Manaphy are blue blob-like Pokémon vaguely representing a clione. They have two long antennae extending from atop their head. At the end of these antennae are round objects that resemble a ball. Manaphy can use their antennae to use Heart Swap and switch people's energy. They also have jewel-like markings on their stomachs, one large red gem and a very small yellow gem.

Manaphy are blue blob-like Pokémon vaguely representing a clione. They have two long antennae extending from atop their head. At the end of these antennae are round objects that resemble a ball. Manaphy can use their antennae to use Heart Swap and switch people's energy. They also have jewel-like markings on their stomachs, one large red gem and a very small yellow gem.

The Manaphy in the movie Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea was able to say certain words and sentences. In Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, Manaphy is only obtainable by either trading one from Pokémon Ranger or by receiving one from a special event that was held at Toys R' Us. If the player breeds a Manaphy with a Ditto in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, a new Pokémon named Phione will be conceived. This makes Manaphy one of three legendary Pokémon to breed and produce offspring, (the others being Rotom and Heatran, although neither appear in Smash Bros.) although Phione does not evolve into Manaphy.
In Super Smash Bros Brawl
Manaphy appears from its Poké Ball and uses Heart Swap, it's signature move, temporarily swapping the players bodies. During the heart swap you keep your own damage and lives, and a selfdestruct causes you to lose a life rather than your opponent. Two players need to be close to Manaphy in order for the Heart Swap to take effect. This is the rarest of all Pokémon to appear in the game except for Mew, Celebi and Jirachi, who appear 1/493 of the time and drop collectibles.
