Wailord (Japanese: ホエルオー Whaloh) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Wailmer starting at level 40.
Biology
Wailord is a huge Pokémon based on the blue whale. It has small beady eyes, a huge mouth, and a throat that is lined with grooves. It has a blue back with and four white spots, and a tan, grooved underbelly. It has two pairs of fins along its sides and a horizontal tail at the back.
When it is jumping out of the water, it makes a giant splash due to its large size. It can compose shockwaves by breaching and crashing onto the water, which can knock out the opponents. It can dive deep at 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) in one breath. It lives in the sea in large groups called pods. A pod of Wailord travels together in order to search for food and is able to eat large quantities at one time, such as schools of Wishiwashi. However it will flee from Wishiwashi when it becomes its School form. When a Wailmer is attacked by its predators Sharpedo or Dhelmise, its whole pod works to defend it. Wailord is popular due to its immense size. As a result, Wailord-watching is a favorite sightseeing activity in various parts of the world. However, they are known to be driven away by fishermen, so they don't eat too much fish Pokémon.

Wailord debuted in Having a Wailord of a Time. The Float Whale Pokémon was stuck on a beach near a Pokémon Center. Team Rocket tried to haul it away, but a Combusken foiled their plans.
In Island Time, a Wailord evolved from a Wailmer that befriended Robin in order to transport Ash and his friends across the ocean. The group disembarked when they came across a ship heading for Ever Grande City.
In Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Manaphy encountered multiple Wailord and rode atop one during the group's voyage to Samiya. Several later actively participated in the showdown between the Water Pokémon and the Phantom and his crew. One briefly reappeared in a montage in The Rise of Darkrai, which chronicled the preceding nine movies.
In PK19, both Pikachu and Meowth's groups landed on top of a Wailord. It was eventually disturbed by Seviper's Haze and was prompted to use Brine, which sent them all blasting off.
