Manaphy Location

Location	In-Game View

To find Manaphy, head northeast from the Beachside Camp until you get to Seaside Hollow. Alternatively, you can fast travel to Firespit Island and travel west from there. When you get to the area, find an opening on the side of the mountain and head inside.

Tips and Strategies

Battle Them One by One

When you get to Seaside Hollow, you'll be met both by Manaphy and a few Phione. It's troublesome to take on all of them at once so we recommend battling them one by one. Do this by engaging each of the Pokemon in battle when they move to the edge of the room to attack you.

Use Stunning Items

If you do not want to engage them in battle, you can simply throw stunning items like a Sticky Glob, Snowball. Ball of Mud, and Spoiled Apricorn to make the Pokemon stagger. This will give you enough time to go behind it and throw a Poke Ball for a Back Strike. Repeat the process to the other Pokemon in the room until you have caught them all
