Evolution
Trivia
- When Cresselia is encountered, the music is the same as an ordinary Wild Pokémon. This is presumed to be to try and catch the player off guard.
- Cresselia can be seen as an opposite of Darkrai, as Darkrai causes nightmares, where Cresselia prevents them. Also, their islands are shaped and named opposite of each other.
Origin
Cresselia is based after a swan with features of heavenly bodies such as a crescent moon-shaped head and rings like Saturn's around its body.
Name origin
Its name is derived from crescent, referring to a phase of the moon.
