Manaphy is a "Legendary" Pokémon, similar to Mew and Celebi in many ways, most notably that to get it requires an outside source (outside of the Generation IV Pokémon games), and its base stats are all the same at 100, the same as Mew.
Supplies[edit]
- Two (2) Nintendo DS Systems (for transferring the egg)
- One (1) Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl game
- One (1) Pokémon Ranger game
- A couple of hours
Requirements[edit]
The only way to obtain Manaphy is to own a copy of Pokémon Ranger and have completed the main story then finish the Recover the Precious Egg! mission. Once you have the Manaphy egg on Pokémon Ranger, you can now transfer it over to Diamond and Pearl with a 2nd Nintendo DS.
Transferring the Egg[edit]
Here's how to transfer it:
- Load the Diamond, Pearl or Platinum game up the New Game/Continue screen.
- Load the Ranger game and go into Ranger Net then click on Check the Egg. Tap the bottom screen then click Send Message.
- Go back on the Diamond, Pearl or Platinum game and hit
. Click on Link with Pokémon Ranger then hit and wait for the transfer to complete. - Go to any Poké Mart in the Diamond, Pearl or Platinum game and talk to the guy in the green uniform and he'll give you the egg if you have an empty slot in your team.
- Hatch the egg and youll get a level 1 Manaphy
This transfer can only happen once per Pokémon Ranger cartridge so make sure you are sending it to the right game.
Getting Phione[edit]
Phione is the result of breeding a Manaphy with a Ditto. Putting both a Manaphy and a Ditto into the Day-Care and walking around for a short amount of time will yield an egg, which will hatch into Phione.
Phione is currently the only Pokémon that can be obtained by breeding a legendary.
Phione can also be obtained through My Pokémon Ranch on the Wii. After expanding the ranch a couple of times, Hayley will ask you to obtain a Leafeon. After doing this with your Diamond/Pearl/Platinum game, you can trade her the Leafeon for a Phione. Then you can transfer it onto your Diamond/Pearl/Platinum game. (This requires an Internet connection on your Wii & 1,000 - 1,200 points on the Wii Shop Channel.)
