One doesn't usually think of mantas are being cute, but Mantyke is definitely the exception. This little flying fish inhabits the waters leading to the Elite Four's Victory Road, and are few and far between, so be sure to catch it if you ever see one. Mantine, Mantyke's evolved form, is famous for the Remoraid clinging to its fin. As such, for Mantyke to evolve, it must simply level up while you're carrying a Remoraid, and the fusion and evoltion will be complete.
