Stats & Training

Sp. Def leads and Attack gets almost nothing. That's Mantine's stat line in a nutshell. 3 stats sit in respectable range, but the spread is brutal. Very hard to catch and yields 2 Sp. Def EVs.

Pokedex Entries

This calm and gentle Pokémon swims gracefully through the sea. After building speed, it can leap out of the water. It is often misidentified as a bird Pokémon due to this behavior.

Legends: Arceus

Mantine Weakness

Type-wise, Mantine takes extra damage from Electric and Rock. Watch out for Electric attacks, those deal 4x damage. Ground moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity. 5 resistances help offset the weaknesses. Water Absorb grants an additional Water immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Mantine's special bulk (base 140 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Legends: Arceus Mantine Best Moveset

This is a pure walling set. Leftovers provides passive recovery each turn so Mantine sticks around, and the Calm nature reinforces special wall. Roost handles sustain while Waterabsorb does work passively.

Best Build

Legends: Arceus uses different battle mechanics.

Competitive build content is not applicable for this game. Select a main series game for builds.

Moves

A solid spread overall. Mantine gets Hydro Pump and Aqua Tail for same-type damage alongside Normal and Ground coverage and more. It won't blow anyone away, but it doesn't leave you stuck either.

Mantine Guide

  • In Legends: Arceus, Swift Swim changes the entire equation for Mantine. The 485 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier. Roost with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Arceus, Mantine's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric) and Aerodactyl (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Jolteon is the most dangerous since Electric moves deal 4x damage. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Swift Swim is what you want on Mantine. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Water Absorb, Water Veil) work on paper but Swift Swim is what makes Mantine worth using.

  • Base 70 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. On offense, Mantine is a special attacker with base 80 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Tanky enough to absorb a few hits.

  • For Legends: Arceus, the core moveset is Roost, Scald, Defog, and Haze. Roost leads at 25% usage. Scald provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Available in 17 titles since its debut in Gold & Silver, Mantine spans 9 generations of Pokemon games. It's accessible through wild encounters in most mainline games.
