Name origin
The name Wailord originates from the words whale and lord.
Information
Wailord is the largest of all identified Pokémon up to now. This giant Pokémon swims languorously in the vast open sea, eating massive amounts of food at once with its enormous mouth. When chasing prey, Wailord herds them by leaping out of the water and making a humongous splash. It is breathtaking to see this Pokémon leaping out of the sea with others in its pod.
Along with Relicanth, Wailord is needed to unlock the braille caves, which are needed to reach the three Regis.
Avaliability
Wailord is available in both Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. It will evolve from Wailmer at Level 40, and it is catchable in Route 129.
Anime appearance
When Ash is in Slateport City's Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy has to leave to tend an injured Wailord.
Ash and Max are left alone to take care of a young Treecko, Mudkip, and Torchic that a trainer will later come to pick her starter out of those three. Joy left to tend a beached Wailord that May discovered (obviously) on the beach. Jessie & James get the idea to steal the Wailord for themselves and use it as a submarine, and so they tie a harness around it and start to fly off with it on their balloon, to which they have attached turbines. In the end, it was the starters who defeated Team Rocket, freeing Wailord.
