The name Wailord originates from a corruption of the word whale, which it is, and lord, describing its unparalleled size.

It is plausible that the name is a double pun - 'hoeru' in Japanese also means 'To roar' or 'to wail'. Which also fits the 'Wail' part of its English name.

Biological characteristics

Wailord is a gigantic oceanic mammal with the defining characteristics of the real life Blue Whale and other rorquals (indeed, it is the largest of all known Pokémon in sheer size, and the seventh heaviest after Steelix, Snorlax, Metagross, Dialga, Giratina, and Groudon). However, it has a surprisingly low density, weighing only a mere 1325 lbs, in accordance with its appearance characteristic of a zeppelin. The similarly girthed humpback whale weighs from 30 to 50 tons. The unique traits of Wailord are two pairs of side fins, an elevated pair of flukes, and most importantly, a set of large white teeth as opposed to baleen. Out of all the pokemon, wailord is the longest.

Living in the vast oceans of the Pokémon world, Wailord swims languorously in pods of about four members or more, often at the surface so it can breathe through its upper nostrils. With huge mouths these Pokémon can eat massive amounts of undersea food such as krill in a single gulp. When chasing somewhat larger prey, Wailord herd them by leaping out of the water and making humongous splashes in what is often described as a breathtaking display.

If a Wailord inhales to the maximum capacity of its gigantic lungs, it is able to dive close to 10,000 feet below the surface. Optionally by puffing itself up it can float high on the ocean surface or beach on a shoreline if it wishes.

In the video games

Wailord is available in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and can be caught by Surfing on Route 129, but it is extremely rare. It will evolve from Wailmer at Level 40, which is also catchable in Route 129. To find a wild Wailord, however, would require an enormous stroke of luck; it is estimated that a player has roughly a 1% chance of encountering it in the wild. For this reason, many trainers prefer to catch and evolve a Wailmer instead. Along with Relicanth, Wailord is needed to unlock the braille caves in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, therefore unlocking the paths to the three "Regis": Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.
