Trivia
- Wailord has the highest amount of HP out of all Water-type Pokémon.
- Wailord is the second longest non-dynamax of all Pokémon, behind Eternatus, but is still the longest Water-type Pokémon.
- It is also slightly taller than the minimum height for Gigantamax Orbeetle and Corviknight
- Despite its immense girth Wailord is notoriously light for its size, at only 398 kg. This would in fact make it less dense than air.
- Wailord's inclusion in the Field Egg Group allows it to breed with much smaller Pokémon, notably Skitty.
- Despite being the second longest Pokémon being at 47'07", real life blue whales (the animal Wailord is based on) can grow to over 100 feet long.
Origin
Wailord is based on a blue whale with elements of a submarine or blimp.
Wailord's name derives from "whale", the animal, and "lord", a reference to its size.
Hoeruō is a portmanteau of "whale" and 王 (ō, king) or 大 (ō, big).
