, except Phione.
• InPokémon HOME, it is not possible totrade Mythical Pokémon via theWonder Box, Global Trade System, orRoom Trade. Despite this, when HOME first launched, it was originally possible to trade Phione despite this restriction. This was fixed in a later update.

Origin

Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

On the Origin of Species: Manaphy and Phione

Phione is likely based onsea angels, specificallyClione.Clione are remarkably popular in Japanese documentaries, especially inHokkaido, on which Sinnoh is based. This may also have inspired their appearance inChocovine Town.

Manaphy's trait of only being able to produce Phione as offspring may be inspired byeusociality, a biological phenomenon which usually manifests in a colony of animals having a sole breeding female, or queen, tended to by her usually infertile offspring, or an example of a highly rare and uniquemutation such asalbinism orpolydactyly. Pokédex entries, however, suggest that Manaphy are born in cold waters and are easily affected by their environment, while Phione live in warm waters and come back to their place of birth.

Name origin

Phione may be a combination ofManaphy andClione (a genus of floating sea slugs).
