Trivia
- When Cresselia is encountered, the music is the same as an ordinary wild Pokémon. It shares this trait with Shaymin.
- 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.
- Cresselia is one of three legendary Pokémon that has a definite gender (Heatran also has a gender but can be male or female).
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.
